1320Lichtie Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) That's the purpose. Not the point. What is the point?Right. What's the point of football over here?!?! Eta: I realise Sevco fans won't see it as an entertainment but I personally watch football for entertainment purposes. That's the point of it for me. If I thought football was shite and didn't like watching it I wouldn't. Edited January 19, 2015 by 1320Lichtie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan09 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Again, entertainment is the purpose. To win, is the aim. So, American Football - What is the point? Right. What's the point of football over here?!?! This was my next line of questioning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sorry if you've misunderstood something. What I was asking for was the point in American Football...? I don't know mate. What I'm asking for is the point of football over here though, can you answer that for me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 No. No I can't. So what and why have you been rambling on about the point of American football for the last couple of pages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The comical thing is, anytime someone attempts to start a conversation about fitba on a US Based forum or web-site, within 3 or 4 posts there's a response from someone stating that fitba is boring and they have no interest in talking about it. It isn't enough for them not to be interested, they have to make sure everyone knows they aren't interested. And they have a compulsive need to put down anyone who 'is' interested. It's weird and more than a bit sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 No argument. Just a question: What is the point in American Football? The point is to win the game, by scoring more than your opposition. Or are you looking for a summary of how the game is played? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Phoenix Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) American Football is the only "American" sport that is entertaining to watch. A trip to the dentist holds more appeal than watching Baseball and Basketball. ^^^ Facts. Edited January 19, 2015 by The Phoenix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm guessing the seethe aimed at American Football has emerged from decades of hearing Americans equate a love of soccer with homosexuality. I could be wrong; perhaps we started it. Apart from homophobia, the most common complaint about soccer seems to be the lack of goals, which demonstrates a suspicion of sporting artistry IMO. Very much get the impression that bigger goals coupled with a Wimbledon-style physical long ball game would've seen the sport become more popular with American spectators. Oh, and a lack of draws; nothing induces rage in the States more than a lack of a clear winner. Anyway, as we're doing PTTGOYN - the media's regular "why don't the Americans like football?" articles would be one. They've been banging on about this since USA '94 at least, and who gives a damn? 90% of the world loves football, but the press in the UK act like they do with film and music acts - you're nothing unless you're popular in the States, which is utterly pathetic. The Americans have their own sports; leave them to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 People who say, "I'm a good person!" Sorry, not up to you to decide. I dare say some of the perpetrators of the most inhumane acts in history would still declare themselves to be "good" people. The rest of the world will make that judgement based on your actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
