Hard to argue with a response like that...not that I would...I guess I'd go with a statement something a kin to the statement made on a episode of Leaverage last night: I don't like any sport where you can't score on defense...

Wow, 3 posts in 3 years. Better settle down a little bit there...:D

Meanwhile crickets chirped in Grvdgr's thread because

We all love football (soccer) :D

Stormieweather 06-15-2010 12:02 PM

I don't.












tiptoes carefully back out of the thread

:thankyou:.

I love football. The kind where the offense is also required to play defense.

Yeah, I kinda figgered I'd be in the minority...:p:

Nah, football/futbol/soccer is definitely a love/hate sport. Baseball/football have a clear offense/defense and even the casual fan can understand why players do certain things. To a nonfan soccer probably just looks like a bunch of guys running around with no plan or strategy.

I completely understand those who "don't get it". My neighbor is a die hard NASCAR guy and he trys to explain the strategy and tactics to me but my eyes just glaze over. Not only don't I get it, I don't care.

I totally don't get baseball and American football. And their stupid costumes.

I hate baseball. Aside from being boring, the constant spitting and ball(sack) groping grosses me out. It's worse than the sneakers squeaking during basketball. Intolerable.

But I do love me some Fantasy Football. I highly recommend you give it a shot before dismissing american football altogether mon. You can choose you own costume. Helmet anyway...

monster 06-17-2010 08:09 PM

I did do some fantasy football somewhere, once...... it was all rather complex with the draft and shit. I had my guys play nude......

Good for you Monster! But I dislike both forms of football, American and everyone elses. I would watch either if they were played by naked women, however. Hell, I'd probably watch any sport that way.

What's not to get about spandex pants?

The logic that causes some people to think they should wear it.
