woodson224blue · 07-05-2007, 02:19 PM

just wondering whether anyone here likes any american sports, like (american) football, basketball, etc.?

Matt the Thrasher · 07-05-2007, 02:43 PM

Baseball is the only American sport I follow.

aisuru · 07-05-2007, 02:47 PM

i quite like baseball, but i can't watch a full game. just goes on too long, with too many ad breaks.

can't be bothered with American Football (rugby for poofs)

goldenHuddlestone · 07-07-2007, 11:46 AM

Only when theres nothing else on

toonmagic9 · 07-14-2007, 05:01 PM

american sports are to corperate so have to many ad breaks it's bad enough watching the wwe let alone any of the real sports

Only if you include Soccer as an American sport.f**** yanks have the cheek to change the name of the glorious game .You don't see us naming Baseball silly boys rounders.

I like basketball but baseball is homo.lol i like sport where you can have creativity

ohioscouser · 09-19-2007, 10:27 PM

Im really good at basketball, especially with my height, 6'5, but to watch it, its sucks.
I only really follow baseball here in america, cleveland indians are my team, but footie is the only way to go.

goldenHuddlestone · 09-20-2007, 02:50 PM

Ill have you know I captained the Hayes School basketball team to the Kent Cup in the 01/02 season

ohioscouser · 09-20-2007, 05:23 PM

Haha, Id love to play basketball against you Brits, Im fairly confident Id own England

joe coops · 09-21-2007, 06:30 PM

Worst sport av ever played basketball we hav 2 play it in PE when the PE teachers cant b assed doing out else.

toonmagic9 · 09-22-2007, 11:28 AM

basketball is a bit boring as all they seem to do is attack and defend alternately no one seems to dominate the matches and attack all the time

goldenHuddlestone · 09-22-2007, 11:48 AM

Its better amateurly to be honest.

ohioscouser · 09-22-2007, 04:00 PM

I like playing basketball, keeps me fit, but watching it is just god awful boring.

Reddevilish · 09-22-2007, 06:28 PM

Hockey's ok, though I don't watch it on tv. Live is best.

goldenHuddlestone · 09-22-2007, 07:19 PM

Ice or regular

ohioscouser · 09-22-2007, 07:37 PM

Ice Hockey is the regular hockey isnt it?

toonmagic9 · 09-22-2007, 08:21 PM

british ice hockey isn't to bad

ohioscouser · 09-22-2007, 08:52 PM

Football has become more popular in the USA over ice hockey, which is really saying something, footie is the most played sport for kids as well, 18 million+ playing

Reddevilish · 09-22-2007, 11:32 PM

In Canada, there IS only Ice hockey.....though I played field hockey in school, and road hockey can start up at any given moment.

ohioscouser · 09-23-2007, 01:44 AM

If only Canada didnt suck then I may respect hockey lawls

toonmagic9 · 09-23-2007, 05:58 PM

i'm suprised football has overtaken one of the four major sports in america didn't think anything would do that.

goldenHuddlestone · 09-23-2007, 11:11 PM

I dont think it has quite yet

Believe me, I dont know anyone who watches or plays hockey, football has overtaken it in this country for sure, there are some hocky crazed cities mostly on the canadian border, but football has overtaken it I believe.

Reddevilish · 09-24-2007, 02:42 AM

Hockey was never a big sport in the US anyway. Baseball and American Football is what they breathe, with a dash of Basketball thrown in for good measure.
There are a few Hockey crazed cities, and that's it, and even there, American Football is bigger.
I've watched alot of MLS and the stands are always half empty.
Football (soccer) is growing bigger with kids and teens playing though.
