Is North American sport crap?

American football = "ladyboy" rugby: This has to be the the most boring
game in the history of the universe. Two teams of neanderthals clad in
lycra tights, ludicrously oversized shoulder-pads and
buttock-accentuators go into a clinch every now and then (typically
between adverts) and um... that's it, really.

Hours of unalloyed tedium interspersed with micro-seconds of "action"
which could only be appreciated by those who exude a whiff of lavender.
Play rugby, you puffs.

Basketball = netball: As played by schoolgirls the world over.

baseball = rounders: See basketball

Ice hockey = the only exception.

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh, I hate sea monkey's too...

Hockey isn't American. There may be games here and teams for that matter, but Canada is really the home of Hockey. How many Americans cared when the season was delayed?

But, Hey, we also have strongman! I don't think there is anything wussy about pulling a semi with your teeth or throwing grand pianos filled with molten lead.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Hockey isn't American..... Canada is really the home of Hockey.

Which, unless I'm mistaken, is in North America. (Sorry Crono)

I agree Hockey and Lacrosse are the only sports worthy to exist. Soccer
should be banned from the planet. If your caught playing soccer and
your a dude you should have your testicles chopped off on a first
offense and on a second offense your penis. then the 3rd your dead. if
your a girl you should have your ovaries ripped out on a first offense.
and on a second you have your vagina sewed up (no anestetics, pure pain
and agony). 3rd offense is death

I would go on a serious rant about how much soccer is gay. but im to lazy.

I have to agree. But "real men" can pull teeth with a semi.

I'm a bit confused... Who, exactly, are you agreeing with? No one else
in this thread likes either hockey or lacrosse (jake said ice hockey),
and the rest of your post was about soccer which hasn't been brought up
yet. Soccer isn't even a north american sport (going by it's popularity
there).

Anyway, I kinda agree with jake. American football and baseball are
really pathetic. Play rugby and cricket instead (respectively) ya
wierdos.

You must be one of the three people in the world that watches hockey or lacrosse, and not one of the 487847874872 that watches football (soccer). :biggrin:

In my post I agreed about Hockey. Then I went on a little soccer and rant.

You don't realize that there is a difference between Hockey and Ice Hockey, do you ?

You guys I are gonna start a flame war over sports? I can see it
already. Who gives a crap which sport is more manly. I don't watch
sports on TV. I enjoy playing them with friends every now and then, not
watching them.

ummmm, I dont belive there is a difference between Hockey and Ice Hockey.
Not in America anyway. If your reffering to Field Hockey or Street
Hockey they have different names such as Field Hockey and Street
Hockey. Hockey is Ice Hockey, most people dont need to put the ice
infton of it to understand what people are talking about.

Hell, is an half-filled auditorium

Soccer f**king owns. Best team sport ever.

Its the perfect mix of strategy, skills, and fittness. Anyone can become good at soccer - you don't have to be 7 foot tall or weigh 350 pounds or be able to run the 100 meter in 10 seconds - the game is versatile and can accomodate a wide variety of playing styles. Plus when you play soccer with people around your skill level the game is like crack, its just so fun.

So in conclusion, Windows98 you are full of crap. (at least in terms of hating soccer).

I'm not that huge on sports for the most part. Playing them is one thing, but watching is just boring.

But, the only sport I've ever seen where I can see an insane amount of skill, precision, team work, and overall technique, is Football (soccer). It's a game where the entire team matters, unlike basketball, where you have one or two people that are insanely good and just score like crazy. You can't do that in Football: You'll get massacred.

It's probably the best structured sport.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Football (football) is also a great team sport...you have to block for
the other player it requires speed and skill......IF you have ever
played for a team you would know....but u guys just watch that damn TV
and think you know what you are talking about.....

---

Sure does, its like "look at my purdy little dance when I scored da goal" :smile:

American football is a pussy sport full of show boating pansies. The
only armour you wear here in Australian football is a mouth guard. I
hate all meat head sports like football, but if I had a choice between
the two it'd be the Australian game I'd watch.

Oh and rugby isn't a Russian sport, its actually British, and a hell of
a lot of countries play it. They don't play it in the US because there
isn't any armor involved to protect their pansy asses.

This gets my vote for worst thread of the month. Seriously, there's no need to just randomly behave like a bunch of unkempt dicks.

