Yes, and incidently, that also explains why no one in the US cares about sports like basketball and baseball...ByteBandit wrote:Also, Soccer players don't wear helmets and pads.
Well, one can pretty much boil any game down to such a sentence and make it look absurd (except cricket, but that's absurd from the start, so I guess it doesn't really matter).Seems like all they do is kick a ball around.
Well the reason nobody cares about baseball and basketball (which isn't really true) is not because of the games themselves (although I do like football much better than the other two - I think they are more exciting games), but the organizations that run them (MLB and NBA, respectively). The NFL is much more effecient and more importantly has a salary cap that leads to "parity" - as they call it. I find baseball slow and boring, but more than that, with few exceptions, it's always the same teams - the ones with the most money - competing for the top prize.Gaidal Cain wrote:Yes, and incidently, that also explains why no one in the US cares about sports like basketball and baseball...
Too true, and the NBA has reduced Basketball to being not much more than a professional wrestling version of the game with a lot of over priced egos showboating. This in part explains why they get their butts kicked when they play in international tournaments, the referees expect them to play basketball, you who dribble once in a while.Corribus wrote: I find baseball slow and boring, but more than that, with few exceptions, it's always the same teams - the ones with the most money - competing for the top prize.
