Yes, but you get invited to fewer barbeques.

No. FEMA will be along shortly to take you in for reeducation.

No.  FEMA will be along shortly to take you in for reeducation.

You keep talking so loosely about our FEMA reeducation camps and you may well find yourself in one of them.

This is the only warning you will receive.

I don't go out of my way to watch either. I do watch soccer, and to that end, mostly American soccer. I want our country and our leagues to do well. We play the game a lot here, but don't have as rich a tradition of leagues.

No, it's a natural law of the universe. As a kurd, if I don't eat dolma at least once every month I will disintegrate and disappear without a trace. As an American, you will be reincarnated as Trump.

I don't watch football.  Mainly it is because of the owners being crooks and the players acting like retards after every play.

Baseball is the ideal computer backdrop.... I can look up when the announcer says "here's the pitch..." and otherwise go back to doing what I was doing.

If you are a true American you cannot do both. You must pick one or the other! :-)

There is only one type of football; association football. Show me any player who can play football like this guy:

"El Pulga!!"





Basically, he is the only footballer in the world who has players around him all time and it is like flies on shit.

I'm not an American and I love both.

I also don't understand how you can possibly dislike either. They are both awesome sports.
