BULLSHIT AMERICAN SPORTS

Seriously though, what the fuck is it all about?
You got American Football, a bunch of fags kitted out like Transformers 'n' shit, tight pants and stupid touch down celebrations
and if it was not for a couple of sluts waving pom-poms around no cunt would turn up. You got Baseball, a bunch of gum chewing
over paid pricks spitting all over the place, and yes those tight fucking gay ass pants turn up again. You got Basketball,
ten foot tall stick insects making squeaking noises with their Golf club legs and some ponce in the background playing a fucking
church organ. Last but not least you've got Naswhateverthefuckitscalled Car Racing, a load of gay fat Nazi's driving around in
circles for hours like a bunch of fucking retards. And you Yank fucks say that Football (Soccer - stupid made up American word)
is shit!? You have got be having a fucking laugh. Your sports are just embarrassing, if you disagree then explain otherwise.

Also have you noticed how most of your sports have more than the standard half time break that there is in real sport. I put this
down to the fact that Yanks cannot concentrate on the boring arse display unfolding in front of them and would rather go grab a
cheesburger 'n' shit.

Americans: sports aren't good if they don't have ad breaks every 20 seconds
>> Anonymous
Op does bring up some good points.
I should also add the amount of Xenophobia and the severe homo-fixation that I've noticed while living in the states (Originally from the UK). Americans are some of the most closed minded people I've ever met. When I ask them if they've ever watch Football (soccer to you yanks) the response is that it "Never really made much sense..." or "It can't be better than American Football!".

The fact of the matter is that the United States is afraid of foreigners. If it didn't come from the US, than it's garbage (funny, because all of the jobs are being farmed out elsewhere, and products are coming from Asia).

On a related note to the severe homo-fixation that I've noticed, when I was in high school (came to Philly and started in the 10th grade) my Social Studies teacher (Who was as big as fucking Jabba the Hut) who was also the football coach indirectly called me a faggot for playing "that sissy sport soccer" and even went on to say "I like my football the way it is. Measured in yards!" He didn't believe me that we also use yards in European Football, ugh. Fat fucking retards. Have fun with your pent up homosexual rage and your tightly padded, safe little game of "American Football"

yank football (with touchdowns) = pussy rugby, and why the fuck do you call it football?
baseball - shite
basketball - crap to watch, fun to play, i agree with the stick insect part.

what annoys me is they call it the "world series" when in fact its only the yanks that play, or give a shit about baseball.

Their sports suck badly, but the yanks love it.

I guess it's because they can't compete when it comes to regular sports like football (soccer), rugby, cricket etc....

2.)At least we don't run down the clock for the last 5 minutes of a game to grind out a win (extra points actually mean shit in our leagues), and at least we CAN run for 45 minutes at a time, how many times I see yanks on oxygen tanks after running for 3 minutes... sad really.

NFL- pussy rugby? you take your biggest rugby player and have him get hit (with or without pads) by our biggest NFL player, say, oh shit just about all of them are so fuckin big, I'll just choose Ray Lewis for example. Your rugby fag player will be dead.

MLB - it is called the World Series because the sport is so international, and since the MLB is such a great marketing sport and so diverse with international players everywhere, that it's been called that to draw international attention to be looked at as the ultimate league championship

NBA - looking like a "stick insect" is what scouts look for for basketball players, being they're coordinated enough. the taller you are, the better you are at rebounding and defending the perimeter, and having the wings span to be closer to the rim for scoring.

Britfag here. Soccer actually isn't a fake American word.. We invented it, it's short for Association Football.. So technically speaking when Americans it's Soccer not Football, they are saying it's Football not Football.

Football (Soccer), Cricket, Ice Hockey = win sports. Rugby less win, but win.

Baseball = Rounders = boring to watch fun to play. Basketball would go here as well.

Thing I dislike about American Football the most is the lack of need to ground a ball to get a try/touch down. And ad breaks.

Really? that's the biggest problem with gridiron football?

As near as I can tell, american football is more about speed than endurance (which seems to be the big thing about soccer and rugby) so I don't mind the players a chance to catch their breath. It's more a series of sprints than one long jog. Even the fat O-linesmen can run damn fast, on a good football team.

Ice hokey is the same way. Ice hockey is a game that's almost purely about speed. Players don't usually spend more than 2 minutes on the ice at a given time without going to the bench for water and some rest.

This is only a personal testimony, so I don't speak for anybody else...but the reason I find soccer kinda slow is that I always end up comparing it to ice hockey, which I've played and watched for years.

I'm no expert on soccer, but it's always seemed to me that one can draw some similarities in the strategies and plays used by teams to score goals. Pull the goalie out of position, set up a corner shot, split defensemen, ect.

