Fail
A 0-0 EPL game can be entertaining
A 65-64 hoops game can be painful to watch
But since you seem to be about numbers, then I guess Marathon >>>>>>> basketball
It's been slow as . Blake doesn't have a religion thread to on so he's just trolling for the of it.
BTW, I find it funny how you say soccer is boring when people used to about the slow, methodical pace the Spurs used to run the last ten years yet here we are, you're a Spurs fan. I bet you found the Spurs entertaining yet other people found them boring and in the end, who gives a .
crofl i'm not arguing it will overtake the big three one day, it's you that's trying to argue that soccer is boring with your main argument being it isn't popular in the US, but overwhelming popular around the world
So, is organized compe ion the only source for any given person in any country in the world to enjoy a sport, the only factor that determines if the sport is entertaining? Pick up games, where most people begin in life before joining a team, don't count at all? ...the most common type of game?
k, I've been waiting for someone to explain how or why.
Go for it.
A 65-64 hoops game in the NBA would be among the lowest total scoring games ever.A 65-64 hoops game can be painful to watch
.....and yet would still be more entertaining than the highest scoring soccer match, imo.
that makes no sense.But since you seem to be about numbers, then I guess Marathon >>>>>>> basketball
huge fail, imo
I saw a stupid, ignorant statement about how soccer might overtake basketball in the US someday and responded, but yeah, that's pretty much the gist.
lolBTW,
right, why do people give a what I think about soccer?I find it funny how you say soccer is boring when people used to about the slow, methodical pace the Spurs used to run the last ten years yet here we are, you're a Spurs fan. I bet you found the Spurs entertaining yet other people found them boring and in the end, who gives a .
lolAmerica loves soccer........I just know it.
LMAO oh right...it's not accessible for the masses around the world, except for in the US where millions of kids play pick up games growing up. You dumb er why do you keep thinking in terms of compe ive play?
LMAO oh right the only reason people play sports and deem them enjoyable is exclusively when they think they'll land a scholarship.No school that I know of gives scholarships for touch football. Doubtful they would ever sell tickets to watch it if they did, imo.
The rules aren't exactly simple for football either. In soccer and basketball, you pick up the ball and you pretty much know what to do.
Football, not so much, imo.
BTW, rugby isn't exactly the simplest game either...
That's interesting because for me and my friends in high school, like all public high schools, it was free to play football for the team.Winning payouts aside, it is absolutely true that playing organized high school tackle football costs more than organized professional tennis.
People don't give a because they really don't have either the desire or the means to fund it, imo.
TBH, I hate the fact that Americans, (most notoriously, Texans) spend tax money on building multi-million dollar high school football stadiums.
this in' thread is akin to backing up, getting a good sprint going, putting your head down, and slamming straight into a wall.
Blake is the wall
When will people learn?
Yeah no kidding. That dude will contradict you no matter what for his own amusement and you'll just end up going around in circles with him. He has a ChumpDumper quality about him.
crofl crofl I was responding to that comment originally.
My point about it being popular all over the world but not in the US was more of a simple observation really...
I've given my opinion on it.....what is your opinion as to why soccer is not one of the big 3 or 4 sports in the US when it's the #1 sport in the world?
pretty hard to find a pick up game of full 11 on 11 tackle football.
Where do you go to find such a game?
You can play a good game of tackle football with 6 or 7 on a side.
Tackle football is what is popular to watch.
ESPN will never broadcast flag football league games on Monday nights, you dumber er.
the popularity we are talking about involves watching the game, you dumber er.LMAO oh right the only reason people play sports and deem them enjoyable is exclusively when they think they'll land a scholarship.
and it isn't the #1 sport in the world either.BTW, rugby isn't exactly the simplest game either...
you catch on slow.
just because it didn't cost you anything to play doesn't mean it's free.That's interesting because for me and my friends in high school, like all public high schools, it was free to play football for the team.
you are one dumb er.
I think Blake is a fat redneck
He has to be
Because we football fans like this more than scores.
And no, we don't expect you to understand.
a pick up game of tackle?
pretty rare, tbh.
The opinions given of me after I have given my opinions of soccer have been entertaining as well.
Thanks for sharing.
lol
nothing new.
this is how it has gone for as long as I can remember on messageboards:
WHAT?!?!?! Soccer kicks ass!!
Now my feelings are hurt and I still don't know why soccer kicks so much ass.
The only one using the phrase "dumb " was you, tbh.
No, I wasn't the first or only one, tbqfh
Niiice
lol NFL
lol baseball being a "sport"
lol Blake
This article I read a couple of weeks ago explains it well.

You must have had a boring youth. Between the ages of 10 and 14 I did nothing but play pickup football nearly everyday. Many days it was tackle.
When I hit 14 I found basketball which I played pickup games into my mid 20s on a regular basis but I still occasionally played football too although the older we got the more it trended to touch.
I'll steal a quote from Christopher Hitchens: If you gave blake an enema, you would bury him in a matchbox
