lawrocket 3 #55 June 13, 2006 The main reason is probably the fact that we are no good at some of the skills necessary for it. First on that list is that we lack the skill at collapsing in screaming agony, holding onto what's left of a dangling lower leg after having a shin guard brushed by that of an opposing player. According to the rules, contact, no matter how slight, will result in such a display. We also tend to shun stretchers, except for the following injuries: 1) Franctured femurs; 2) Fractured tibs (we usually wait until a trainer explains the swelling a few days later that we had a broken fibula)' 3) ACL or PCL tears; 4) Dislocated hips; 5) Paralysis/unconsciousness. Anything else, we'll be vertical - perhaps with assistance, but we'll get ourselves off of the "pitch." Now, in soccer, one is expected to get a stretcher to carry the "injured" player to the sideline, where the player may resume walking, running, jumping and kicking on his own within milliseconds. Soccer is also popular in other countries, like Sweden. However, athletes such as Peter Forsberg, who are also not good at feigning agony, choose real sports like ice hockey, where it doesn't matter if he ruptured his spleen against the Kings, he's finishing the game. No peasant is gonna carry him off of the ice on a stretcher. Another requirement of soccer is arbitrary holliganism. We would invite you all to a Raider game, where a rape and a mugging is our way of saying, "Cheerio!" But we don't light stands on fire, throw rocks or otherwise wreak havoc on the surrounding areas. Instead we will stab fucking Charger fans who have it coming, and wash it down with a beer. Why throw rocks at Turks when you can stab mullet-headed Charger fans? You all don't know the half of proper fan thuggery. Finally, we have issues with any dude wearing sateen. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #63 June 13, 2006 Quotei was at Hillsborough in 1989 when Nottingham Forest played Liverpool in the FA Cup semi final... 97 Liverpool fans lost their lives that day... now THATS a proper kicking That's what I mean by "arbitrary." What's the point? So almost a hundred Scousers ended up taking a dirt nap. What's the point? A well-selected mutilation is far more powerful than a large quantity. We Raider fans believe, "Do unto others before they do unto you" and "Quality has a quantity all its own." So you don't hear of killings at Raider games. That Hillsborough episode was senseless (crushing deaths, right?). I believe the crushings occurred as a result of fencing put up to hold hooligans away. That just makes no sense. It's senseless.

jakee 1,571 #72 June 14, 2006 QuoteI can't believe you even went there. Not using your hands - you think this is a good thing?! Lol!! Nice one, However I much prefer Rugby Football (shortened to rugby to avoid the confusion) where you will see far more digital dexterity than in American. I agree that football is a game for overpaid poofty actors, however I must stand up for its right to be called football. All other versions are spinnoffs (rugby, american, aussie rule) and should be known as such. Would anyone seriously like to argue that American involves as much foot to ball connection as football?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
