From an admittedly non-sportsfan perspective, I genuinely don’t understand watching soccer in the first place. Aside from the fake injury melodrama (Which I concede is pretty fun): soccer, hockey and basketball are the exact same sport with different shaped balls. It’s all like watching paint dry.

You've clearly never watched any of those sports.

It's weird they stopped at those sports. Based on the similarities (2 teams trying to move an object to a 'goal' on opposite ends of a playing surface), 90% of team sports are the same. US Football, rugby, water polo, ultimate Frisbee: all the same sport. Then other major team sports would be tennis/volleyball/racquetball/badminton/jai alai, baseball/cricket, and curling. So there are really only 4 team sports I can think of.
