because it sucks
No, it does not suck. It's an amazingly fun "game" to play, but I would dare calling it a sport. There is hardly any strenuous physical activity required. This makes people test their limits of spirit and mind which evokes competition, which a true sport has. I even recall seeing fat players in Baseball teams, who probably gained a spot only for their batting skills.
Baseball doesnt suck and it is a sport and it is a very fun sport to play and it is hard at points. baseball is called our national pastime for a reason many people do like to watch it and its not called our national sport because its not .

What is America's official national sport?
Since the late 1800s, most Americans have regarded baseball as the "national pastime." But since the 1950s, there has been tremendous growth in the popularity of football, and many people would suggest that football has overtaken baseball in popularity. However, America does not really have an official national sport the way some countries that are "soccer-mad" do; soccer (called "football" in other countries, but a different game from American football) never really took hold here, and our national teams are not as widely followed as they are in other countries. =============================== The National Sport of the United States is Baseball. That's is one of the reasons they call it the Great American Pastime.
