宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 It's like soccer, but rubbish. That's my only opinion about it. Big men in weird armor humping each other is odd for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ListenToLife Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 IT'S NOT FOOTBALL!!!! DX I see no foot use. And it's an Egg. It's hand-egg. v_v My opinion is it's basically rugby with armour, a smaller pitch, and even less of a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 MMA is the best sport, though if we're going by sports where the point is to take [object x] to the other teams "goal", hockey is the best cuz fistfights are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ignoring the existence of baseball. Tbh, Hockey is only good because of the fights. Football used to be awesome, but it's gotten far to many rules and protections. It's less "Gladiator" and more "Man in protective gear". Baseball hasn't really changed much - which is actually good. I still say hitting a 95mph fastball is one of the hardest things to do in sports. Much less that there are guys that throw 105, which is nothing but a blur to the human eye when thrown at 60 feet 6 inches. In any case, Football is still enjoyable to watch. I just don't like how it's gone from defensive battles of the past to flashy deep TD throws every game. As much as I ADORE Tom Brady (Best QB ever), I'd still rather see more 7 - 3 games and such. More exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again all sports tend to be overhyped. [/quote] Idk. Golf is...golf...idk how you can even hype golf. It's a guy hitting a stationary ball toward a hole. Yay. Football: Running, catching a ball to get to the other side of the field against a field of other men that are paid to hit and tackle you as hard as possible Baseball: 95 mph ball coming at your face. Hit it. Not to mention all the other stuff in the sport. It's easily the most taxing sport in terms of brain usage. Hockey: Hard to stand up on skates, move like them, hit the puck, and literally punch the daylights out of the other team. Basketball: Not gonna lie...there's no difficulty in a bunch of 6'6 + guys trying to get a ball in a hoop that's not too much taller than them. Golf: Stationary ball. Hit. Walk. Hit. Walk. Put. Clap.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I like College Football better than Pro Football. The fans are a lot rowdier and the commentary is usually better. And it's always nice to see who is in the running for that Heisman Trophy. [quote name='Cifer' timestamp='1350415689' post='6045896'] Golf: Stationary ball. Hit. Walk. Hit. Walk. Put. Clap. [/quote] You spelled "putt" wrong. And it's not as simple as that. There's a lot of skill and technicality involved with golf than just whacking the ball. Placing the right amount of fade/draw to bypass obstacles, reading the wind right, having stable control, and having proper geometry/math skills are all vital elements in golf. If it were as simple as you said it was, Tiger Woods would be God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of skill needed, however the basic idea and performance of these skills is much less taxing than any other sport. It's less physically challenging, less mentally challenging (As more often than not, it's not even the golfer selecting the club ect), and much more boring than any other sport.

[/quote] I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. Being a golfer myself, it IS rather physically challenging, because you want to drive the ball as far as possible on your opening drive. No lanky toothpick that has no muscle is going to play golf; it takes a lot of upper body strength and leverage to make that possible. And the factor of it being boring to you is just how differently people handle anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not as big as some of the other sports, mainly because it takes a lot of time and money to host those events.

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm not the biggest fan of football to begin with, but I do have a team I like to support. Too bad it sucks this year. How can the Steelers lose to the Titans? Although, to be fair, I guessed that would happen. Steelers are only good against good teams and then suck against horrible ones.

Seriously, the rules and protections are to keep the players safer. You know how the NFL is being sued...its because of the lack of safety they had. Its either this - More rules and protection or no footbal. Also, Tom Brady isn't the best QB ever. Unitas was, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliminateHRN Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 American football is my favorite sport. During the season, that's how I spend most of my weekends, watching any and every game I can find on TV, occasionally watching a Nascar race or a baseball/basketball game whenever an American football isn't on. But, yeah, American football is awesome. As for who I root for: Atlanta Falcons/Detroit Lions in the NFL and Georgia Bulldogs in the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
