Snooker with cube-shaped balls might not seem so bad, as the camera is fixed on the same area for long periods but with football, it is following the ball and panning and zooming a lot. Does being able to see every blade of grass enhance the experience?
Please don't flame me. It's an genuine theory and honest question.

A poor game of football isn't entertaing no matter what the definition is. I forgot I was watching in HD once until I noticed dandruff on Alan Hansen's jacket at half time. There are some advantages to SD
The best game of football I haver seen was the european cup final in 1967 - and it was in B&W
