You are a very silly person if you think the sports you are mocking at "a child's level of understanding" lack subtlety worth appreciating. The American public's disinterest in sports like fencing or dressage has a lot more to do with the blue-collar sporting tradition that produced baseball, basketball, football, and hockey that stands in contrast to the hobbies of European aristocracy, preparatory academy athletics, and military academy competitions that turned into the modern olympic sports. They are not superior, just different and fairly foreign to an American audience for reasons of historical contigency.
