Baseball is a relatively stationary sport but watched any double plays, sliding into home or bench clearing brawls? NBA is extremely physical

Basketball maybe physical but it's still less of a contact sport though as far as the rules go(as I understand them), Baseball definitely is, pitchside brawls are nothing to do with it. We have those in football, they'll have seen South American atmospheres more than we have and it gets way more aggressive than any baseball game in some of those games. I can see a large amount of them are macho and need their violence but those two sports would not be as popular as they are if it was the main reason Soccer isn't as popular.

Maybe there is a macho element to the reasons for it, in that the women seem to have claimed it as a female sport, where it's been a man's game in the rest of the world for as long as it's existed.

Get up you drama queen

To be fair, that is going to sting a bit.

Jeez that's a weird 'un! Nobody fouled anybody but Yanquis get a free kick. Mind, that ref looks as though she's been queuing on the Tex-Mex border.

This is true as well which is probably why the women's team gets so much good attention & support in the US, they win & win often - at least their game is wonderful to watch

For a supposed non-contact sport Basketball is incredibly physical.
