What’s the sports event in 24 you are waiting for the most outside of Paris Olympics ???

 

I would say UEFA euro 24

Probably either the Gangwon YOG, or the Canadian Olympic Swimming Trials. But there’s also VNL, all the various tennis slams, Short Track Speed Skating Worlds, 3x3 Basketball OQTs, and X Games Aspen.

There are other sports events this year? 

 

But to answer the question. Euro 2024, NFL playoffs (if my Buffalo Bills don't miss out), and NCAA basketball tournament (March Madness)

I just don’t get all this hype about baseball . I tried to watch it few times but it is soooo boring to me. I fell asleep twice

 

i understand baseball may be a nice way to spend Sunday afternoon in the local pitch playing or watching an amateur league, a picnic or sth … but to watch it on TV??? Nope.
