Do any of you non-American getbiggers like this NFL shit?
Seems like some Europeans are into it, but besides that most of the world just laughs at it.
What a shitty sport it is. Am I right or am I right?

it's a fraud and fixed, and NAs dont want to see the light.
Ref calls an un-necessary ruffness or some BS to move pitt half the distance to goal line. all i saw was 2 guys pushing as usual on a return.
Then...ref calls a phantom holding call with lineman's hands flat against defenders chest...not on the outside of shoulder pads.
All of this to kill a potential game winning drive.
F##king like clock work with the NFraudL
I've said before just watch the timing of calls in the league. that's the trick to controlling the outcome of a close game.

I totally agree, there is a lot of corruption in the NFL and a lot of bullshit calls. Obviously it's a business first and a sport second.
It's human nature for people to ignore corruption though and pretend that everything is alright. People do it in politics, economics, sports, everything.

I don't hate football or anything, but it's a shit sport to be so popular. I mean like 99 percent of it audiences couldn't even play a backyard game of it. Atleast with hockey baseball or soccer anyone can play.

True. That's one of the funniest things about it. The fans of football mostly don't play it and are totally unathletic. It's a "I watch it, but I don't play" kind of sport.
-
I kind of "like" it (no homo)
It's just too bad they only broadcast SB here... and I'm hell not going to pay to get sum american satellite channel to see whole season...
And nobody wants to watch these football games played in Europe - they're such a joke, once you see the NFL shit euro-copy looks like they are running on fukin' slow motion ;D
Albeit the game is big only in USA.
-
As i know,most Asians don't give a s**t about NFL football or Super-ball something.. ::)
-
Why do you think the game is only big in the USA?
Because it's just a cheap copy of rugby?
Because it's a boring game that lacks strategy and complexity?
Because the bloated steroid freak athletes freak people out similar to bodybuilders?

I absolutely dunno bro.
I mean IMO it's more interesting than many other "sports"...
But in USA they have completely their own ''atmosphere''; they don't even like F1, instead they have these silly nascars and whatever! And take baseball; only in America.
Weirdos :D

So are you saying that we should all only debate about things we like?
We can't talk about things we don't like?
Your question doesn't make sense and it's illogical. People debate about things they don't like all the time. Why can't they?
People debate gay marriage and shit like that even though they don't like it.

Born in America to an American mother and Dutch father. I once asked my dad why he moved to America when he was 18 and he said better universities and much more $$$ to be made in the USA.

I'm actually anti-war.
Vietnam and Iraq were big mistakes.
America does have the most deadly military in the world, but we use surgical strikes against our enemy. We could carpet bomb Afghanistan and the war over there would be over in a few weeks, but we don't kill innocent people. It's a needle in a haystack to find the enemy like in the mountains of Afghanistan or the Jungles of Vietnam.
However, when we do find them...

You believe in a war against al-Qaeda? I hate Taliban and al-Qaeda and all these religious militant nutjob groups.

indirect deaths in initial invasion: 3,200 - 20,000
direct & indirect deaths: 8,991 - 28,583
Mighty fine job O saviour of the poor afghani people ::).
I think collateral damage is an aweful thing, but there's no way around it. What would you suggest the US do in Afghanistan?

China is 25 years behind the US in military technology. They've just now finished their stealth prototype lol.
China and Russia have numbers, but their weapons are far inferior.

Well you probaly don't live in the north. People play hockey into there fucking 60's. It's not like football, where even professional rarely play past 22. It's a dreamers sport, where it's all about hype and making it big. There's very little love for actually playing the game. Just watching the dream.
I don't even hate football, it's just american rugby to me, I'd like to play it to be honest but watching it is a fucking waste.

Check it out some of the comments.

"Hitler may be dead, but his thinking still inspires many of those in this conflict. Discussing Afghanistan with a neighbor, he commented that we need to obliterate it with nuclear weapons, as well as any other country or people that we take a dislike to. I.e.: those who can kill en mass shouldn't limit themselves to talk or coddling.
Hitler had the same idea when he entered the area around Minsk, in western Russia. At first, the Russians welcomed the Germans, hoping they would end Stalin's oppression, but after they saw the Germans kill nearly two and a half million Russian civilians and not once, but repeatedly destroy their towns, often burning them with the people still in them, the Russian people decided that Stalin was not really so bad after all. It meant that instead of Germany winning the war, Stalin did. And, of course, I'm sure the Germans would have told you that no civilians were in those towns either. All those people were Russian soldiers or sympathizers, I'm sure.
Petraeus has taken a new hard line against the towns where the Taliban are hard to remove. Total destruction and killing all who reside there, is preferable to continuing to beat your head against a wall trying to dislodge them. The same goes for all those sanctuaries in Pakistan that he can't reach except with drones.
Does it result in creating more enemies than you can kill? It did for Hitler. Most Americans didn't see the hundreds of thousands of people marching in the streets of Pakistan against the drone killings over Christmas. I don't think that kind of thing makes Fox News. Pakistan is on the verge of siding with the Taliban. One thing that America often does when it is not winning a war is to widen it. Maybe if we widen the War to Pakistan we will feel better. There are lots more people there to kill. Sure, we'll lose a lot more too, but won't it be worth it? "

