Members Wilbo26 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm looking forward to Curling season myself. I stopped liking the NBA when they moved away from the short shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juat Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 FUTBOL (soccer) is all that matter here............. maybe some baskteball, but only a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Honourable MOC Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 I find it funny when Americans call it REAL football and the ball doesn't get played with the foot. It should have been called American Rugby, but oh well. They can have they're ass-slapping fat men in tight pants tackle each other while the rest of the world can have or pansy-like divers play a much more attractive game. Yes I know I'm Canadian. But I grew up playing soccer not Hockey which in its own right is a fantastic sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in the early days drop kicks were quite common in football, and the ball was rounder and closer to a soccerball than it is now, hence the name. Got it eh?

Members beezdeez Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 NBA sucks because they don't play defense. It's boring watching people sink threes all the time. But Wade is an awesome player. Deserves the victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Footbal is more about strategy and strengh, not a bad sport but certainly not my favorite. could care less about basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Honourable MOC Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Baseball is only good at the park with beer in one hand a hot dog in the other. Or if you are actually playing the game, which at best isn't the most exciting. Otherwise it's an incredible waste of a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually going up to Dallas this weekend to see a game at the Ballpark. It will be my first pro game in over a decade. I'm looking forward to the dog and a beer.

Members POGphile Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Soccer is only the most popular sport in the whole entire world. We are the only country that marginalizes this sport...but of course we are smarter than the every country put together on planet Earth. Soccer is the only sport with continous, NON-STOP 45 minues of action(except for few minutes of injury time, fouls and ball out of bound. Few reasons why so many americans dislike soccer: 1. NO stoppage time means less chance for sponsors playing their commercials, and no time for vendors to sell their hot dogs and beer. 2.. TOO MUCH RUNNING. Most americans hate excercise and rather watch their overweight baseball heros stand around and scratch their fat asses for 2 hours... and still be called athletes LOL. 3. NO ELITE STATUS cuz very little equipment and facilites are needed... Hence why poor Brazillians kids kicking a can around, can grow up to be stars. Think of all the equipment that that a football player needs. 4. In the cold war era is was associated with the communists. Personally I don't dislike any of the sports. I just give some more attention to some than others. To put down any sport without first trying it is a sign of profound ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention that we only like sports that involve lots and lots of scoring. Just compare baseball these days to games back in the day. If the score doesn't resemble something like 10-16, Americans need not apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the lack of patience and need for instant gratification. For the enlightened , the pursuit of the goal in itself is nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Happy_Thom Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 well let's look at it this way *real* football is way better than american football but rugby is still {censored}. The worst out of them all. And whilst baseball can be a bit boring during the bits that aren't double plays, amazing catches or homeruns it's still 100000 times better than cricket.... We should agree on that surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
