and quit listing "golf" and "racing" as sports you faggots

12/4/2009 12:06:11 AM

cheerleading is not a sport

nascar is not a sport

curling (or whatever that thing sliding on the ice is called) is not a sport

poker is not a sport

flying a model airplane with your redneck friends on the side of the road every saturday is not a sport

12/4/2009 2:04:52 AM

lol how did espn get duped into the poker fad

12/4/2009 2:08:41 AM

^^hahaha alright lets see you and your best friend curl

you're right about one thing. its not a sport because theres only 3 people in the world who can even even do that shit.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

hey look at me, im sweeping the ice with a broom

i get 4 years of practice at mickey d's

12/4/2009 3:40:52 AM

^^^

$$$

Also, the 'E' in ESPN stands of Entertainment. Plus, i'd rather watch poker than soccer.

For that matter I'd rather shit in a bag and stare at it for three hours than watch soccer.

12/4/2009 7:54:31 AM

^you've got an irrational hate for soccer, have fun watching you're own poop in a bag cause soccer will be on tv a lot in 2010 and beyond

12/4/2009 7:18:37 PM

Yeah, it stands for "the EVERYTHING SPORTS"

kind of like "Everything paper" at a paper store

or bbq joint would be "Everything BBQ"

as a way to illustrate how complete their coverage of a thing is

its not "Everything, Sports" like first one then the other

they're just fucking lazy shits because they know gambling ads pays and competitive eating has very little equipment to sell

12/4/2009 7:19:07 PM

I could maybe get used to soccer if i lived in europe, something just seems a little off in the design though, i'd like to see them shortern the field by a lot and make the goals smaller and see what happens

so why did the guy in black get ejected?

2/11/2010 11:44:00 AM

2/11/2010 11:44:55 AM

^^ For fighting. Despite the fact that, upon review, it looks like he was taken down, the ref basically saw two players jostling for a 50/50 ball and then going at it.

the only difference between you and soccer fans is that you dont take the time to toss that bag of shit onto the field before you go murder a player in the parking lot and set him on fire

2/11/2010 11:46:45 AM

hahahaha look at the ref in that video when the fight starts

I really hate that stupid redneck lady screaming off-camera

2/11/2010 1:28:17 PM

hey guys let's end the game on penalty kicks after we could've just done that in the first place and saved the audience the agony of watching soccer for 2 hours

2/11/2010 2:12:27 PM

Honestly, 0-0 games are the most exciting.

2/11/2010 2:13:54 PM

^ahahaha thanks, i needed a good laugh

2/11/2010 2:18:55 PM

Really though, because every time there's an attack, it's a potential for a game-winning score.

2/11/2010 2:20:58 PM

But there also might not be any goals

In which case you watch two 45 minute halves, and some secret number of additional minutes

All to see a 0-0 draw

2/11/2010 2:21:46 PM

Yeah but that's not the point. It's the experience, man.

A game that's 3-0 at the half is boring. You know that it's pretty much over at that point. A 0-0 game could go either way at any moment.

2/11/2010 2:22:41 PM

Some would say a game thats 0-0 going into stoppage play is boring.

2/11/2010 2:23:42 PM

I mean, in terms of most to least exciting, I would rank them as follows:

1. Tie game with goals that goes to PK or golden goal, something like 2-2
2. 0-0 game that goals to PK or golden goal.
3. 4-0 route.

Of course, non-championship games don't go to PKs, but they're still exciting. In the FA cup, Leeds U tied against Tottenham in the 95th minute to force a replay. That was one of the more exciting games I've seen in a long time.

2/11/2010 2:25:51 PM

I could be watching a 0-0 World Cup Final game at 90+ minutes and I wouldn't be excited in the least

Thats because I'm an American, and I've had exposure to much, much better sports, like football and basketball.

Maybe if I grew up in a country where my only form of entertainment was to setup a couple of rocks as a goal and kick a milk carton throughout my favela, things would be different.

2/11/2010 2:29:31 PM

Soccer is way more exciting than baseball. That's not saying much though.

2/11/2010 2:30:54 PM

^^That's because you're accustomed to instant gratification.

[Edited on February 11, 2010 at 2:31 PM. Reason : ]

2/11/2010 2:30:56 PM

Still I think if I grew up in a barrio, I would:

1. get a soccer ball
2. hang a peach basket 10' in the air
3. play basketball

^not exactly...I'm an NC State fan...I'm accustomed to constant disappointment

[Edited on February 11, 2010 at 2:32 PM. Reason : .]

2/11/2010 2:31:29 PM

I mean in terms of the sports you watch.

With basketball there's a "score" every 20-30 seconds.

In soccer you have to wait 30-40 minutes for one point. It makes it much more gratifying.

That's why basketball players don't give a shit when they make a basket most of the time, and soccer players spend a minute running around the field screaming.

2/11/2010 2:34:48 PM

I don't mind close low scoring football games

But football is just so much more entertaining than soccer

2/11/2010 2:36:59 PM

I guess it just takes playing it to have an appreciation for the game.

2/11/2010 2:43:51 PM

Maybe, I only played for like 3-4 years.

I just think its boring to watch.

Especially when compared to other sports like basketball and football and baseball.

2/11/2010 2:45:21 PM

And it's the top of the 8th, three balls, batter o-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................

2/11/2010 3:01:34 PM

only thing i appreciate about soccer is the amazing athleticism it takes to play it



thats it. id rather WATCH athletic people run the boston marathon....im just sayin

I see a lot of similarities between soccer and basketball as far as ball movement goes, especially back when basketball didnt have a shot clock (and most games were lower scoring).

You posess the ball and keep developing the play until someone can make a cut, lose their defender and get into open space. Hopefully someone gets them the ball in that space and then they have a high percentage shot.

Its just a lot bigger field in soccer so you have to be patient.

2/11/2010 3:05:21 PM

^^^,^^^^^

^i agree about pre shot clock era...that shit blew...they need to decrease the college clock from 35 down to 24...or at least to 30

2/11/2010 3:17:58 PM

Make goals in soccer worth 7 points. Hey look a 21-14 game I LOVE THIS SPORT!!!11111