"Well, Well, Well .. Let me see if I got this right .. Our 'oh so brave' troops and their 50 trillion dollar war machine with the finest collection of mass murder hardware in the world .. attack and flatten some village over there and I'm supposed be 'proud' ?? !!
Boy I'm sure those villagers really appreciated the 'job' we did !
Just like the 1.5 MILLION dead Iraqi Men, Women, and Children we butchered on the basis of lies !! (no doubt enjoying there new found democracy that we brought to them .. the right to die!)
When you cut through the crap and get down to it, we go half way around the world to rape, pillage and plunder countries because .. we can .. and then rationalize it .. and the idiot drones cheer as they watch the carnage.
Amerika's time is coming ! We've got some heavy dues to pay !
There's an old saying .. What goes around, comes around .. and its true.
You can wrap it up in the flag .. seal it with the cross of Christ ..
vote it in by both parties .. but its still genocide!
So the next time I see them dancing and waving there rifles after an I.E.D. blows up some tank or truck with our 'oh so brave' boys, it wont bother me a bit !
This is exactly what we did in 1776 to the English and if I lived over there ..
It's exactly what I would be doing today !
Folks have a 'God given' right to defend themselves, and we better get our heads out of whatever dark, dank, place we've got it and wake up !
Flying 1/2 way around the world to kill a couple million villagers to steal their oil and other natural resources isn't Patriotic ..
It's sick, aggressive, genocide .. motivated by greed .. pure and simple.
Folks will ALWAYS try to defend their freedom with whatever means they have access to. They don't have a choice .. it's their home, not ours !
If we cant ‘bear the pain’ of seeing our sons and daughters ground up in this war of greed, then STOP sending them over there ! .. It’s that simple.
That’s NOT ‘Defending America’ .. It’s Offending God, Justice, Humanity and any one left with a conscience "
Ps: Should we talk about torture?

I don't think us Americans will give a shit if you like our sport or not... I don't like Soccer (football) but I don't bash it either.
Do I think the NFL is a racket? Sure. It is also entertainment for the United States. I am sure a lot of European Athletes can only dream about making the money some of these football players make. I am sure when a lot of athletes started playing any kind of sport were doing it because they loved the game, however when money gets involved everyone changes.

Actually it was few decades ago when Americans licked pre-Talibans balls and fed them with cash and weapons.
This took place in Afghanistan when USSR invaded it 1979-1989. Of course americans didn't like it back in Cold war days and supported these today-terrorists.
Great job yankees :D
USSR killed over million terrorists back in the day and probably would've killed all the remaining without you!

Of course it's not going to happen. Who has claimed otherwise?
If it could ever happen, it would've happened during Cuban missile crisis (hope you uneducated steroid monsters know about that event).
Back then both countries - USSR and USA - were more close to "push the button" than ever before or ever in future.

i'm an American but i agree 100%
I grew up as a kid playing mostly cricket..but thats a game you can PLAY anywhere.
every street in pakistan has a game of cricket going on the weekends...
Saturdays and Sundays we used to start with 7 to 8 hours of cricket...then move on to field hockey for a few...and then go swimming...and then again play night cricket or sometimes soccer....
99% of NFL "fans" have never played a whole game of football

football in PE doesn't count( we were sometimes made to play basketball in PE...did ya see me count that?) and you really CANT play football on the weekends...unless you have a field to play in...you cant very well tackle guys playing on the street now can ya?
when i say "play" i mean..at least with cricket...every neighborhood had a team...and almost every night after school...and whole weekends we'd play tournaments against other neighborhoods...
there were serious games where you didn't "baby" your opponent...as i assume you HAVE to in football...i mean in football someone could get seriously hurt...with cricket..only 2 guys are batting so you really only need 2 pairs of safety equipment and everyone shared...
i'm not saying i dislike football (i find it boring cause i didn't grow up with it) ...i just dont see how people can play an all out game of football without equipment..without someone getting seriously hurt :-\
n oh..i'm 34...i STILL play cricket with my friends once a month...how many guys in their 30s can say they get together once a month with their friends and play an all out game of football? its not feasible...unless everyone goes out and buys proper gear....which...umm i dont see that at parks when i go play tennis or cricket

I understand, but think of rugby and the no pads. It certainly didn't keep people from doing some pretty serious hitting even without pads. As for a field, it only took someones yard, local park, etc... I'm sure some guys played in the street in the hood, like mal, but in the vast majority of the country it wasn't hard to find space at all. And all you needed was a football, nothing else. I think that is part of the popularity of it in the US , kinda like soccer in the rest of the world, all you need is a ball and some space.

