Re: sports you just can't get into

while saying golf is?

in baseball, you at least compete against other people directly with hitting, pitching and feilding. golf, you play against an architect. and the physical part amounts to swinging a club against a stationary ball.

apollo, what is the version of soccer being played in some latin american nations where its played indoors with walls and a smaller feild of play? THATS NUTS. i saw it in brazil 2 years ago, and i actually loved it. so much faster than normal shitty soccer, and they were passing it off the walls to each other.

its called "futbol de salon" and it gets played indoors in a basketball like court, theres others called "futbol 7 wich has no walls its a small court with 7 players and theres, "futbol rapido" which is also played indoors and there is walls but i guess you are thinking about the first one.

i don't know how to translate that to english, yeah its fun to play but not compared to the big thing.. well to each his own i think that most of the attractive of regular "soccer" is the fans and the folklore in a soccer stadium down here in latin american and europe the fans are crazy

Re: sports you just can't get into

"true soccer" is just too slow. there isnt enough action for me. i mean, for having a ball that has a 12 inch circumference, and a net 30 feet wide and 9-10 feet high?, there should be a ton more goals. there are crazy fans in every sport. philly had to actually put a jail and courtroom in the VET feild b/c there fans are terribly violent. every eagles game has at least one woman assualted by a man, and usually a dozen or so massive fights. and when it comes to yanks/ sox, no fan better be wearing the away team colors, cuz you might be beaten, or worse. shit i lit a kid's red sox jersey on fire while he was wearing it one game.

to each thier own is right.

Re: sports you just can't get into

baseball and NASCAR - 2 most boring sports ever. I used to love baseball then I fell out of it. I guess it's as much fun as watching 2 lesbian housewives with broomsticks hollering like apes while trying to navigate a donut down some ice .

Cricket and golf I should as well are ridiculously retarded.


My fav to watch are Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, Football (including NCAA), Hockey, and F1. I probably like more that I can't think of atm.

Re: sports you just can't get into

The NHL doesn't do it for me...... For some reason I just can't get into it. I rather watch hockey at the high school level. The fights are entertaining but I rarely follow it besides the one year the Minnesota Wild got deep into the playoffs.

NCAA basketball is one I can't get into either besides the March Madness hoopla... There's way too many divisions and teams to follow and when the major schools in your area are complete crap (I can't even name a starter on the Gophers squad) you loose all interest until the Madness when everyone is waiting to see those highly anticipated upsets. NCAA football on the other hand is a lot of fun to watch because the rivalries are a lot stronger imo and college football just has that extra flair to it that most other college sports lack. Nothing beats the Rose Bowl when Texas beat USC. One of the greatest games played in any sport imo.

NASCAR... never cared for it.

Besides that I pretty much watch all the other major sports at the college and pro level. I love the MLB rivalries and think it'll be a great year. Hope to catch a few Twins games. NBA is fun to watch, I prefer the West over the East. Though imo the days of Malone and Stockton versus Jordan, Pippen and Rodman have yet to be matched in today's rivalries (Suns and Mavericks, Heat and Lakers, etc). The NFL is easily my favorite thing to watch.

I've been getting back into UFC/Pride as well, especially with the lack of blockbuster boxing matches. The heavyweight division in boxing is utter crap. The only thing I'm looking forward to in boxing is Oscar and Floyd next month.

Re: sports you just can't get into

I'll watch ANY sport from badmiton to bass fishing...it's why I can't have cable/dish TV, I'd have to go on unemployment due to sports spectator related injuries.
