Hard to argue with a response like that...not that I would...I guess I'd go with a statement something a kin to the statement made on a episode of Leaverage last night: I don't like any sport where you can't score on defense...

Wow, 3 posts in 3 years. Better settle down a little bit there...

Meanwhile crickets chirped in Grvdgr's thread because

We all love football (soccer)

Stormieweather · 06-15-2010, 12:02 PM

tiptoes carefully back out of the thread

I love football. The kind where the offense is also required to play defense.

Yeah, I kinda figgered I'd be in the minority...

Nah, football/futbol/soccer is definitely a love/hate sport. Baseball/football have a clear offense/defense and even the casual fan can understand why players do certain things. To a nonfan soccer probably just looks like a bunch of guys running around with no plan or strategy.

I completely understand those who "don't get it". My neighbor is a die hard NASCAR guy and he trys to explain the strategy and tactics to me but my eyes just glaze over. Not only don't I get it, I don't care.

monster · 06-17-2010, 03:42 PM

I totally don't get baseball and American football. And their stupid costumes.

jinx · 06-17-2010, 07:58 PM

I hate baseball. Aside from being boring, the constant spitting and ball(sack) groping grosses me out. It's worse than the sneakers squeaking during basketball. Intolerable.

But I do love me some Fantasy Football. I highly recommend you give it a shot before dismissing american football altogether mon. You can choose you own costume. Helmet anyway...

monster · 06-17-2010, 08:09 PM

I did do some fantasy football somewhere, once...... it was all rather complex with the draft and shit. I had my guys play nude......

spudcon · 06-19-2010, 11:28 AM

Good for you Monster! But I dislike both forms of football, American and everyone elses. I would watch either if they were played by naked women, however. Hell, I'd probably watch any sport that way.
