People probably watch NFL games for the collisions because a part of our id loves **** like that. If people wanted to watch a sport with constant action and hard contact (which =/= collision) they'd watch rugby.

 

[Big-Cat]

Then why not watch UFC fights? Oh wait, you have to pay for the big ones and I don't want to deal with armchair fighters.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Football is like war. It's about tactics of the unit rather than physical brutality

That's why there is long brakes with short action.

 

[Big-Cat]

There's strategy in fighting too, but I don't need to stop every 30 second of game time for 10 minutes of lining up.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In fighting you aren't controlling a unit and you only have to worry about 1 person

Edit: Apparently Nintendo is going after Youtube users that use Nintendo content and wants them to put Nintendo advertisements before and after their videos

The appeal of Football is that **** happens. Soccer is beyond boring and nothing happens. I think there was a women's cup where the last game was 0-0 and went into over time. Baseball is also boring. Strike, strike, ball, ball, hit, out, strike, strike, fly ball, out, strike hit. Hit Fly ball. Out. Next batter. Nothing happens and it's never interesting anyway. Somehow, they manage to have over 100 games in a season.

Good God, baseball is boring as watching wallpaper dry.

 

[FlareHabanero]

At least baseball provides some decent junk food.

Sports talk?

Well, after literally a year of research, I've finally found a place close to my city that offers archery lessons. Perhaps once I build more bulk/muscle I'll register, because right now I think I'm too weak to even hold up a bow...haha... :/

Surprisingly, I've played two years of softball and I really don't know how I did it. I remember I had like no power and I could only make it to first base if I'm lucky. Or the other option for me is to freaking bunt the ball haha (I was probably a hinder to my team anyway).

I wanted to take up archery when I was younger but there were no ranges where I lived. I might take up fencing over the summer or next semester for teh lulz (and because sables are cool).

The appeal of Football is that **** happens. Soccer is beyond boring and nothing happens.

Soccer is plenty exciting; people just don't dig it because there are no collisions and because it reqires attention. It also doesn't help that most soccer shown in the US is lower end British sides like Westham and Rangers for some reason.

Watch some good games like the upcoming Champion's League final, Copa Libertadores knockout stage, Mexican league playoffs or this summer's confederations tournament and then form an opinion.

Thus American Football is Fire Emblem.

Someone's made that comparison: http://kotaku.com/5942389/football-is-basically-an-rpg

Most sports are boring in general IMO. They're really only fun for me if I'm either playing or am at a game, screw TV.

Hockey and Soccer are probably my two sports of choice. Baseball's nostalgic I guess. Never really saw the big deal about Football, is probably the sport I yawn the most at. I hate playing Basketball, but watching it's okay.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Soccer is exciting when it's the upper echelon teams going head-to-head.

Curling, Badminton, and Bowling. These are, in all seriousness, the only sports I enjoy.

EDIT: I could get in to fencing, however.

Bowling?!
Bowling is pretty boring IMO. Once you at a bowling ally, its fun for 5min but then it just becomes something that interrupts your conversation with your friends every now and then.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I like archery and fishing, though I don't know if ether would count as a sport. There's not really competitions, more like a hobby of sorts to kill time.

That's why Bowling allys have bars

 

[Opossum]

I'm actually surprised you found the bowling part to be more boring than the curling part. Usually when I tell people that, it's the other way around.

Badminton

My friend's gf talked me into joining the school's badminton club last fall. 1v1s are exhausting but a lot of fun. Badminton really needs more love outside of Asia.

From the UFC matches I've seen, it's mostly just two muscly men hugging it out on the floor. Something you could watch with your lady I guess. And I don't see how you could say STUFF actually happens in football, because it's a few seconds of action for every what, five or more minutes of commercials, commentary, and replays? My brother pointed that out once when he had hurried home from work to catch the end of some big game. He started watching from the beginning since it had been recording, and after fast-forwarding through all the junk, he actually caught up to what was happening live.

Anyway Opossum stole my curling joke, so.

Sounds like something to watch with your lover to start off a wonderful night


Edit: Why do I bother getting into Star Trek Vs Star Wars debates. Star Wars fans are too stubborn to listen

Should we start calling you Merida?

Which is pretty much why I never watch it.

DON'T YOU KNOW MOST FIGHTS END UP ON THE GROUND? WHAT'S A MONKEY GONNA DO WHEN HE'S LYING ON HIS BACK, HUH? MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEARN A THING OR TWO.

If you are, however, the one pinning the other on their back, the correct monkey thing to do would be to eat their face.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Then why don't we watch woman fighting. That sounds a lot more interesting

Scissor kick and rapid kicks to the face to name a few. Generally though, if you're on your back, that's just plain disadvantageous.

They'll damage their pretty faces.

On another topic, I just got to watching the first episode of Attack on Titan. Freaky awesome ****. The faces of those titans are pure nightmare fuel.

 

[Oasis_S]

I want to see a couple women punch you in the cornea.

Or we can watch them on TV; not that I care about UFC.

 

[Big-Cat]

Actually, a girl that can fight turns me on.

 

[Oasis_S]

Actually that was directed at Psycho, since he's an eyeball, hence why it was so hilarious.

You... I dunno... Punch to the cloaca? Whatever pandas have.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'm guessing a woman punching you in the stomach would really get you turned on.

First I'm a monkey. Now I'm a panda? Will I be bio mechanical weapon of mass destruction that will turn everything in pools of Tang next?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If they are in black leather and holding a whip, it's all part of the ride

 

[FlareHabanero]

No, next you'll be a robot pirate chicken that attacks by shooting lemon custard out of your maracas.

 

[FalKoopa]

The Nintendo Direct is at 3 PM GMT?
I'll have plenty of time to watch it.

How about a Monkanda? When you state to others that you're "KumaOso, the Monkanda" people will misunderstand and ask "a monk and a what?" Out of frustration you might say "a monk and a 'BOUT TO KICK YOUR ASS!"

Something like that.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Maybe he's a monk and a racoon. He looks like some kind of brown racoon

Bowling is best sport.

Super Mario Bowling must happen nao.

 

[Big-Cat]

No, we need Super Mario Curling or Super Mario Ulama.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Super Mario Cockroach Racing!

BES GAYME EVAR!!!!

(And yes, that is a real sport).

 

[Big-Cat]

Does Cockroach Racing have human sacrifices? I think not.
