I play baketball, but I like watching it. Any team you like?

After about 8 seasons of football I got too bored to want to play anymore, I hate it now, especially how 3 seasons I was forced to play.

I prefer MLG over NFL

I think soccer sucks because the point of the game is to get a ball into a goal. And the only way to get the ball into the goal is to kick it, or head-butt it occasionally. Also all soccer players are pretty much pussies. If they fall down, they act like they broke they're leg or something. Then they have to get taken off the field. After a couple minutes, they're back in the game.

Unlike American football where people get hit all the time, but nobody cries about it. There is also more than one way to score. They also can run plays, where in soccer, you get the ball, you run down the field. Somebody else takes it, and they run to they're goal. And that happens over and over and over.

I don't like sports that involve beating the stuff out of eachother.

It takes more refined reflexes to play soccer than it does to play football. In football it's only running, in soccer it's using your feet to dribble a ball down the field, attempting to do it in a way that does not allow the other team to steal it from you. This makes it so a lesser wound has more effect. Not to mention football players have "armor," so to speak.

Also another reason people in football can withstand more injury is because they have to. Injury is half the game.

They aren't really pussies, they are just intent on winning and so they act hurt to get a card on the other team or w/e the hell they do to soccer players. In American Football there is no penalty for knocking people out or they would fake injury on that too. Basketball is much worse them guys really give you a show.

football.  i play it.
#66.  2nd string linebacker, alternate O-lineman.  Starting kickoff team.  Torrey Pines Falcon.
Football takes more skill than you guys think.  its also very mental with the whole mind/matter thing.  and even though we wear beastly armor, it doesn't mean were afraid of injury.  I scraped my elbows till they bled, bruised my palm, twisted my ankle, and broke my wrist all in one game.

Like juking and spinning, staying on your feet while 250 pound guys trying to tackle you doesn't require skill, strength and anything else? Also that "armor" is barely anything to protect you, you'll still get hit and you can feel it through it.
 Most in the nfl wear no knee pads or thigh pads. You want to say that football is nothing but running, which tells me you have no idea what you're talking about. Just because you hate it doesn't mean you should come into a football topic and say "Aemrican futball is stupid soccer iz bettur!!!!!111"

This, as this guy would know, because he is linebacker it requires him to watch the ball and brown townyze what play they might run. I've played linebacker, you've gotta watch the eyes, the feet, and the way the quarterback and runningback is. Because if you see a back in a loose position, he won't get the ball, if the back is looking at a hole he might be running there.

I prefer soccer over football.

That is football if you live in jolly old England.

[CoolKoopaTroopa]

Injuries are quite bad in basketball, especially when their trying to foul you. One time I got a broken nose from a sharp elbow.

[WRB852]

Should of named it "handball".

Already exists.

And It's very boring.

I disagree. After going to them for band for the first 2 years of high school, I ended up learning the rules and everything, and actually got really into the game.

I dislike sports.

Parents get to competitive.

I said more refined reflexes. Football relies more on moving your whole body, whereas soccer relies more on being able to manipulate a ball with your feet. I don't care what you say, twisting around and dodging is not a thing that takes refined reflexes. (Also if anyone could give me a better term aside from "refined reflexes," that'd be amazing.) I'm not saying it doesn't take skill to play football, I'm saying it takes a different kind of skill that relies more on force planning and speed. Soccer relies more on speed, control of the ball and knowing how to do things with your feet. (Please also realize I am no expert on either sport and this is merely what I believe to be apparent.)

Goddamn these culture debates. You're missing the whole point of organized sports.

forget.
