If you haven't seen any indians at Braves games, why do they all swing axes between outs Pavers?

The demographic is different Paves, just my opinion but I love sitting in a Baseball crowd in virtual silence, top of the ninth, 0-0. Football crowds are built on beer, baseball crowds are builton spectating. Both have their place.

Baseball crowds are built on sunflower seeds and hot dogs. And we call them Native Americans here pal...the dudes with the axes.

My bad, apologies to any native Americans on the board, John Wayne called them Indians but I do realise that was 40-years-ago.

Native "Americans" is a misnomer, they are native Indians.

The "American" part was forced on them. I'm sure they would rather have been left alone and not killed off.

How come they are native Indians if they are in America? You don't call English native Saxons, right?

right on man. but so was "indian"

True, they are "natives" "Indian" may have been forced on them.

America was invented after most natives were eliminated, either by war or disease.
The natives were there & here first.

all you need is a round object and some shoes...in some places you can play without shoes.

I can assure you that most non-Americans who get a first taste of the NFL are bored out of their brains. Five or ten seconds of action, followed by a minute of non-action. And that for three hours?!

MLB? lol.

The most exciting action, in my opinion, is NHL. Nothing comes close to that if you like fast-paced.

The advantage that the NFL has over soccer is that even a game between bad teams can be fun to watch, whereas soccer has to be played at the highest level to be entertaining.

Funny thing is that nobody has a clue about what's really happening on the field in the NFL. People see the end result of a play, but rarely understand all the stuff that went into it.

hard to disagree with horse. Hockey is my fav sport.

American sports are all hype. Baseball? Half the time you spend watching the pitcher rub his forehead, scratch his ass, squeeze the ball. Talk about watching grass grow. Don't get me wrong, I used to be a huge fan. But it's more mystique and culture than athletics and teamwork.

Soccer is a pure sport that at the highest levels exhibits great skill, awareness and of course stamina. If there were ways to hype it up and insert commercials the corporations would make sure you believe it to be the greatest sport.

Some tell me, why does NFL get no fans for TV viewership overseas but soccer is the most watched sport in the world? Why would people want to watch soccer over the NFL? I can understand no other country can afford plastic and foam needed for pads and helmets, but why not watch it on TV when the NFL has been giving global feeds for years?

great post

remember when they brought over an aged pele, to kick start soccer in america

now they bring that metro sexual beckham over , both disasters, he does not even want to stay in america

[pico]

rest of the world are poor. the kids only can afford a soccer ball for the entire village.

how do you expect people making $1 a day buying a football helmet?

[wtf]

the ONLY redeeming quality is soccer for children, they all get to run around and get tired

[shady610]

The simpsons had a nice perspective on soccer.

they showed a game where a team boringly kicked the ball back and forth. and the american announcer was bored calling the game. then they show the spanish announcer and he is screaming like it was the most exciting thing he had ever seen.

[ryanXL977]

soccer is ****ign awesome
it will not surpass any sport int he usa, but it still kicks ass

Baywatch reruns can be found in almost every household around the world.

Hang on - you're citing Baywatch as a reason why America is great? Unreal

Sorry soccer fans, your ‘football’ sucks.

Ever watched rugby? Kind of like NFL but where the men are real men and don't have body armour and there aren't flags 3 times per minute and it's on of the biggest sports in the world (yep, even bigger than NFL).

[pavyracer]

American football is so great no other country wants to play the game.

[ryanXL977]

soccer is hockey

Just when I think you can't get any dumber, you pull out a gem like this.

I've never seen a soccer player score a goal with a stick. Maybe I'm not looking close enough.

[pavyracer]

Ice hockey is like field hockey but on ice. Soccer is the most entertaining sport in the world. Elephants or monkeys can play soccer. That's how easy it is.

[ryanXL977]

i wouldnt agree its the most entertaining, but its still good. its better than nascar and all the other garbage so many americans like

Always trying to pick a fight, rjt721. Aside from the fact that...

1) Soccer is played on grass, hockey is played on ice

2) Soccer uses a spherical leather ball, hockey uses a vulcanized rubber disk

3) Soccer players make contact the ball using their feet, ice hockey players make contact with the puck using a curved stick

4) Soccer has 11 players per side, hockey has 6 per side

...as well as other numerous points I can't be bothered to mention since I'll be here all night, ice hockey and soccer are the same game.

[fiveteamer]

I wonder what Alex P. Keaton would have to say about this thread.

[ryanXL977]

i have that dude on ignore, doesnt matter to me
i love soccer. but it is very very similar to hockey

women in bikinis can play football. i also saw beer bottles play football too.

True. I think that's what ryanxl meant -- other than the 873,267 differences, soccer and hockey are the same thing.

I just came to the conclusion that tennis and baseball are the same. Baseball is tennis without the net in the middle of the court. Both sports use a round ball. Same thing. Amazing.

Soccer is played by failed athletes and clumsy fuks

That's true, nobody outside America can afford a football helmet but they all wish to play and watch it and football would be the most popular sport in other countries if they could afford it. Foreigners yearn and ask for real sports, its sad that they are so poor they can't afford them, they have to resort to soccer, they have to downgrade to soccer, we here on the other hand don't have to we have money and choices, they don't, they'd all hate soccer like we do if they had real sports.

I don't think he meant the gameplay, not logistics. The gameplay of hockey and soccer and the purpose of their game play is similar. Two teams each pass a ball/puck around and have the freedom to run/skate around until they get the ball/puck to the other side and shoot/slapshot the ball/puck into the net. Obviously there are differences like the scale of the field, the # of players, running on grass vs skating on ice....etc, but the point is still the same, to get the ball into the other teams net.

Other countries are not as poor as people think. Just look at these so called poor countries like Iraq. You can't avoid all the documentaries they have on round the clock where Saddam had toilets made of solid gold and I'm pretty sure if you have gold toilets you can afford a few football helmuts. Even look at China we owe them trillions of dollars and they could give a shit about football. Most countries don't see the stupidity of getting your skull crushed on every play and getting concussions is a normal occurence.

If that is the case, then you would of fit right in playing soccer.

[Shark79]

Is this guy serious? I have laughed so hard by his stupidity

[Slim]

Soccer players are the most fit of all the sports. If a D lineman ever had to run like those guys he'd be dead by halftime.

[CashMoney]

I think it comes down to where your from. I have a buddy who is from Mexico is is an absolute soccer fanatic. He can't watch baseball, no matter how hard he tries. His reasoning.....baseball is boring.
