american sports

Playing 9 or 10 rugby is akin to signing your own death warrant

For sure. The scrum half is way to close to the ruck for me to ever do it.

i accept @TheBigIguana points as well put across and encourage others to accept his reasonable view of american exceptionalism.

Not exceptionalism. I just wish we could compete. As is we are absolutely hopeless at any worldwide team sport except basketball and we had an easy 50 year jump on everybody else playing that professionally.

And we even finished 7th or something in that this summer FFS

That's because it was basically the Celtics because like 30 people declined lol

Twin SSD’s now Bungz but nice try

 

[Yank]

I vote yes because seeing most of you talk about them like you have a clue is nauseating

Been to a few NBA games before and it was far more of an entertaining evening than any footie game I’ve been to.

I just cant get into anything where you basically score every time you get the ball

The scores from the weekend:

100-115
107-97
110-109
129-133

Give me a tense 1-0 all day for actual nerves and emotion

I have no knowledge of these sports other than being forced to play Basketball twice at school because the weather outside was deemed TOO BAD FOR RUGBY.

They should be banned along with other not real 'sports' like Tennis, golf and the previously mentioned wool pastime of Rugby

Six nations weekend and you say that?!

I guess that means the pubs will be full of real ale drinking public school survivors with names like 'Jonty' and 'Benjamin' who only drink a couple of times a year and stand in everyones way whilst braying and hawing loudly like angry Tories at a gangbang.
They will be starting fights with lampposts by teatime.

Best avoided.

This I agree with. I hate the upper middle class English rugby fan. Popped collars on crap polo shirts or stupid pink striped shirts tucked into ill fitting jeans, shouting "ruck and maul boys" in plummy acccents. I have lived in Bath for twenty years and it is the most cringe thing. They all come out of the wood work with their casual racism then disappear once beaten.

Working class rugby fans on the other hand, brilliant to be around.

i think it is time to have a simple vote to see if there is consensus to have them on grandoldteam.com. i of course refer to sport as a game like baseball or basketball and not other american pastimes like rampant oil imperialism and wanton slaughter.

Nah, let the baby have his rattle...the 'World Series' ffs.
The only sports they invented are the ones you won't include.

 

[the sniderman]

once we get to 60 with a majority votes the law is activated and we have consensus.

 

[Catfish Blues]

I vote yes because seeing most of you talk about them like you have a clue is nauseating

We feel the same about your views on soccer.
