AND YOU CAN HAVE IT

You're really baiting here. I'm out.

if 99$ of the best players play in the same league its not unreasonable to call them world champs. if your soccer league dont want to, i dont really care lol, thats their choice


lol tons of countries care about basketball. spain and argentina in mroe recent years for instance. and even if nobody did, arent you kinda helping my sid eof the argument?? if nobody else cares, wouldnt it be more reasonable to call us world champs?? i think so

It's a crap sport, that's a fact mate :confused:

Also our fans > yours


Villa Blackburn - full time whistle and on the pitch!.3gp - YouTube

Yours: :o:


Inner Harbor rally pumps up Baltimore Ravens fans - YouTube

Woooooooo :o:

Lol boys arguing about sports. I'd like to see American football guys try getting past Kiwi rugby players without padding. Or female players for that matter, those ladies come in bulk.

Well said Vanilla. New Zealand rugby players :cool:

pads would not be an issue at all and it makes no sens why so many ppl think it would be

Exactly.


This is just like saying take Kiwi rugby players and toss them into some pads and force them to play American football that they don't know so well against American football players and what the lulz happens.

They would get demolished.

Baseball is awesome.

Most of the players in the league aren't even American. There's even a few Japanese ones, I think. Baseball is hug over there.

'american' sports have grown rapidly.

football will likely never catch on elsewhere. there's a canadian league and the nfl has started playin games in london, but i dont think they are increasin the fan base all that much.

baseball however in the last 20 years has been absolutely booming in hispanic countries and has been big in japan as well. japan is like a step down from pro baseball here though, but it still seems to be pretty big. everytime a japanese player comes to the usa there seems to be a lot of fanfare and media attention so it mus tbe a big deal. sidenote - ichiro was absolutely incredible and yu darvish is a beast


basketball has really been growing in europe. places like spain and argentina have a big basketball prescense and every yr the nba draft is half filled with euro players. euro players are soft and usually dont do well, but i hope the game can change over time to allow for more successful euros and foreign players. theres some great young guys in the league right now


sports rule

Canadian football is a bit different than American football though. Different number of downs, bigger ball, and I think some of the rules are different.

theres some slight differences, not much tho. its still basically the same thing. it's a more offesnive friendly game in canada. if nfl played by those rules, every team might score every possession. i think it's to make up for the talent difference between the two leagues. but there have been a couple nfl players who played in canada. cameron wake comes to mind.

There are CFL players who move to tbe NFL too although I don't think it happens often. Doug Flutie was one who started here then moved to the NFL I think. There are a surprising amount of Americans in the league too, who play Canadian football exclusively.

oh i know, cameron wake was an interesting guy. he was a dissapointment in college but an insane athlete. so he went to the cfl, absolutely dominated for 2 years, now is a pro-bowler for miami.

flutie is the guy i know best from the cfl and i assume most of the cfl are guys who were good in college but not good enough for the nfl. they actualyl televised a few cfl games here before the nfl season started and it was cool to watch, very enjoybale

Basketball is played here too, think Luol Deng is British, you know him?

It's usually played by people who want to be American though.

oh yea, deng is awesome. he went to duke for one year and then went to the nba and i thought he would suck but he is a really valuable player. probably gonna get a big payday after this season


part of nba's exansion is, of course, marketing. i think i read a few years back that there was a poll in china and michael jordan was like the 3rd most recognizable name and he hadnt even played in years. jordan was the uprising of marketing for the league

the other part is the success of foreign players


tony parker - france
nowitzki - germany
ginobili - argentina
yao ming - china
etc

I've heard of Ming, but I think that was only because Mayweather made some comments about him which some people thought were racist.

yao ming was one of the greatest things to happen to the nba, ever. he took the nba and made it a fixture in china which is a gigantic market that was previously untapped.

yao was pretty tiny

unfortunately injuries cut his career really short :(

Is that his wife? If so, she probably doesn't need to get pregnant to get stretch marks...

I just clicked on a site on Google and before it loaded I was asked which language I'd prefer. Beside the language names was a country flag and next to English was the Canadian flag. I was amused.

oohhhh **** i just brought it full circle :laughing:

ROFL boo you made me spit water on my laptop screen when I saw this.

are vitamins complete quackery? like, multivitamins.

they are a waste of money even though I do buy them.

They give such a small amount of the vitamins that you need. you might as well get the vitamins that you need through eating different foods but something is better than nothing so if your diet isn't that great you might as well take them.

This is not really spam, just a really creepy observation on how creepy guys can be.

Yesterday, my brother & I took my niece to see "cloudy w/ a chance of meatballs." I swear to you, not only were we one of the few adults that had a kid w/ them, there were a lot, A LOT, of grown men who were there by themselves, that **** creeped me the **** out. One of them tried to play cute at the end of the film & try to start a conversation with my niece, I told him to find someone his own age to talk to.

I mean what is an adult male doing watching a kids film by himself, only the that comes to mind is pervert.

oh fuck off Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is a good ****ing movie and people can go to see it by themselves without having a kid.

ass napkin is a pretty bad troll but i do agree with him here. grown men who like little kid stuff is creepy (see my little pony brony weirdos for reference)

Brony's I get but animated movies **** off with that. Those movies are made for everyone. They include jokes that only adults would get.



Edit: well I fell for that bait easily

do any of you ****ers know how i can get a job

there's a youth job shortage in my city. it's so bad that some kid stabbed another because he got the job he wanted. what do i do? how do i resume? i'm freaking out. i need moneeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

^^^ I'm out of work too :(

I can always teach you how to do my job ;)

Thats be funny

:offtopic: for a sec

So I'm watching " Sleepy Hollow" (great show by the way) the only thing is, the lead female actress Nicole Beharie. I really don't understand her casting she's not leading lady material, she's short, her looks are average & her acting capabilities are ok at best, I just don't get it. This is her:

My friend's name is Shohn (ghetto spelling of Sean), and I think he should change his last name to Freud. Just say it out loud and it will all make sense.

I don't get it???

It sounds like schadenfreude.

No it doesn't...

This is America, where we don't pronounce the "e" at the end of words, and if you don't like it you can go live in Russia.

you asked for it:
