LOL USA HOCKEY.


seriously, i can't believe this shit actually happened.

Was this to make the puck more visable, or to automatically trigger the goal light when crossing the line?

If the former, yeah that's fucking retarded, if the latter that actually would be a pretty decent idea.

I'm surprised FOX didn't rape Football in the same fashion they did the NHL. I could of sworn one year they were one step away from lowering stadium lights and puttin g a glow-in-the-dark football there.

It was strickly for T.V. to make the puck more visable after Fox conducted a survey of people who don't normally watch hockey. On T.V., there was a blue tint around the puck making watching the game awkward as hell. A slapshot would activate a red-comet tail on the puck so it was like watching a very bad video game. Fox removed the light the next year but fans still didn't tune in.

Hockey is THE most boring sport known the man, it's pathetic how they actually do play-by-play for fights because it's the only remotely entertaining part.

Soccer, Rugby, Cricket, and pretty much every other sport is far more appealing. Fuck you Canadian slack-jawed faggots.

2/10, if you're going to complain about boring, don't tout soccer as action-packed.

LMAO...

Are you serious? Have you ever watched a soccer match? One hundred thousand faggots kicking a ball around for 3 hours and can't even find the net more than twice a game.

Shit is B O R I N G.

Your retarded, Soccer is hockey with a nerf ball where you get kicked out for touching another player, how could you possibly think hockey is more boring.

And you've obviously never seen a cricket game

Right, because what most people really care about are a bunch of niggers running up and down a hard floor court jumping, dunking, and crying like a bunch of bitches whenever someone bumps into them.

Unfortunately that statement isn't sarcastic. Whether or not you like niggerball, the rest of America has a fucking fantastic hard on for the idiot sport.

No, it was visually unappealing. God forbid a black puck on a white surface be hard to see. You're a moron, sit the fuck down.

Seriously... go fuck yourself. Soccer sucks so much fucking ass it's not even fair. Hockey requires more skill, less diving. Rugby wishes it could be American Football... and... Cricket... seriously? I don't even have to talk shit on this sport.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU STUPID YANKEE CUNT.

Rugby wishes it was NFL? In what universe?

NFL: Stops every twenty seconds. Lots and lots of padding. 16,000,000 players on each team. Fuck-all skill. Only one country seriously plays it. Was invented after the Yanks saw rugby and deemed it too dangerous.

Rugby: Big, big men. No padding. Insane skill. A true world game.

No contest, yankee. Now fuck off.

Hey toothless;

"The average wage (for rugby players) is between 150-300 k a year with the highest possibly going on to earn just short of a million a year.

Currently the highest paid player is Matt Giteau earning the above amount of around a 750k - a million."

"The highest paid NFL player in 2007 was DE Dwight Freeney ($30,750,000)

step 1: GIS for "rugby player", marvel at stunning amount of skinny little girlymen
step 2: GIS for "NFL player", start to tear up as you see giant real athletes
step 3: ???
step 4: cry yourself to sleep because a pussy, strung-out-on-estrogen rugby player couldn't beat up an nfl kicker, let alone a real player
step 5: PROFIT

>nfl kicker

In other news, that must be the most lame position in any sport, one of the reasons for the merkin fatball failure.