It's not that soccer players aren't great atheletes or that they're slow, but that everything in soccer is bigger. The feild is so large that plays that happen nearly instantly in ice hockey (i.e., the "one-timer") take three or four seconds to develop in soccer.

Then there's the fact that while a puck can be shot at 100+ kph, soccer shots are a lot slower, and a soccer shot looks like it's floating to me.

So that's my perspective. And I'll agree: anybody who follows baseball and says soccer is boring is a total hypocrite. Can't stand that game.

Baseball has structure. Each time a guy comes up to bat, there's the possibility of something great happening.

Meanwhile, Soccer guys stand around for an hour and twenty minutes, and the instant you get up to go to the bathroom, someone scores a goal. And it ends 1-0, or worse yet, a 0-0 tie. Both of which make soccer and hockey suck cock.

I dont think anyone is claiming Football is the fastest game on earth, especially some leagues, but imo it runs at a good pace. I understand what you mean though, Football is a hugely tactical sport, so it can slow down at times... But in the EPL especially the tempo can increase to match that of pretty much any other team sport. The ball moves too slow? Tell that to Alan Smith, he blocked a shot and the ball hit him so hard it broke both bones in his leg and dislocated his ankle.

High scoring != exciting. Look at what happened when OSU played...well, pretty much any SEC team in the NCAA finals. It was a high scoring game, yes. But not exciting.

You're expousing baseball, while critisizing sports like soccer and hockey because they "stand around?" Half the time in a baseball game, 90% of the team is in the dugout watching a single batter.

In hockey, to be motionless is to be useless.

Yes, it moves quickly by soccer standards, but it goes back to what I was saying early: hockey is about speed, soccer is about endurance (or so it's always seemed to me). A shift in hockey is about a 1.5 minute dead sprint, whereas soccer players have to stay out on the feild the whole game, and don't get rest.

That's a really powerful shot, but compare that with Chris pronger: He got hit with a 1 lb puck in the chest and it literally stopped his heart. If medical staff hadn't been there he could probably have died.

The trap has been a way to slow the game down, but it's easily countered by simple dump-and-chase hockey, which is absolutely about speed. The main problems come when a team refuses to lose possesion of the puck (I'm looking at you, Red Wings) and attempts to skate through four defenders.

And even with trap hockey, once you get into the offensive zone, speed is key if you want to find the holes and the passing lanes.

the cricket ball, because of the rules of cricket (being able to HIT the batsmen) is the most deadly of all items in major sports.

They also did a thing on football tackles vs rugby tackles.

Turns out that with the "Transformers kit" the hitter is more likely to attack at 3 times the strength and speed (measured in pounds of pressure).

I'm American, and I hate American sports.

I pretty much agree with the arguments by the Eurpeans:

1) Football (American) has a stupid name. The sport rarely involves the foot.
2) I can't fucking stand how commercialized it all is. The ads, halftime, all of it.
3) With Football in particular, the constant breaks and timeouts are retarded. the game is made up of four 15-minute quarters. You would think this would result in a 1-hour game, MAYBE 1.5 hours if you accept halftime as a reasonable break and throw in legitimate time-outs, but a typical game lasts like 3 hours.
4) Baseball in general is pretty boring, and I hate how it's called the "World Series" when it's purely an American sport (except for the one stupid Canadian team). The hispanic and Asian players are immigrants playing on American teams. It's purely American sport, not international at all.
5) Football has a lot of pussy penalties. "Roughing"? "Pass interference"? Also, things like "excessive celebration" and "poor sportsmanship" are also penalized. WTF??

Soccer is a thousand times more respectable as a sport than any American bullshit.

Hockey isn't professional wrestling. The fights are real, with real punches with real closed fists. It may seem dramatized because it's allowed, but there's no choreography or whatever. You're an idiot if you believe it is fake.

To clarify the whole fake ice hockey fighting it is fake in that the fights are quite often staged and arranged before hand. Sometimes they are completely spontaneous but most often the fight is arranged to happen at some point in the game. Often full punches are thrown so that part isn't fake, though sometimes they will just put on a show. If you did not know this either you don't take an interest in hockey or are underage.

Britfags still say Yanks? Thought that ended in the 50's.


Basketball is now a world sport.

Baseball is very popular in Canada and Latin America.

Hockey is Canada's national sport.

American Football is popular in Canada.

As you can see, These sports were created in America, but not played only there.

While I agree that most of us are very Xenophobic of other cultures/customs/etc. if you think about it, The only major sport that is not popular in America is Football(soccer). Before you chastise me for not liking Soccer, I have tried to get into it. But it didn't interest me.

