Tiger Woods is reputedly a very fit and athletic man. That doesn't mean to me that golf is an athletic sport. If the two fittest people in the world play a game of billiards, it still doesn't turn pool from a game into a sport.

Most of the "sports" people pay so much money to see are really just games, better left to the children they were designed for.

I never implied that they were not fit, just that the game of soccer itself is weak sauce.

Oh, go fuck off to your Kobe Bryant poster.

I said 'fittest' once. And you focus on that? You are quite frankly the weakest poster I've ever seen on this board...even weaker than mrtrebus, and that's saying something. :) Have you even played ONE sport in your pathetic, misery laden life? A linebacker, you fucking d-bag, is WEAK. Does that compute? WEAK. Unathletic and WEAK. They eat potato chips every day and fuck white women, which looks like it would be similar to your avatar, you fucking weak little bitch.

Well of course. What other sport can you fly down an ice rink at 30mph and cream somebody to within a second of their existence? But you have to play both and I have to tell you scoring a goal in either one is the best feeling on earth. You can't understand that feeling unless you've done it yourself. It's the biggest rush you will ever receive.

I agree. The biggest rush is being on a breakaway and seeing that you only have one defender to beat. You get a rush sprinting down the field just trying to put the ball into the back of the net. I imagine that this was what it was like in the USA-Algeria game when Howard got the ball out quickly and you had about four or five USA players sprinting down field trying to score that game winning goal.

Both baseball and Soccer games seem to go on and on and on and on when I watch them. Theses aren't really sports, they are children's games designed to teach teamwork without the risk of injury that comes along with more physical sports. Plus most of the players (most not all) could care less about the fans, it is about the check. They might say they care, but that's because they have to to get paid more by building a larger fan base.

Take me to a kiddie baseball game that my little brother is playing in, I have a ton of fun, and so do they. And the kids really want to win for their school, they aren't getting paid a dime. Pay grown men millions to play the same game...:sleep:

Pay two men millions to go into a ring and beat the brain cells out of each other.. now that is sport! :2 cents:

Your a cancer on this board. You never say anything poignant, profound, intelligent, or humorous. You constantly flame people in the most childish manner. You should be banned for life.
