Killing people is fun.
Killing people while throwing a pig-skin around is funner.

*throws pig-skin, pulls, and jacks The ancient Republic so hard snot bubbles shoot out of his nose, and with the satifactory sound of his pancaking joy swells up in my chest*

My work here is done.

Didn't you start the thread denoucing its place in the category of "Sport"?

( Yah, I know that needs rephrasing.. to bad)

*picks up your limp body, because while I jacked you up, I managed to burst one of your kidney's and tie a knot in your spine, and throws you about the field while calling you derogatory terms like, "Pansy!" and "Lawn farie!"*

Violence entertains. The ancient republics knew that!

just be careful it doesn't turn into flamebait or trolling. that's all.

but then why limit it to just american Football and hockey... there must be other sports out there that seem just as violent...

like soccer fans?

It's just silly boys rugby. If your gonna play such a game, be a man and throw down all that protection. Don't need helmits and body pads. Just a few beers and a crowbar:mp5:

Baseball? It's just silly boys rounders LMAO!

then again, if you really think about it, to me, Cricket is like multiplayer Golf with a bit of Baseball mixed in.

strange.... but that is my point of view baised on not knowing what the game is.

to those who don't know American Football, it does look violent... and that most of the hockey games I've seen includes at least a couple of fights... (i don't watch hockey that much either) it does look violent.

:) Well, as I see it; When you don't want to have your arguement routed, its the easy road out. On a forum where people are fairly good at routing anything/everything with a smile or :upyours: (or both) It was kind of... bound to pop up?

I hate watching American football. Its so boring. I mean all the hoopla and the ball moves like 3 feet. Its silly. All the money it generates is unbelievable. And the commentators....they have to explain each move and try to make it sound so technical. "Barkowski runs to the left, then the right, he falls on his face and gets a 1st down.....blah blah"

Boring I say.

*YAWN*

Another one, eh? I'll assume your European, because only a European would waste his/her time writing something about an American sport that Americans have heard 50 million times before.

I'll spell it out for you...

We don't care whether or not you like American Football.

We don't care how much you bring up your arguments regarding American Football, we like the sport, and that's not going to change.

No matter how often you bring up how much Europeans dislike American Football, it will never change the simple fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans love football...and HATE soccer.

Have a good one. ;)

Running the ball seems to be the most continously-stupid thread within football{AM} that I've noticed. It does Nothing. 1-3 - maybe 5 if your lucky - yards.

And the commentators....they have to explain each move and try to make it sound so technical.


While sounding like a drunk that just got his nose cracked. I can't stand the commentators.

So dont watch it.

You have the right because your talking on a largely free-speached forum. Not because of age, gender, race or anything else; damnit.

Gah, yeah - smileys help. Football wasn't my problem. It's people bastardizing the reason they have rights by saying tripe like " I'm a christian " or " I'm a woman" " I'm a man"

What does that have to do with what rights/preferences you have. Is saying "I'm a christian" in a condescending manner pissing on what you use to elevate yourself within your mind to a moral high ground?

:D

Actually, the point of the game is to get the strangely shaped ball to the other end of the field, either by carrying it there, throwing it there, or kicking it between two long poles.

Getting to beat the crap out of people is just a nice bonus. :D

Well, I didn't go to either University, and generally cheer for them both, but when they play each other then I gotta admit I'm a Wolverine Fan. I'm an odd ball because I like Ohio State, unless they play UofM.

You must be from the mid-west or a big college football fan.
