You get into NFL because it's the best spectator sport for an outsider.

Baseball is too boring.

Basketball has too many fouls.

Ice hockey is too random and is like watching a game of pinball on ice.

Go with the NFL. Just read Wikipedia and r*ddit, and then watch YouTube videos of old games. Very accessible.

I went to a minor league baseball game in america once, was a pretty cool experience

American football and hockey are the best ones. Apehoop is boring and boreball is dead and won’t be back for a while with an upcoming strike.

>>153687418
>Should I get into American football, basketball, baseball or ice hockey, and why?
I would say football, it's the most relevant one here and it's easy to keep up since teams only play once a week (kinda like soccer). However NFL season just ended and it won't start again until September, right now there's NBA, NHL and MLB is gonna start in a month.
>Where do you watch them?
Just search for streams on reddit
>Are there any good resources to learn about those sports?
Wikipedia I guess?

baseball is great because its relaxing enough that you dont need to follow every minute detail or play but it can snowball into a lead change or break the game open with just the smallest amount of momentum. what you need to remember, and I really, genuinely cannot stress this enough, please read what a pitcher's role is and what he does, and you'll understand why the ball isn't put into play every 5 seconds.

unless you watch the rockies. or A's. Or white sox

>>153687636
Minor league? So like a 2nd or 3rd division game?

>>153687631
Are Brits into American sports? I thought you all watched the Premier League.

>>153689185
Yeah we have a whole minor league system (MiLB) here with five different levels I think.
The WBC (World Cup of baseball) starts soon so you could try watching that. Just know it'll be different from league play, there are certain rule limitations not featured in MLB, because of the tournament nature.

>>153689959
Thanks, I'll check it out.

>>153687418
Baseball and football are the best, don't waste your time with basketball. I don't watch hockey so I don't have an opinion on it.
>Are there any good resources to learn about those sports?
Watching games is the best way to learn the rules, you can check wikipedia or something as well.

oops, i saw the actual flag as soon as i posted this. diregard.
anyway, our "big 4" sports are football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. pick one you like the most, then pick a team. most of us are born into fanhoods of certain teams based on where we grow up so idk who to tell you to root for. follow the team, learn the players, learn the game, then figure out how to watch.

>>153687418
Football = everybody
Baseball = latino's and whites
Basketball = blacks and eurotrash
Hokey = whites who live near Canada

>>153692430
Like the other anon said search for streams on reddit or wherever else you find streams for sports.

football is the most american. baseball used to be most american. its really chill, but theres 162 games in a season so you have to stay on top of the statistics to know ball. hockey is the most consistently fun to watch but its unfortunately kinda niche now, but you get rabid fans that love their teams (my red wings:) basketball is fun in the playoffs but its soft and gay during the season

The NFL youtube highlights have been an alright way to casually follow it, although they could do with more replays instead of rushing through it. If you don't know any results you could go to the playlists and start at week 1 of last season.

Rockies and A's are also compunded by playing in crap stadiums (A's are currently playing in a temporary stadium in preparation for a move to a new one, the move itself is questionable but their old stadium was also bad)

>>153695298
Have you played it?

The big 4 are all soulless. Ice hockey is decent but only really enjoyable in person plus only yankees care about it mostly. Baseball is boring but comfy, especially minor leagues. Worst part about it is that they let too many teams into the postseason and it was already a "get hot at the right time" kinda sport. Ape hoop's only function is to sell hiv prep meds to zesty nogs and for libtard Whites to follow to look less racist. As a sport it was perma crocked by spamming 3 pointers and the refs inability to call basic dribbling violations (due to racism). Leading us to the most soulless and retarded sport (hence the most popular) American football. This is the most boring sport to watch live because most of the time you stare at fat men milling about while the tv audience is shown the same truck/beer commercial incessantly. When they actually do play, stoppage is imminent due to catastrophic injury to a fat (legs finally gave up) or a roided nog (concussion). Playing fantasy football is as close to having a real Death Note as it gets. The gameplay seems high IQ but it really just boils down to whether the refs want to punish your team with arbitrary holding calls.

All of these sports are subject to the whims of franchise owner, Mr Shekelberg. If Shekelberg can't get the city taxpayers to build him a new stadium with tax increases (his stadium is 5 years old and needs "modernizing") he will take your childhood team and move it to a metropolitan area naive enough to pay for his new stadium.

I watch pro disc golf. The courses are usually interesting to look at and feature the one thing America hasn't ruined yet, the nature parks, and the players are there for the love of the game (also 90% White). There is a lot Christian frolfers that make redditors seethe and even some decently attractive female players.

>>153697887
NHL truly is the least pozzed one of the four

You'd probably identify with the Rockies given how they are the high elevation team, which is a major blessing and curse in baseball.

As European, who only watched football all my life and just last 2 years started checking other sports, I would go with baseball and hockey. NFL is commercial galore with barely and gametime and lazy fucks play only like 17 games each regular season. NBA gets worse each year and is also completely boring with zero defense, diving and chucking 3s.

