Football or Football or Futbol or Soccer or..
#34
RE: Football or Football or Futbol or Soccer or..
I wish I liked pointy ball. I'm an American and just feel like I should like it. But there are so. Many. Rules. Plus, I find it funny that more points are scored by running the ball, not kicking it with...well...your foot. I might like it better if a TD were worth only 1 point, but gave the team the privilege of, say, a 9-point goal kick (those are done with...you guessed it...the foot) from 25 yards out. So, 1+9=10. And then maybe provisions for a drop kick in the run of play (without a required TD first) being worth 5 points if through the posts (and maybe even one or two points if it instead hits the endzone.

Also, enough tackling is enough. No pinning down. And only go after who is running the ball.

I also don't like the padding, helmets, or pants that are worn in pointyball. I like NFL jerseys, but I'd rather see them with shorts and no helmet or pads.

Soccer, though, I love. Sounders, Thorns (women), SDSU (m/w). I like to read about the various leagues as well, since some don't get any coverage in the USA.
