[QUOTE=FinalHunter;24576949]I'll squeeze my way into your closed arms then.
I honestly don't give a shit.
Half the people on Facepunch revolve around video games, I'm sure there are plenty of members that find sports redundant as well.
And I play real life poker also.[/QUOTE]
Yes and most of the people on Facepunch that revolve around video games have the good sense to keep out of a thread in which they are not welcomed in or if the thread does not entirely appeal to their tastes, like the Furry Section. I don't barge in and saying that Furry is evil and how hetero, human sex is better.
The whole football america and football soccer is like two songs with the same name.
Get over it, there is nothing we can do.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;24576609]I don't understand why unintelligent men sit on a couch, drink beer, and yell as men run back and forth with a ball and jump on each other.
What is the point of that exactly?[/QUOTE]
I don't think this is an accurate description of me.

[QUOTE=FinalHunter;24576759]Tell me about being easily amused...[/QUOTE]
Neither is this.
[QUOTE=Ali Legend;24576109]Rugy is basically non-pussy American football (i.e. no body armour etc.).[/QUOTE]
:britain:
Someone's sad because they can't play American tackle football. If anything, armor makes hits harder, while preventing you from getting brain damage associated with playing a heavy contact sport without the proper protection.
"for you Euros" is a pretty ignorant statement considering "Football" refers to soccer pretty much EVERYWHERE else in the world besides USA
[QUOTE=bazyboy;24575795]Look, the majority of facepunch are europeans. Please call it Rugby from now on.[/QUOTE]
Just because most of them are Europeans doesnt mean anything.

Urm, isnt that pretty much the [I]same[/I] thing you would do?
I dont mean you as a person, just the people who watch "Football"
[QUOTE=mysteryman;24575868]Look, big deal.
If it's called football in the states it's going to be called football in a thread about it.
While i admit it's a stupid name, that's it's name.[/QUOTE]
It's actually Amerika but cool stfu
[QUOTE=Dysplasia;24576442]you guys are gonna get fucked bro[/QUOTE]

Well I do not understand why the rest of the world sit on a couch, drink beer, and yell as men run back and fourth kicking a ball across the field for well over an hour.
Hopin the Vikings win the super bowl this year.. and no, i'm not jumping on the bandwagon since I'm from there. Last year suprised me, so I'm expecting a bit more from them this year then I have since normally they're not that great.
I'm happy as long as one of the following win's the superbowl:
Colts
Vikings
Texans (ha)
In no particular order.
Gridiron players are sexy beasts, way more attractive than soccer players.
That is all.

Say what?
Go Chiefs!
Actually I don't care about spectator sports at all I just live here so I feel obligated to support the team for some stupid reason.

That's it. You just lost the privilege of being a man.
Please turn in your balls immediately.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;24576517]Haha, notice how the rest 50% is european countries.[/QUOTE]

Couldn't resist.
But yeah, I don't really know why people care about what they call "Football."
It's pointless. It hasn't caused any trouble other than a bunch of morons rambling on the internet.
How 'bout dem Cowboys? Yeah..they are not looking to good this year..

"American Football" was invented by the British, The only sport US has invented is Basketball, and it was a British guy that took the bottom out of the basket in WW2 xD.

In your obviously credible source it says:
[B]Sport[/B] - [URL="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Baseball"]Baseball[/URL], [URL="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Golf"]golf[/URL], [URL="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Football"]football[/URL] ([B]yes they invented American Football[/B] but not the sport of Football that makes most Americans want to gouge their eyes out).
And uncyclopedia is about as good of a source as my ass.

Why do guys sit around a small table giving away money to one guy and betting on pictures printed on small cards?
That sounds dumb! :downs:
I hate both kinds of footbal. Rugby is where it's at. I played it when I was 10 till like 14. Then I got bored of having to wake up at 7am every sunday after having to get up at 6 for the whole week.
Basketball is the master sport. :smug:
[editline]11:59AM[/editline]
Then again all sports suck ass.
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;24575238]As a brit, I admit I find American Football more interesting to watch. But Rugby players are a lot more polite than american footballers generally. They call the referee 'sir' and apologize if they foul.[/QUOTE]
Used to, now there cheating bastards. Footballers (soccer players for the Americans) are much worse though.
[editline]10:48AM[/editline]
Also rugby and American football are different sports.

oh I'm not saying they are the same, but in a thread like this, it's inevitable that there will comparison (as already shown by some eejits) so I just wanted to put down my two cents about it before the shitstorm
