What is your favorite sport? Do you like any sport at all?
Do you like playing it, or just watching it? Mine's football. And I don't mean American football, I'm thinking real football (soccer to you yanks  )-------------------- ''Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.''

But in Football you don't carry a big wooden stick.
Still, I don't like sport that involves padding. American Football (and I can say this because I've played it) is wussy compared to Rugby and Aussie Rules. You don't NEED all the pads and crap - it's like walking around as a tank. Basically the line of scrimmage is exactly the same as a contested scrum, and a catch can be the same as...well, a catch. American Football is like watered down Rugby. And whilst I'm sure some people like wussy games (nothing wrong with it, in fact I'm not so much one on psychosports myself) I just get peeved when people go on about how tough it is, as though it's some merit badge to be a lobotomised and overwieght man that only plays defence or offence and feels the need to wear a helmet and pads. Also what is it with American sports and ad breaks? A 60 minute game lasts 5 hours once you've had your bursts of advertisement whilst they...I don't know, walk around doing nothing between plays. It's not a really good spectator sport - it's like playing a PC game that pauses itself every five seconds. -------------------- I hate the mice from Bagpuss. Never trust rodents with DIY skills.

That's where you're terribly wrong. American Football Compare to..... Rugby Notice the first tackle. That's a STANDARD tackle in American football; something that repeats itself almost every single play. Yet the announcer calls it the biggest hit of the season. Hands down, American Football is much more violent than rugby. -------------------- ''Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.''
