I don't enjoy american football because I never got into it and in europe no one plays it, but I don't think it sucks just because I don't like it. Still you have to admit a lot of americans are asking for those critics when they say 'soccer sucks it's a pussy sport for girls'.

I actually attended a game of professional American football some years ago (and no, I don't recall who was playing). Didn't understand a fucking thing that was going on, but I had a helluva good time.
I didn't dislike the game, I just didn't understand it. Fun to watch, though. Boru

I understand this was another 1-0 game. 90 minutes of running around with nothing happening. Fuck it. P.S. - I'm not a fan of American football either, douchebag, but they are making money hand over fist and I can't remember the last time an NFL franchise folded. ( Folding being not the same as moving to another city so they can rip off the taxpayers.)

More teams are being added for professional football than are being added in the NFL. NFL has lost almost 20 teams since professional football took off in America (the 1990s). If you're using the argument that soccer sucks because there are less scores to justify it's low quality? I will say that this WC sucked balls and was mediocre at best, but that doesn't make soccer a bad sport. As a european I'm not like most people who love soccer to death, I actually prefer basketball by far, but still soccer is very enjoyable specially in highly competitive leagues/championships.

I don't like soccer, not because it sucks, but because I never got into it and was not raised to like it. It still takes talent to play. It's actually popular in Germany where the game is based on the NCAA rules. I went to one professional American football game in the 1990s and it was lame. I was offered a ticket to see a game in San Diego a couple years ago for only 15 dollars. I turned it down. The best match for soccer I saw ended with a score of 0-0 and I can most definitely say that quite a lot happened on the field. Min reminds me of those weak sissies who never play sports.

Cause I'm tired of having the media shove it up my ass.
Why on earth would I watch a sport I can't stand? (July 13, 2014 at 7:24 pm)Blackout Wrote:(July 13, 2014 at 7:19 pm)Brian37 Wrote: Why? Simply because you don't like it?
