How did bowling survive but baseball didn't?
(lemmy.world)
And yes, the 1701 really has a bowling alley.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

No but like a concert, or a dog show or domino knocking or literally anything else would involve an excited crowd and something enjoyable to experience.
I can't explain it to you how this is different from something like a concert more than saying that the intense competition going on is a big part of it. I don't even think you can say that about a dog show because there's no action there.
"Intense competition" and "action" aren't associated with baseball. Why do people drink so much at baseball games? Because nothing exciting is happening. At least with bowling the people playing do something, instead of 80% of the team standing around doing nothing. Everytime someone bowls is exciting, things happen. A pitcher, at their best nothing happens. Boring!
Okay, well you can find sitting at a bowling alley watching people bowl more exciting than a professional baseball game, but I sure don't. And one other person here agrees with me about not enjoying sports but enjoying the whole atmosphere of a baseball game.
