Lol @ this thread

"My favorite sport is better because wah wah wah"

Hockey is the best sport takes more skill, strategy has nuances and is hard to master. Wrestle me

Hockey certainly does not take more skill.

Yeah. That all stemmed from a comment DJ made about the fact/belief that because Americans don't think much of football it can't be that popular. I then went on to explain that basketball, baseball etc are not popular outside the US. Perhaps I should have said AS POPULAR, but surely you know what I meant? Just because one section of the world --- even if it is USA --- sees something as not being their thing does not mean the other 95% of the planet doesn't.

Anyway, we ARE talking about football: check the thread title.

If you would tone down your outrage and go back to the comments leading up to what I said. You would see/realize that I'm just saying the reverse of what Fluffy and Goofle said to prove a point about how they are coming across.

Fluffy's point is that if only one country loves a sport then it must be bad because of it. So that's why I made my statement to just turn around what he was saying. I didn't say it just to boast and be like FUCK YEAH AMERICA!

On another note, I love how the Batlord lobbed this grenade and then legged it to leave us all fighting in the trenches while he laughs at us from the Batcave! :)

Also I saw the outcome of this trollish OP coming that's why I rated it a 4/10 on the first page but I ended up falling into it as well as others so I should rate it higher then because it did it's job.

8/10

My point was against DJ's contention that violence was what made the game good, which is about as stupid a thing I've heard him say. If I misheard or misread then I apologise, but I'm pretty sure that's what he maintained.

Edit: No, pretty sure that's what you get from this comment...

Also, I didn't say violence in the game or by the players is a good thing. I was following up Goofle's point of the fans as he says being "bat **** mental" aka passionate. Those same passionate fans are the ones that end up fighting and causing violence over the sport not that the players fighting are what makes it good. You did misunderstand what I said. I just noticed you even quoted me and still didn't read it correctly. Did you not see that I mentioned Goofle's name in that quote meaning that it was something HE STATED and not an opinion of my own.

Because controlling something with your hands is natural. Controlling something with your feet is not.

Running is natural. Ice skating is not.

That's not sports bro

So? I've played hockey, it's not that hard to learn to skate on ice. I remember the first time I went to an ice rink, after about 20 mins I was fine.

Try kicking a ball from 25 yards out into the goal at pace, controlling it in the air etc.

Yeah dude, holding a 5-6 ft curved piece of wood while standing on ice, balancing on two sharpened metal blades is so much easier than running. Or should I say flopping. Last time I checked there weren't too many people getting their entire front 8 teeth knocked out from being hit with a soccer ball, on the other hand it has happened to several current NHL players who have been hit in the face with a puck and many of them have come back to finish the same game. I see soccer players fall to the ground like newborn deer every 30 seconds in fake pain/agony, but I also see hockey players literally fight each other until their fingers are broken and their faces are bloody yet still find ways to stay on their feet, which consequently are balancing on two pieces of sharpened fucking metal. Quit dreaming. Being able to quickly transition from going 20 miles an hour forward to 20 miles an hour backwards in <30 seconds isn't something any soccer player could do if they tried.