All the breaks in Televised games in America are not because of the fans. While is does matter what sport is being played (Baseball for example, where there is downtime between innings), most breaks are for the networks that are showing the games. They have sponsors that want to have ads played, so the sports have adapted to allow this to happen.

Why are you so Xenophobic of our sports anyway? you obviously have never given them a chance. You just say "Football is better" and dismiss them. If you don't like it, fine. At least you gave it a chance.

Stop being a douche bag.

We Euros are way less xenophobic than you may think but it's just a sign of quality of the british Sports like Cricket and Rugby that while still extremely popular troughout the former Empire they begin to grow on every continent, Rugby even in the Americas.
The only american sport that seems to grow here in Germany is Baseball, fine sport imo, but the once moderate American Football fanbase gets smaller while the Rugby fanbase grows.

From what I see, our sports are growing rapidly in each others countries. alot of Eurofags should know that most Amerifags grow up playing soccer and then move on to our more "popular" sports as we age. why? I don't know. I went through it myself. we now have a MLS league. I don't watch it because it doesn't get much cable airtime (which I'm sure if it did america would like it more), but I have noticed a few more expansion teams since it started, and hell, it must be becoming big if they were able to sign Beckham.

Care to explain why they go off to the side and suck oxygen every 5 minutes? Last time I checked that's a sign of muscle fatigue, which can be caused by mal-nourishment. Funny, because I can run for an hour, take tackles and I feel absolutely fine.

You are also aware that a lot of the line backs and whatever the fat players are called in American Football have a shortened life span, because of their unhealthy weight? Don't get me wrong, I've seen soccer players fall dead during a game because of heart defects, but you can't ignore that there's something clearly wrong when your players are having their lifespans shortened significantly.

Only lineman are fat. Everyone else on the field is insanely fit. That's what I find funny, when people bash the NFL for being just a bunch of fat people. Look somewhere other than the O/D-Line. Good luck finding a fat/unathletic WR, QB, LB, HB, etc.

Believe it or not, you say everyone takes 15 seconds breaks in football? Well no shit, because unlike soccer it requires a SHIT TON of effort for EVERY SINGLE PLAY. Keep bashing football, us Americans will continue laughing at your idiocy.

You eurofags obviously don't understand the NFL too well to make comments about it

NFL=tactical - players play certain positions according to size, speed, and athletism. The quarterback and the coach are the captain and the general. the sport is often compared to war with the play calling and defensive/offensive readings, but we won't get into that (don't wanna bring up anything from the past that'll piss off any brits)

Rugby - a bunch of stocky and speedy, brainless players with retard strength and retard endurance, massacring each other. no wonder why you lose wars (dammit I slipped up)

I like soccer so I have no insults about that sport.

I'll give it to rugby players though, that IMO is the toughest physical sport. Too bad you all wear the faggiest uniforms

Soccer can be misleading from what eurofags give it praise about constant running. Yes, I know extreme conditioning is required for the sport.

I thought that at first too. Nobody else in the world gives two shits about americunt "sports" since they are the most unathletic, boring sports the world has ever witnessed and take literally no skill to compete in with perhaps the exception of basketball which still only really requires you be a lanky bastard and americunts it turns out are shit at basketball anyway after a few other countries bothered to start playing it and beat them.

I dont think the reason americunts love shitty boring sports so much is because they are somehow different or stupider then the rest of the world (despite the overwhelming evidence that they are) its just they are probably indoctrinated into it at such an early age that they never realise how bad the games actually are, similar to how they are brainwashed by their education system to be so patriotic.

Eurofags, stop hating on it; I've played Footy, it's really not that fun or exciting tbqh.

actually, NHL players are probably the best conditioned athletes on the planet, aside from distance runners. two-minute shifts? yea, sure, but this isn't the same as playing 2 minutes of ANY other sport on the planet. Skating seems like it's an easy way of getting around to people who haven't played, but believe me when I say that it uses muscles you didn't even know you have, and it's tiring as fuck (especially when the ice is chopped up and it's basically a surface with as much friction as concrete). Add to that the fact that you're constantly stopping and starting in the other direction, needing to accelerate again, and the fact that you're getting knocked on your ass, and two-minute shifts are almost unthinkable at a professional level.

>>45922
You're just retarded. I'm betting you're from Virginia or somewhere in the southern United States. You can't punch unless you're in a fight, and the majority of players in the NHL get in one or two fights a season, which last a minute or two. Also, most NHLers have pretty good dental health these days. There's more finesse and athletic skill involved in hockey than you could ever imagine, since you probably grew up in a town whose only claim to fame was high school football played by every fatass who could run full-speed into another person thinking that it's a sport. There are about 4 positions in football that require athleticism. Face it - the rest of the players are sumo wrestling.