1. Baseball
2. NHL
3. NFL
4. NBA

Football and basketball are the only true American sports. Baseball has been taken over by spics. If you want to get hardcore American watch college football and basketball although it’s not what it was before NIL.

Why not follow all four? If "amateur" athletics doesn't put you off you could pick a college that sponsors all four big sports at the highest level and follow their teams as they as heavily or lightly as you desire. Here is a list:

United States Air Force Academy (Air Force)
++Arizona State University
United States Military Academy (Army)
+Boston College
Bowling Green State University (Bowling Green)
*Brown University
*Cornell University
*Dartmouth College
*Harvard University
*College of the Holy Cross
*Lindenwood University
*Long Island University
*University of Maine
*Merrimack College
Miami University (Miami(Ohio))
+++University of Michigan
++Michigan State University
++University of Minnesota
+++University of Notre Dame
+++Ohio State University
+++Pennsylvania State University
*Princeton University
*Sacred Heart University
*University of St. Thomas
++University of Connecticut (UConn)
Western Michigan University
*Yale University

*These colleges play football in the Division 1 Championship Subdivision (FCS) so they are effectivly not at the highest level of football competion and have less media coverage as a result
+,++,+++Higher media coverage/larger fan bases

Realistically you are on 4chan and will be a fan with other 4channers so find which general you enjoy lurking/posting in the most. /cbb/ or /march maddness/ will be coming up soon for college apehoop so watch out for tbose in particular. Its a fun time even if you don't have a dog in the fight.

Courts shat on custom and said NCAA can't restrict student-athletes from monetizing their NIL. De facto pay for play ensued and most people dislike the kiked results. (At least now everybody pays players so the privledged cheaters have stumbled a bit)

>>153710372
Thank you, Anon.

Is there a way to watch or stream those outside of the US? How do people inside the US watch sports?

>>153710396
Standard piracy sites would be my bet. Often they are listed under NCAA, NCAAF. SEAniggers often restream on youtube God bless them. TV or increasingly streaming in the US. I DVR my schools games so I can watch later at my convenience and skip the ads.

https: streameast.fit ncaa-streams
Duke NC State should be a good game if you want to try apehoop.

Bullshit.
1. Indiana's victory more on Cignetti than NIL.
2. Tying success to finacial resources is why private capital, jersey advertisements, field/stadium sponsorships and transfer portal gayness is all happening now.
3. Georgia-Oklahoma vs. NCAA started this shit, but at least college sports got easier to watch.
4. The rich will get richer. Gonna get tired of seeing the same old teams in a few years.
5. The plague of 6th year seniors
6. Football money destroying smaller sports, but just see 4.

Finally found my favorite piracy site btw: https: tvpass.org

Baseball is a sport that’s really exciting when the games are at high stakes. If you’re really interested, the WBC (international tournament) is in a few days. The sport is an acquired taste but once you start understanding all the nuances there’s really nothing like it.

Peru should launch a baseball program and become a superpower.

Actually the point is that Tecmo Super Bowl is all you need to get into the sport. Modern games are bloated.

>>153715170
There were but they weren't as good. There are modders who update roms, some are good and some are bad. The classic experience on the original NES, with the controllers just can't be beat.

>>153715310
I used to play RBI Baseball and Tecmo online in the early 10's. It's easily possible with emulators and each person having a decent connection.

>>153715170
ea sports games around 07-12ish before they introduced player cards and ultimate teams werent that bad. even games in the the 00-07ish range arent that bad if you dont mind no "skill stick" and like an arcade style of play. get like a ps2 emulator and play games from 00s - early10s times if you want it more modern.

Can you learn how to play and the rules with videogames? I wonder if the rules have changed too much as of 2026 when compared to playing 2000s or 2010s games.

>>153715956
you can learn the general rules for sure, but small little details of the sport that you might only learn by playing it, probably not. lets take hockey for example, when you are a small child first playing as a defenseman, one of the first things they will teach you is, if you have the puck in your own zone and the other team is closing you down and you have no teammate to pass to, dont ever try to force something to happen, just chip it off the glass and into the neutral zone. practically an unspoken rule of hockey that im sure 99% of nhl defenders know too, but there is no button in a video game to just chip the puck off the glass and into the neutral zone. you try to get cute with the puck there in real life and you will drive coaches mad, and depending on what type of team/league you are playing on, its an easy way to find yourself stapled to the bench. but in a video game nothing happens. so you didnt really learn the "rules" of hockey by playing a hockey video game. im sure there are rules and scenarios like that for every sport and every video game. i just used hockey as an example because its the only sport i know that well.

overall the strategies would have likely changed more than the rules. the biggest rule change across all the major league sports in the past 25 years is probably the expansion of video review. the format of overtime in some sports has changed a bit, but its still next goal wins. full contact sports like the nfl or nhl have cracked down on guys heeming other guys. harsh penalties for headshots/blindside hits etc that might not have been the case 20 years ago. most rules changes are generally minor, like where the ball is placed or faceoff or inbounding happens after something happens.
