Is it ok to like different sports?

We all know that there are a lot of sports out there to like. For example, members like me and Walshy like football (soccer for Americans) and some other members like American football or basketball. However, statistically, more people like football (soccer) than American football. Is it still okay for people to like American football, or should they switch to football (soccer)? I'm really torn on this issue, what do you guys think?

Bardock42
I once liked a different sport, but I don't think it's okay.

riv6672
I like curling. confused

Nuke Nixon
I like playing football but I like watching handegg a lot more.

Surtur
Why wouldn't it be okay to like different sports? I did a bit of a football, but mostly baseball and basketball. A bit of hockey I guess for a short period. Later on it was boxing.

Though I find watching sports is boring unless you are actually there attending the game.

Handegg?

Nuke Nixon
Football (soccer) is a ball you kick with your foot and try not to touch with your hands.

Handegg (American football) is a sort of egg looking ball that you mostly throw and carry in your hands.

walshy
Why do you bump these threads

Surtur
Soccer is so boring like, like really boring. Yet these gangs get all riled up over it, Elijah Wood nearly died for these people.

Nuke Nixon
Not to mention they flop all over the place like they're getting killed without anyone even touching them. Morons.

Surtur
I watched this one Rodney Dangerfield movie where he was a coach of a soccer team, it was called Ladybugs. Even he couldn't salvage that sport.

walshy
How dare you uhuh real football is the most watched sport in the world and with good reason

Stick to your commercial centred sports if that's your thing

Surtur
Wouldn't you welcome a commercial every now and then? To break up the monotony of the boring soccer matches?

I bet halfway through a game you're just dying to see the Geico gecko. Or even just like a Doctor Who commercial or something.

Better not Walshy, could be an IED he found in country!

riv6672
Never!

like any sport you wish to watch or engage in

riv6672
You are far too lenient...stick out tongue

Nuke Nixon
I've seen Aussie rugby, it's like having an entire team of Asterix and Obelix.

riv6672
Okay, you're just making up words now!

Nuke Nixon
The idea that you don't know Asterix & Obelisk is disturbing.

Unless you're trolling, then ok.

Every time I see this thread it makes no sense, why wouldn't it be okay? It's like asking if it's okay to like different movies or genres of music.

Holy DAMN! I can read French! eek!

But really, that was pretty good...thumb up

Nuke Nixon
I've only read the english translation and if it's that funny in our language imagine how much Frenchies larf their derrieres off.

riv6672
They have an odd sense of humor those french.

Mimes.

Nuke Nixon
I dunno, I've seen some funny ass mimes, guess the really good ones are few and far between.

Like peanuts and salami. THAT will get the job done. sick

Nuke Nixon
There are many lunch meats I enjoy but I have never really liked salami for some reason, I'll eat it on an Italian Hero, but I won't go out of my way to put it on my sandwich.

riv6672
Its not one of my faves either.
I definitely outgrew it, and bologna.

Nuke Nixon
ugh I cannot tell you how many bologna, cheese & mayo sandwiches I threw down my food hole over the years.

riv6672
Same here.
Those and 'wish' sandwiches.

Nuke Nixon
I wish I had this sandwich

riv6672
Oh SNAP, that looks good.

I'd arm wrestle you for it.

Nuke Nixon
Well fck there goes that sandwich. I ain't got spaghetti arms but it's been a while since I been lifting.

riv6672
I would always con folks by saying we could arm wrestle left handed. I'm actually better leftie.

Nuke Nixon
Big money hustla!

They made a tv series outta this movie

Nuke Nixon
Not sure if want.

https://i.giphy.com/l0Hlx9Fu6tCRyE0jC.gif

riv6672
It starred Bill Paxton, who passed away shortly after wrapping up S1.

Nuke Nixon
Hm that shouldn't be too bad. I'll have to check that out.

riv6672
It wasnt gonna get renewed (ratings were hella low), but i'm a Paxton fan. It sucked that he passed away so suddenly.

Nuke Nixon
It was a brutal year for famous deaths.

riv6672
Of **** yes. Especislly December, it seemed.

I'm surprised Betty White is still kicking.
She's getting old though. I saw her on 'Bones' and 'Young & Hungry' within the last month or so, and shile she still seems sharp, she's only ever filmed sitting down, something that i actually started noticing in 'Hot in Cleveland'.

Nuke Nixon
I've never seen that show, I may have mentally blocked out TV Land.

riv6672
It was better than i expected. Good cast chemistry.
Hot into it after they hada marathon of the first couple seasons.

Nuke Nixon
I watched all of the Golden Girls (my Grandma's favorite show when she was alive) I don't have to watch any more old chick shows ever again.

riv6672
Well they arent really old. I'd do all of them...Betty if i was careful not to break her.

I have never liked Bale. But he really nailed that part!

Nuke Nixon
It made a lot of good reactions gifs, but the movie was kind of dumb.

The end was too vague for me.

riv6672
It was decent flick, his performance itself was great.
Never much liked him in anything else.

Nuke Nixon
Not even Reign of Fire? O.o

riv6672
matthew mcconaughey, baby!!! He totes made that flick.

Nuke Nixon
Yeah he did

riv6672
The dragons looked kick ass, too. I wish theyd have shown them more.

