Which is better and why? Which is more entertaining?

I have opposable thumbs, and am not afraid to use them.

There is only one football and it is star spangled and awesome.


'Merica.

American football. Soccer is boring to watch.

 

[colddiesel]

95 per cent of the world plays the round ball game called Football. 5 percent plays Rugby and less than 1 per cent plays the American game. These numbers fairly reflect the quality of the different games .

The round ball game is the best, but the American game is ok if you like watching a lot of adverts.

The eruo game is great if you like to nap for 2 hours and wake up to the exact same score of 0-0 as when you fell asleep.

LMAO true

 

[duranman]

Is this a serious question?...

 

[pointless]

i like 'em both.

and a couple of others as well.

Apples and oranges.
Soccer is a beautiful game.
American Football is just so different. Its much more exciting, IMHO. Its excitement is surpassed only by Stanley Cup Playoff hockey. But football is so heavily influenced by coaching. Its pretty amazing. Hours and hours and hours and hours of study, playmaking, film watching, practicing. All to move the ball ten shorts yards. In three tries. Precision violence is how I once described it.

American Football is nothing but a German joke about why Americans don't want to play Real Football (or "sucker", like you call it...)

It's not dirty enough.
It's not loud enough.
It's no real fighting!!
You must not use your hand (yes, you know, it's called "football", but you WANT !!! to use your hand !!)
You don't need any special gear, so you can't fashion yourself as a football player.
The goal is too small, you could miss it.
The rules are too complicated (Who'll ever understand offsides ? Noboby !!)

And especially: Germany could win!!!

 

[spacekowboy]

This douchebag must be serious. Look at all the exclamation points.

 

[Saint Peter]

Both games give you something to watch while waiting for the hockey to start.

I'll go for the kickball game we play at our annual 4th of July party. that's exciting, fast paced, the players drink as they play, and you get to hit your own kids with a rubber ball to get them out.

These others are all completely destroyed by rules, referees who think they should control the pace, and over-priced, over-sexed, overly egotistical stars who are nothing but loud mouthed kids.

I'm still waiting for bowling to come back big.

In American football they actually only play for 15 minutes out of a 2 hr game. The rest is spent standing around waiting for the advertisements to end so they can play again. It fits well with commercials every 5 minutes. Works well for those with cultural ADD.

Real football (soccer) is best played with commercials holding off until the half. TV timeouts in soccer I don't think so.

Now hockey has the violence of football with the continuous ebb and flow of soccer interrupted by limited commercials and punctuated by intermissions between periods.

I read the lack of violence on the field is partly responsible for fan violence in soccer. They don't get to let it out like spectators of bone crunching football or hockey.

I spent three years in England.. tortured by soccer games on tv. Run here! Run there! Run! Run! Every second game, SCOOOORRRE!


While it takes athletic ability, so does running a marathon.. and neither are worth a fuck to watch IMO.

Rugby is better, Australian rules is better than that.. Hell, I watched a bunch of dart tournaments while I was there, which was WAY more exciting.

 

[Luv_2_RP_Guy]

IMHO...

American football is a lazy ass sport for pussies who wear pads. Most Americans quit playing soccer to play football because they were lazy and could not handle running 6 miles in 90 minutes... which is a joke.

Yeah american football is far more entertaining to watch than soccer. However if you are not a lazy asshole and have actually played soccer then soccer can be a little more entertaining to watch because you truely understand the dexterity, skill, and strategy required to actually score a goal.

And yes it is difficult to score. Forbid us to try something challenging.

In the end Americans wont bother with soccer until our USA team is competitive on the world scene. Cause we cant handle being second... Take the Olympics as an example, Every year we go nuts over swimming... what a bore to watch and yet everyone loves it.... because Merica is the best.

which is why we should pay attention to women's soccer. we are pretty good on that front and it's just as fun to watch. hell, if your pervy and into athletic women it's even more fun, but even without that the action on the field is pretty much the same whether it's males or females playing.

and i view soccer in about the same way i view baseball. sure, both can be boring as shit at times, but when either get exciting they are both extremely satisfying to watch.

hell, the same is true for american football, really, but whatever. the point stands. and, hell, even the misses in soccer can be pretty fun to watch.

Yeah, they are. Adrian Peterson is a BIG PUSSY. Beats his kids and says he didn't abuse them, uses the "Oh that's how I was raised," defense.

Adrian Peterson should get a medal. Not a suspension

I got beat... don't hate my dad. I got over it. Was part of growing up. More kids need beatings, I'd say.


Way to cherry pick to further your agenda.

 

[Wildling]

Neither.

Rugby is the only ball sport I've ever liked, playing or watching.

Lazy? Football players get hit on every play plus they run. You must of never played football to say some shit like lazy. You try being on the line and fight with someone on every snap to try and get him off you. And see how winded you become.
