Sports Blow

Miakal

I don't like sports.

Baseball: Too boring! After you've seen three innings you've seen more than you need to. What's the point? Without time the game seems to drag on endlessly. Not bad with a beer, but nothings bad with a beer.

Football: Too chaotic! There's little strategy involved in any football game. It's merely a bunch of fat and/or big guys running into each other at full blast. You can't see all the players movements and decisions on any given play, so what's the point in it at all? Football just serves the mentally inepts desire for violence which happens to go over well in America.

Hockey: The puck is too small and moves too fast. How are you supposed to actually follow this? It's all over the damned place.

Basketball: The game is just a constant back and forth spell. It could make one dizzy. It tires me. Why have four quarters? Why not have 1 minute? What's the difference when it's all just back and forth anyway? I'd rather see them out there in a fresh minute then after an hours time (or whatever) when they are all tired and doing the same thing they were doing at the start of the game, except slower.

Soccer: See basketball. Pointless game for Europeans and Americans who like to pretend they live in another country.

Boxing: What a bunch of pansies! They can't use their legs. They can't grapple at all. Again, it gets tiring. Who wants to watch this crap?

The only sport worthwhile is Mixed Martial Arts (UFC and Pride mainly). Watching two guys completely break each other down through pure strength, endurance, and skill. It's contains all the drama that other sports should contain along with the non-herd component of individuality. These guys can't rely on someone else, it's just them alone in a field of glory theirs for the taking.

I concur.

Yeah, Basketball and Hockey are too fast for me. Hockey just plain sucks and basketball usually makes me go into a daze. I can tolerate football. There's nothing more exciting than watching a Red Sox game (you'd have to be from Boston to understand).

Ice Hockey is the daddy of sports. I like Baseball too, seriously if you think you got it bad try English sports

Soccer/Football - Bunch of overpaid pansies running around with there socks pulled up who fall to the ground if someone taps their ankles.

Cricket - Arrghhhhhhh, grown men in whites stood for hours and hours and hours on end throwing a cork ball at a batsmen every 5 minutes nd then you miss the end of the game because its called off for bad light.

Horse Racing - WTF is that about??????

Forumla 1 - Its like watching people on the M25 from your own living room. Its good for the first lap and when they crash but apart from that its people getting paid lots of money to drive round in circles. Yawn

Rugby - I like Rugby League, but Rugby Union is pointless, tackle, jump on him, get the ball and kick. Repeat this for eighty minutes. Yawn WHat sucks even more is that this is the only sport GB is any good at.

Boxing - TAKE OFF THE GLOVES YOU FCKING PUSSIES.

Rowing - :eek:

Rowing is a sport in the UK? How very odd...

Football probably takes MORE strategy than any other sport

Hockey is a great game live, but i find it doesnt translate well to tv.

Basketball is a great game, but it sucks now because nobody goes to college and learns how to play the game anymore. The NBA sucks now

Baseball is great, but it's not for everyone.

Soccer, I've never much card for. Probably because it was forced upon me at a young age

Boxing is also a great sport, but is suffering from a serious lack of talent. Most people think of boxing as two guys standing a few feet away from each other and punching, but theres so much more to it than that. Theres a reason they call "the sweet science"

And if you think boxing is a sport for pussies, try to get your hands on any of the Mickey Ward vs Arturo Gatti fights from the past few years. Absolutely incredible

Also, take a look at Muhammed Ali, or try to listen to an interview with Joe Frazier or Evander Holyfield. These guys can barely talk. Imagine how fucked in the head they would be if they had fought all these years without gloves

I am pretty sure it was started there...

Canada kicked royal ass literally back in the day when it was popular and meant high standings if your country won. We came along and ruled the sport for many years. That pissed a lot of people off

Rugby League sucks...thats why Rugby Union is more popular, plus its the better sport anyways...

Rubgy Union > Rugby League

There are very few sports that I can't enjoy in some capacity. I'm generally bored by the hockey regular season but I always love the playoffs.

Isnt there another topic playing the exact same thing.

Wow I can't believe you guys. Some sports are boring to watch, yeah, but you would proably have a totally different view on them if you actually played them. I hated most of those sports untill i actually tried playing them. I hated alot of sports on that list, untill i tried them out, and i have a whole new respect for the talent it takes to play them.

Soccer isnt for pansies. Ever played a game of soccer? or hockey? It's not as easy as it looks. Most players deserve the money they get played, cause they have a level of talent that is unbelievable.

I think you have to actually be an athlete, or play the sports to get alot of them.