Nuke Nixon
That had an interesting concept, room for a sequel where the humans have been waiting for the return of the dragons, they have all kinds of super dragon killing weapons now, but surprise... dragons aren't the only ones back... how about...Giants!

riv6672
That woulda been ****ed up!!! big grin

I liked the whole 'killed off the dinosaurs' history to them. Lots to work with there.

Nuke Nixon
Without Matthew McConaughey I wouldn't be as interested, and Bale doesn't do sequels anymore.

riv6672
After his Nolan Batman movies i can only say....THANK YOU, CHRISTAIN BALE! big grin

I'm watching Celebrity Ninja Warrior tonight!

....

Its a sport!

Nuke Nixon
I hear Stephen Amell kicked the Ninja course in the butt, guy is totally legit superhero.

riv6672
Just watched it an hour ago.
Everyone dud well & had fun.
Amell completed the course them did the salmon ladder (his signature Arrow shirtless go to). Glad he made it or he never woulda lived it down!

Nuke Nixon
He's make a good pro wrestler, but should stick to the day job, I'd hate to lose Arrow.

riv6672
He'd be King of the Cruiserweights!

Holy frack the Man that Gravity forgot is ripped to pieces!

riv6672
Ah but so is my man crush, Amell!

Nuke Nixon
WWE crusierweights don't seem like crusierweights, I think WCW did it slightly better and the Mexican Wrestling Organizations were the best.

riv6672
Theyre athletic as hell though, the WWE guys.

Nuke Nixon
They need to let them fly around and do all the flippy sht they're supposed to do.

riv6672
Some do, but mostly WWE nixes that, yeah. I'm not too hype on the fivision as a whole. It has some bright spots, but few and far....sad

Do you play any sports on the regular, btw? I may have asked before.

Nuke Nixon
I'll shoot hoops but kind of halfassery, like while chatting.

Tennis when the mood strikes.

I'm old now all the fun games require a week of recovery time.

riv6672
I hear that. I can lift & run like a beast, but a game of touch football and i'm all 'eeeh...heeehhhh...aaaahhh...' The next day! no

Nuke Nixon
Just play golf, you get a little fresh air, you get a little low impact exercise, you get cold drinks at the bar, it's all good.

riv6672
I've tried golfing...i Suuuuuuuccccckkkkk!!! mad

I like going to the range though...2guns

Nuke Nixon
Ah yes, shooting guns... like you with golf I'm not so good. Bad depth perception, I hit everything but the target.

riv6672
There are targets?!?

Nuke Nixon
That would solve the problem.

riv6672
Dammit all this time i've been doing it the hard way!

Nuke Nixon
The Yosemite Sam Method, fire all your guns all around you, chances are something is gonna get hit.

riv6672
Hopefully a fur bearin' critter!

Nuke Nixon
The only guns I like shooting are impossible ones in video games like Plasma Cannons or the good old BFG-9000

riv6672
I've had occasion to shoot ppl with a version these:

https://www.chiefsupply.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/t/dt6325.jpg

Its kinda like a video game!
Lord knows i shouldnt have enjoyed it as much as i did.

Nuke Nixon
That looks like it would sting a bit.

riv6672
I always tried and hit them in the ass!

Nuke Nixon
That's much better than in the balls.

riv6672
They need to HAVE balls to shoot them...stick out tongue

Nuke Nixon
Hey yo, shooting at chicks ain't cool man.

riv6672
Wouldnt NOT shooting at them make me sexist, though? confused

It's personal opinion. Why couldn't you like one or both? I'm from Texas so the main sport is American Football, but I do enjoy the occasional soccer game. I also enjoy watching Basketball and Hockey (although admittedly, I know far too little about Hockey).

Nuke Nixon
What about Pro Wrestling?

socool8520
I have enjoyed the collegiate level matches. It takes physical strength and skill so it gets my respect.

Wait, were you talking about WWE type wrestling? Nah, that's not for me.

Nuke Nixon
Either kind, I wrestled a bit in high school but wasn't very good.

socool8520
I wasn't good enough either. I had decent understanding of leverage, but I wasn't nearly strong enough to gain the upper hand.

riv6672

Pro wrestling is way more fun to watch than collegiate wrestling.

Theyre 2 entirely different things though. Pro wrestling is scripted, its like the difference between watching an action movie and a documentary.

socool8520
Anybody watching the NBA Finals?

riv6672
Nah, that's not for me.

Nuke Nixon
Same, I like playing B-ball but watching it after Jordan retired... nah.

Fair enough. lol It gives me something to watch when Football season is over. (American Football)

Meh...There are still good players. Unfortunately, almost all of them are on 3 or 4 teams. lol

riv6672
My spouse is into soccer, so i watch it be default.
The games can be pretty good occasionally.

socool8520
I enjoy the world cup games although the American male team still sucks. The women hold it down though.

riv6672
Yeah they do. Easy on the eyes works too.

socool8520
Yeah, it definitely doesn't hurt. lol I saw a lot more of Hope Solo than I wanted to though.

riv6672
I would say she's still quite attractive. yes

Some of the ladies on Team Ninja Warrior are really pretty.
I also actually like the side by side competition aspect.
I'd gotten out of watching the regular show, but watching two guys race each other through the course makes it way more fun!

Nuke Nixon
Used to be some hot tennis players, haven't watched in some time though.

riv6672
Yeah, none come to mind right now.
Love those itty bitty skirts!
