We’re not talking about baseball or gay rugby, sorry, ‘football’.

Amen, esp as its haters love a game where they pat each other’s backsides OR where the QB has his hand on another man’s ass for four hours, and they all were cute little pads.

As opposed to the sport you played, which is for those too pussified to play real rugby.

A friend of mine describes gridiron as, “A sport for all the wimps that don’t have the guts to play real rugby.”

yup. I’m a fan but I’m paying for it. Started at 12 played junior high, HS, 4 years in college, 8 years in the army, then 4 more years for city clubs. Concussions, separated shoulders, broken ankle, broken fingers, bruised ribs, etc...now at age 43 the first 10 minutes of every morning is agony. 6 years of football contributed too...

I bet soccer players aren’t as sore in their old age...

If the NFL worked like the FA, the Raiders would be a Third Division Team by now.

Don’t tell anyone here, but much of what I am posting tonight is just a wind-up.

I actually quite like the NFL/CFL/Arena/Brit-Euro gridiron, oh and the LFL, lol. I hate baseball and neither like or dislike basketball. NASCAR bores me.

I am just dishing out a few retorts at the uber-macho posts here about soccer.

Soccer players are usually crippled with knee problems.

Rugby players are similar to you.

They run the time backwards in football and basketball because it is too hard for the players to do the math in their head and figure out how much time is left...lol

Nothing wrong with that. A soccer game at a local sports bar is a good way to bond with the locals and see what the people are like.

Hmmmn. Little village. Spain. Quiet, hot Sunday afternoon. Very small cafe.

Bullfighting on the TV in the bar!

Do the spectators at soccer matches wear ‘comfortable shoes?’

Indeed.

Yeah, they’re all “third-worlders.”. Like the Brits, the Italians, the Germans, the French, the Spanish, ...

The only thing worse than an idiot is a provincial idiot... with too much time on his hands.
