Amateur: Which "sports" have different rules based upon where you play?

[140]

Baseball is better, it's a game of skill. It's ok if you don't like the game because it's more of a smart person sport (Not a surprise Japanese loves the game tbh). Soccer is for stupid people, it's way too simple made to entertain people in third world countries.

Yeah, except for the fact that it's also the biggest sport in Europe

The NFL is only still popular because Goodell has turned it into the Call of Duty/Nickelback/Marvel superhero movies of sports. It's less a sport nowadays and more a generic Big Event that is watered down for the lowest common denominator. In other words, they're taking the floptrot approach now.

, I only still watch the because of tradition and inertia. As a product, though, it pales in comparison to college football now - let alone the NBA, NHL or MLB.

and football isn't? All sports require skill imo, I find baseball very boring to watch but it requires some skill I guess, I want to see you dribble a ball, you would probably look all uncoordinated.

You ever heard of this thing called NFL redzone?

Why should I have to pay extra for something to get away from the NFL's excessive commercialization? I don't even care that Redzone is only 5.00 per month. It's the principal of the thing. Also, Redzone won't alleviate the problem during the playoffs.

I'll leave soccer out of the comparison, since I never played at an organized level (will also leave out ice hockey), but baseball is by far the hardest sport to learn skillset wise compared to basketball and football.

See how the average guy off the street can't even CATCH a major league fastball.

The players also weren't as big back then. They simply can't let them launch and hit like they used to because forget about concussions, we're talking about life and death. Also, those who used to brag about how hard they played in the 70's, 80's and 90's are some of the biggest whiners and lawsuiters of the NFL these days over withheld information. o? You played football, arguably the most dangerous sport around and you also played it all out. The NFL shouldn't have to tell you to be careful.

As for soccer, they really should allow poaching or relax the offsides rule. There basically is no such thing as a fast break in soccer and it shows given the final scores. As if it isn't hard enough to score using your feet to move the ball around defenders.

I'm okay with the ban on launching head first. It's the excessive QB protection I'm against. Defenders have to now basically be walking on eggs s every time they break into the backfield to attempt a sack, because if the hit is a fraction of a second late, *flag* roughing the passer.

I didn't think about how hard t is to catch a fastball, and going by the video it seems hard imo
