Baseball is the sport I most love. I haven't ever played a game of baseball in my life.
Soccer is the game I most loved to play and really have no interest in watching. If you don't see the entertainment value in watching people, who are the best at what they do, compete then there is no common ground on which to explain the appeal. Though I don't see how figure skating is any more designed to be watched than baseball is. The only reason that baseball evolved into its modern form is because enough people were interested in watching that a few people realized they could make a living doing it. Baseball, when it was purely something done and not watched was a very different game.
Just as I don't understand the entertainment value of spinning in a circle, so you'll never be able to make me care how fast the teacups go.
