Football is the best sport ever conceived, ever!
By football, I mean the sport where you use your FOOT to kick the BALL for the vast majority of the game, hence the name, FOOTBALL.
That is, until the Americans get their hands on it, add in commercial breaks, throwing, daft ball shape, pads, helmets, make it 60 rather than 90 mins but still manage to make it last more than 3 hrs, have 3 teams playing in the same team, etc
i.e. COMPLETELY change the game, yet still call it FOOTBALL, AND have the gall to change the name of the original (and best) to "soccer". What the hell kind of word is "soccer"?
In fact, American football is now going to be called "soccer" by me. It is the bastard, so it can have a bastard name.

The Roman gladiator matches by far. Our Sports are just a pussified version of them. It used to be, the coach of a winning team would be sacrificed after winning a sporting event. Where has this entertainment gone?
As for Nascar, how is that a sport? I know it takes skill to drive fast, but why not embrace this skill and have the "athletes" do somthing other than driving in circles? The same five rednecks win all the time anyway.
