American football, even rugby both union and league are wimps games, Ozzy Rules! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlG3qqtWN...re=related
Personally I don't like professional sports as I do not have the mindset to be a follower, However I like amateur sports and I like the culture around Rugby union, both my kids are players in that sport.

Sorry. I've never met an American who hasn't tried to tell me how much tougher American football is than rugby as soon as I get onto sports before.
You threw me a little.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Apparently, it's not all Bettman's fault, but still. How much money do you fucking need? And they are nuts if they think that the NHL and survive another season-not-played.

I'm afraid it is. The NHLPA offered to play under the old contract while negotiating. Buttman said "no."
Fuck him and his whole family to the 10th generation!

There's some owner egging him on, but I forget his name/town. Bettman totally has the power to make the season go on and he's just losing money by not agreeing. Hockey isn't that popular where I'm from, so I'm not sure my team can last with one more season of zero profits.

Steelers fan, for life. Contractually, it seems, when they are underwhelming as they have thus far been in 2012.
