Science is the art of blasphemy.

Re: Scientists Prove Soccer is Better than Baseball
Cool study. It would be interesting to see how other major soccer leagues compared to the Premiership. I'm guessing La Liga in Spain and Der Bundesliga in Germany would come out as being less competitive. The top teams tend to own those leagues.
As for U.S. sports, the results don't surprise me. Had you asked me to list which sports are the most competitve and unpredictable I'd have given you the baseball, hockey, basketball, football order. Though it's entirely possible that predictability and ritual appeal to the average American sports fan more than competition.

The other leagues are as M2 says, top heavy with stud teams like Real Madrid or AC Milan |

Next study: Who's Hotter? Soccer Moms or basbeball Moms?
I've dealt with both, and some soccer Moms I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