Its called being safe u dumb ass jesus christ man........Rugby is for
pussys.....that want to get their bones broken...its a safty
issue...stupid people get no where in life......We should get like
micheal vick and put him up against a rugby player in both agility and
speed even with pads on the football players run faster then rugby
players hint they are more fit!

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

Basketball = netball: As played by schoolgirls the world over.

baseball = rounders: See basketball

Ice hockey = the only exception.

If you do some research you will find that netball was based on
basketball as the man who invented it was asked by the Boston YMCA to
invent a female version.

Baseball and Ice Hockey both rule.

even with pads on the football players run faster then rugby
players hint they are more fit!

Yea keep dreaming, they would probably equal you do have to run in
rugby, it's just that rugby players are built more than football
players people seem to think their CV system sucks which is wrong.

Lol, I love sport rage, particularly fueling the fire :biggrin: .

If you want to see a psycho sport go see the Korean and Chinese
badminton teams go at it next Olympics. Man they move like lightning.
Also they have their own cheer groups in the crowd, who have these fan
type things that they move really fast to make this wierd sound, its
crazy. At least it was at the Sydney Olympics :razz: .

I have a better question. Are sports crap? (every country included). In short, yes.

</a>I played ice hockey for 10 years.

I played baseball for 11 years.

What do I have to show for it? Some 1st place hardware, a bad
shoulder, and s**tty knees. Sports are about as usefull as jogging.
They are both bad on your body.

Favourite sport: Skateboarding

Second favourite: Snowboarding

Third favourite: Hockey (ice)

Favourite other things: Poker and Pool.

Wow Supercobra, talk about being judgemental! What about people with
disabilities that stop them from doing sports? Are they loner nerds
with no life? I have friends that do no sports whatsoever, but they are
still in reasonable shape and are nice people. About 90% of the girls I
know do no sports, but by doing things like walking or going to the gym
its perfectly possible to stay in shape. The sports I do aren't the
sort you can just jump out and do whenever (snowboarding and ice
skating), so often I go a long time without doing any, but I'm far from
lacking a life or friends. Doing sport and being a nerd aren't mutually
exclusive either; its perfectly possible to be both, or neither.

How many Americans cared when the season was delayed?

*raises hand

I cared a whole lot when the NHL was on strike (granted not many
other people do), Ive always been a hockey fan, I try nd get saeson
tickets to the San Jose Sharks (no comment about not winning :razz: ), and
I've playe full contact hockey for 3 years, and I must say its still
Heck-a-fun to play. There is no other sport that is hard hitting as
hockey is, and I dont care what anyone else says, getting knocked down
onto the hard ice by someone moving 30 miles an hour is gonna hurt.

Posting And You

i also was sad :sad: . The NHL ruled. Yet for some reason they made like an
NHL 2006 (or 05, cant remember the years here) but yet there was no NHL

Water polo is a good sport. Dunking is a great cure for bottled up anger.

I have tremendous respect for water polo players. I played for
about 1 and a half years but quit because I couldn't hack it and just
went back to swimming. I'm just not aggressive enough, and my
legs weren't strong enough, and I didn't have a strong shot. It's
a tough sport and is often overlooked.

As for all the negative bashing that's going on in this thread, I think
that's all ridiculous. Every sport that has been mentioned in
this thread thus far requires athleticism, talent, and dedication.

Supercobra, i do not engage in any sports, still im in a excellent shape, by just taking the bike or walking to somewhere. And offcourse i dont not eat ten times a day.

woa calm down, lol not everyone is like that. haven't read any posts since this one but from my behalf I eat good ( i cook most of my own food) and go to the gym every other day when I am at home, hell I would be lucky to have 1 candy bar a week.

I take your point, Rival, but that wasn't my intention at all. What I
said was said tongue-in-cheek, I was hoping to generate a bit of good
natured banter back and forth - which I enjoy - as does Agent Smith it seems.

The trouble with communicating in print is that the tone of a statement
can be mis-interpreted. I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't have
offended anyone if they had heard what I said.

Fatty, You've never played water polo, + the correct Spelling is F?tbol.

Don't mess with keved, he's gustavo!

Also, It does seem a lot like the userd from other countries like to bash America. Just because we only speak one language and we start "international conflicts" doesn't mean that we're all bad. And, you gotta admit, we're pretty damn important...
