Yes, it's fun to play.

Yes, it requires a level of overall conditioning and athleticism that surpasses most "popular" U.S. sports.

Yes, it's utterly boring as hell to watch as a spectator.

Even understanding what's going on and the strategies that reveal themselves on the playing field it's still very boring to watch. Perhaps part of the problem is it's SO difficult to have any kind of meaningful commentary going on while the game is on. You might as well turn the sound off of your television.

In the land of the shot-clock and where if there are less than 8 touchdowns in a game people get bored it'll never catch on. It might get a following in certain ethnic circles, but in so doing it'll only represent another way that people of those ethnic groups isolate themselves within our society and end up being resented for it. Just what we need. . .
