I like to play sports myself, but watching others do them is really boring. With maybe the exception of handball, but that's only because it is the sport that I have most experience playing myself and understand all the tactics more deeply than in any other sport.
wierd thing is Im not american at all, and most of the people in my country call soccer "football".Lokithrsourcerer said:
but my choice to call soccer as soccer is because Im more familiar with football (american), and there isnt another name for football other then football. that and soccer isnt called football in my native language, but (american) football is called football (blame poor translation)
plus, its been called soccer at the start, why change it?
I'm a big hockey fan. I've been having the time of my life these past couple weeks watching the Vancouver Canucks playoff run. =D
I absolutely love sports. I just fucking hate watching them.
I mean, seriously, what is the fucking point of watching something that you can just do yourself?

That was the greatest video ever. Leaving the best fight for last, i always like to back and watch Rob Ray fights. I am a huge hockey fan now living in what will become Hockey Heaven, but the NFL is hard to get into, probably because my home team is the Bills and they have been ill for the last ten years.Adam Galli said:
I don't tend to really watch sports, however I do enjoy playing them. The only thing I play at a competitive level is hockey (regular hockey not ice), where I play for a local team.
I then play various other sports like tennis and basketball with friends when it's warm.

Oh, you sold a jersey? 4 game suspension. We will continue to make money off of your image, though. Hypocrites.Laxman9292 said:Ugh tell me about it. Although no matter what college football is gonna happen! I'm so pumped about that, even though the NCAA are taking pages out of the NFL playbook and being gigantic douchers.RedEyesBlackGamer said:Lets end this while we are both civil. Not like the draft matters. Odds are there won't be a season this year, anyway. The NFL is already appealing that judge's decision to a pro-business court.Laxman9292 said:I'm American too and I love handegg, at least college, I'm not following the draft as much as I should but that's what being a busy college student gets you. I also love football too, so it's frustrating when I start talking about football then someone's like "huh?" and I have to go "*sigh* soccer, the real football, ya know the one that uses feet and a ball?"RedEyesBlackGamer said:I don't see why people can't just, know you, ignore it if you don't like it. It just comes off as being snarky to Americans.Laxman9292 said:I think people get so mad about this joke because it straight up makes sense, the only times you use feet in football are for kickoff, field goal, PAT, and punts. The time the ball is on a foot during a game is about 1:99999 compared to it being in contact with hands. How about we just use futbol for football, and let yall keep the nonsensical football.RedEyesBlackGamer said:Kinda hard when the "joke" is repeated ad nauseum every time the topic is brought up.No_Remainders said:Take a joke to heart more.RedEyesBlackGamer said:Don't start with that nonsense. It is called football. Deal with it.No_Remainders said:I love rugby, and I like American Hand-Egg and football.
Please, do.
Not a fan of most sports. I enjoy playing tennis, table tennis and biking. Not opposed to beach (or other kind I suppose, but not really a lot of opportunity for playing it since high school) volleyball either. However, I don't enjoy watching sports. I don't mind watching tennis and maybe even table tennis, but it's not something I'd normally do in my leisure time, maybe if there was an important game on and there was someone to watch it with.
Football/basketball/hockey/rugby/etc. though? Can't stand watching that stuff. Boring as all hell. Not great at playing either, last played football/basketball in elementary school and even then I wasn't really too good at them.

I've played hockey for the last 11 years, so I guess you could call me a pretty big sports fan if hockey is anything to judge by.
Besides that, I like playing most other sports. But I can't watch any basketball or soccer game, live or otherwise, without getting bored to death after 5 minutes. In basketball all that matters are the last 5 minutes, and in soccer, well, I just don't care about it as much in general.

I love sports. Football (soccer) and Rugby have got to be my fav's, tennis is ok and surprisingly i like a bit of golf. But i can not stand cricket, it's just awful.
Just recently watched my first basketball game as well, and that was pretty cool, so might start trying to find some matches on tv.

I take it you're a Georgia fan?RedEyesBlackGamer said:
OT: I love pretty much all sports. My favorites are Football, Hockey, and Baseball (in that order) and I play all three of them all the time. I'm not really a fan of the NBA considering it's probably the most corrupt (besides the obvious Bettman love affair with Crosby) but I like College Basketball.
