Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Too fucking right. Hanging's not good enough, etc.

Edit: "but I'm a good person!" :ph34r:

TBF, despite being a Wasp, you are one of the good guys on here.

(All things are relative, mind). ;)
