Who doesn't like football?

[Reaperman Wompa]

I like hitting people but not playing football. Hmmmm... maybe there's something behind that.

Boring as hell to watch, and the fun part of playing is only about 5 minutes out of an hour game.

I only watch football during the World Cup with my Football loving friends. For me its an excuse to get drunk and have a good time with the lads.

I don't really like football either. i don't understand why someone would be willing to get into a fight with someone because they 'support' a different team. i also don't understand how they attach or asociate themselves with the team - 'We' won? which position did you play?

All competitives sports are, in some ways, an analogy or abstraction of conflict and dominance. So it would only make sense that skill-less fans would deconstruct that element to the bare debased structure of a fist fight.

I feel good now, because I thought I was the only male alive who didn't like watching sports. I've tried to get into soccer, rugby, hurling and gaelic, but they're all just so damn boring. I would try watching american football, but they don't show it over here and it kinda seems to be a pussy version of rugby. Y'know, 'cause you get to throw forward and wear padding.

For the people who don't know what gaelic is, it's sort of like a cross between rugby and soccer and it's only really played in Ireland.
And for the people who don't know what hurling is, it's sort of like hocky and is also only really played in Ireland.

I can't count the number of times I have been sat in a pub while the footy is on and witnessed a fight, or at the very least a fight brewing, soon to take place outside in the streets. It's almost as if the fans expect to get into fights, and actively seek trouble so that they can have a punch up and the one that doesn't get hospitalised can claim that the team he supports is now obviously better.

I've even gotten a little grief myself for simply being in a pub when the footy is on, and not supporting either team or even watching the game.

I don't have much against the sport itself, just EVERYTHING that surrounds it.

I think Football/Soccer is a snooze fest, watching a bunch of weedy sweaty men kick a ball around is for weaklings.

You want a real mans game like rugby where contact is allowed. In football i hear people get poked and they fall over crying with a broken leg. Rugby? Nahh none of that, dislocating their arm in that is a baby wound. Get off the pitch for 5 mins, put it back in then they are put back in the game.

My honest opinion really.

Hey rugby fans, proof that your sports players just can't hit as hard as American football players.

Not to say that rugby players aren't tough, since they do make and take more tackles per game, but football still has the potential to hit harder.

Me, I don't like football (or soccer as I prefer to think of it, by which I mean it makes more sense to call the game in which you mostly kick the ball "football" than the one where you mostly carry or throw it).

I get why people like it but I've always found that video games simulate violence and warfare more accurately and with less injury, and more entertainingly.
