General : American football,baseball and basketball is all crapola!

[Dude111]

Lets face it,the football they play here is not football at all.

Football is football played to feet with a ball!!

American football is a tv advert break game so boring in every way played by men on steroids wearing more armour then medievil knights!!

Rugby players dont wear armour!!

Baseball is in fact a girls game called rounders that the girls in the UK play while the boys go off to play proper football.

Basketball is just up one end score a basket....down the other end....score a basket..etc etc. The only interesting bit is the last ten seconds.
You dont ever get real atmosphere like with a great football match either.

And the Americans call one of their cups the world series when no one else plays thier sports.

I put up for debate that American sports are just stupid.

Thats why other then basketball no one plays them.

No atmosphere at all. Just eat food and get bored.

People think the US is the best country in the world but when you really know whats going on,you know they are actually A GREAT BIG THREAT TO THE WORLD!!

I totally agree about basketball. It's largely chasing from end to end. Just have to look at the high numbers in the scorelines.


The format of American football predates TV. Weird that they have 3 separate sections of a team, that depend on state of play.
Cricket is also a slow sport with pauses, especially a 5-day test match.


Rugby Football League, Australian Rules Football.


There is a World Baseball Classic competition with teams from around the world.

Baseball is an incredibly complex game, with masses of rules (well, it should be simple, but the rulebook - and it is a book, a thick one - changes that). To give you an idea, even the crew of DS9 had trouble with it.

They found a way to win by losing, though, and they lost in style!

SOLOK: I fail to see why you are celebrating. The Ferengi's bunt was an accident. And you still lost the game.
SISKO: You are absolutely right. And I couldn't be happier. Quark, a round of drinks for the house on my tab.
QUARK: I'm way ahead of you, Captain.
SOLOK: You are attempting to manufacture a triumph where none exists.
KASIDY: I'd say he succeeded.
BASHIR: To manufactured triumphs.
SISKO: Manufactured triumph. Hear, hear!
NINERS: Hear, hear!
SOLOK: This is a typical human reaction, based on emotionalism and illogic.
SISKO: Did I hear irritation in that voice?
SOLOK: Certainly not.
BASHIR: That sounded positively defensive to me.
O'BRIEN: With a hint of anger.
QUARK: And just a touch of jealousy.
KASIDY: And a lot of bitterness.
EZRI: Are you always this emotional?
SOLOK: I refuse to engage in this human game of taunting.
EZRI: Human? Did I forget to wear my spots today?
QUARK: All that intelligence and he still doesn't know what a human looks like.

The only thing wrong with American Football is its name, and that wont ever change now.

As a game I like it - and UK football has become more boring, and considerably more expensive, in recent years.

That whole post looks a bit artificial to me.

Soccer sorry but it's what always called it. A target area the size of a barn door with one man standing in it and an other well paid person can't kick a ball into it , over it yes ,to the sides wow. Seems that the game is kick the ball the the other team and back again, get a tap on the shoulder and roll on the floor . The only game I really like is rugby union

The term Soccer is just a term coined after the name of the game which is Association Football

I hate football always thought it should have the countries players and not international. Preferred it when there was a foreign limit of 3 players ther 3+2 rule since then I have not bothered. I like the speed of basketball. Years ago in kickboxing class we used to play full contact basketball as our classes was in a school gym that had a court. Now that was fun I tell ya
