Nute Gunray Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 People who like football teams other than the Steelers and the Eagles (and Penn State, UTEP, Navy, and ECU in the college world) are infidels. Particularly Browns, Ravens Cowboys, Raiders, Patriots, and Bills fans (and Pitt, Ohio State, Michigan State, Purdue, Minnesota, and Miami).

Being a Ravens (as they used to be the Browns) fan is the only thing that I view as a greater crime than being a Commie. Lousy Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 Why are people queering up my thread with baseball? Its a scientific fact that its the most boring sport on Earth because no one ever gets hit and even when they do, its lousy except that time Nolan Ryan busted that dude in teh face. That was pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 People get hit all the time. With pitches, sliding into home, team vs. team brawls... It's not as good as boxing, but then again, nothing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylilin Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Originally posted by Nute Gunray that time Nolan Ryan busted that dude in teh face. That was pretty sweet. Yeah, I remember that, Ryan plunked Robin Ventura. Ventura charged him and ended up getting a noogie sandwich from Ryan. Then there was the time, I think it was a couple of seasons ago, Chan Ho Park got hit by a pitcher, he gave them a Tae Kwon Do kick upside the head. That was cool. Then there was the grandaddy of all fights when Juan Marichal smacked John Roseboro upside the cranium with a baseball bat. So, hits can be very cool in baseball.

MadPilot Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 You just think that because you've only watched the US teams playing it. I still don't know why you insist on calling it soccer either. It's called Football, because it predominantly involves kicking the ball. Whereas American Football mostly involves carrying and throwing the ball.

If I could call it anything anything I wanted I would call it "fagball" - it has a nice ring to it, no? Incidently, I've never seen an American play soccer.

Kylilin Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I happen to come from a very, very Italian neighborhood in New York City, whenever the World Cup rolls around, it's the same as when the Yankees are in the World Series, every time Italy wins, there is an impromptu parade of cars going up and down the streets. So I happen to enjoy soccer, only when its played on the highest level, as in the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports like Hockey, Baseball and Basketball don't get much airtime on TV in Europe and sports like Football, Cricket and Rugby don't get shown as much in North America.

Nute Gunray Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 We got the word Soccer from the British, so don't blame us. We called Football football because when it was invented, the ball was primarily carried by foot (as opposed to propelled through the air by hand or stick as in baseball). Plus soccer is nothing but a bunch of nancies running around on field acting like they got shot in the face with a missile when someone so much as nudges them the wrong way in an attempt to draw a penalty.

MadPilot Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I don't watch Football as much as I used to, but it's still an okay sport (although I do agree there is a problem with the diving and penalties). Lately I mostly stick to Motorsports like Formula 1 and the World Rally Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarti01 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Well being from the United States, I dont see alot of soccer played, but I do have a comment for our friends abroad. When you actualyl do have two very good soccer teams going at it head to head (and im talkin about the real good teams in like the Premier League and Serie A) then soccer really is a beautiful game through and through. With that being said, the most enjoyable game to watch is football, but the most beautiful game in the states is baseball. I think the whole package; goin to the ballpark, drinking beer, eating hotdogs, watching a close pitcher's duel (or a HR slam feast......whichever you prefer) on a summer day........nothing beats that IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zargon Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 cricket is the gayest gay that ever frekaing gayed. These lame ass indian guys play it in the park across from my girls apartment, the only sadder is the mexican guys that play basketball at the same time. Their 2 hour game ends at like 4-2...... On a warm day on capus here at UIUC, peopplay soccer all over, more than anything else, and their are almost as many IM soccer leagues as flag football, the frat game of choice. Some teams acutally use quarterback bands and call real plays, its ultra pathetic. Personally I quit baseball and football to play soccer year round..........baseball made me too antsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