I always played football for recess or in the neighborhood with friends...from first grade to highschool.. so did alot of kids...maybe the nerds and geeks here that were losers in life that need to 'get-big' didn't cause they had no friends but normal kids did...Of course you dont play tackle on concrete...two-hand touch ..DUHHHH

i guess i had a misconception...back in college some of my white friends would invite me to come play football with them....and i'd go out of curiosity but we would end up just throwing the football back and forth to each other...not much more than that...granted it ws fun just to be out in a huge green field and running around (univ of maryland has some great fields for general use)...but after a while it just got boring...there ws no point to it...i'm gonna assume thats not what happens most of the time...since you say so..that people actually do play a game or so in an organized fashion :)

Great point. Playing at college age with your buddies being your main experience is very different than what it was at a younger age. In around 7th and 8th grade I can remember a couple of guys losing teeth, black eyes were normal, etc... and this was in PE class in school! I'm sure it's changed now in the PC world but during that time, teachers/coaches would just let it go. Seems crazy to think about now....

in cricket...its still sorta legal to nail someone.....this ws my attitude when i ws bowling...however unlike the bowler here..i made no apologies...i openly told the batsman to watch his nuts and face (and the umpire could do jack shit about it ;D)
* a ball(pitch) to the face is a legal ball(pitch) (new rules say as long as its done only once every 6 pitches)

haha, talk about intimidating a batter........

The real hits came when you had to block ...
Yup,I played in a flag league and a touch league ::)
punts and line play were all contact with hard hits.

Wow.....how many mph does he pitch? And in baseball it's a "sin" to even throw near a guys head.....and even the body to a lesser extent. And I bet that broski has no problem with the lady folk.... no homo.

I always played football for recess or in the neighborhood with friends...from first grade to highschool.. so did alot of kids...maybe the nerds and geeks here that were losers in life that need to 'get-big' didn't cause they had no friends but normal kids did...Of course you dont play tackle on concrete...two-hand touch ..DUHHHH
Yup......Football in the street was commonplace. "Green Toyota is the endzone" ;D dudes would get fucked up bouncing off cars trying to make an ill catch 8)
also playing at the school field was commonplace....me and my boys played football GAMES damn near every day when we were teens
Remember drawing up plays on your hand ?......"you do a down and in" ;D ;D

fastest he's gone ws 102ish mph...he averages in the upper 90s...he done for though :(.
the cocaine and alike got to him....he started showing up to games all fucked up...soo he'd pitch 12 pitches at that speed and then he'd go down to 80 mph and get hit all over the place...
in cricket its not just about speed though....a ball can move 1 way in the air...bounce and then move another way..so you have a lot of variation...
i'd like baseball more if it ws allowed to be more aggressive
by ball movement i mean THIS...again..its a short video...i hope you watch it to understand why cricket is so much more fun to me than baseball...the ball swings in the air..YARDS it seems
the guy below is not THAT fast...but look at how much it moves LATERALLY in the air and after the bounce!!!

On that first pitch, the ball moves at least 5 or 6 feet from left to right off the bounce....that bounce would also make it nasty to try to read what was going to happen.

apparently the superbowl was yesterday, I had no clue lol.
The superbowl to me is like some sort of exhibition match or spectacle, like a circus. Is it actually the final game of the year? Like a grand final?
I'm familiar with most of the names of the teams, but i couldn't tell you the name of one current player.

The thing that makes fast bowlers scary isn't so much the speed, but the fact that the ball is as hard as rock.

either way man...if you come from that culture..its hard to accept baseball...i like football over baseball but when i try to watch a football game on TV its ...its 2 mins of action and then 10 mins of replays and commentary it seems...and this is coming from a guy (me) that used to skydive...that got interested in bodybuilding NOT cause of how big he could get...but because it ws painful...THAT drew me to bbing...the aggressive involved...its nothing wrong with the sport itself...its just me.. :-\
maybe i'm wrong...
but at least you r open minded enough to see the allure of cricket 8)

Thanks. And I think part of the lure of football for Americans is how many of us play it....same as the world and soccer.... there is a connection to a sport that you have participated in that can't be just "picked up" imo. Kinda like I enjoy hockey, but it's not in my blood as I can't even skate, much less play the sport. Thanks for the vids.

you r absolutely correct..you have to have grown up with it...i grew up with cricket...as you did with football...
you cant sit there and conjure up the emotion you feel for a certain sport...it comes from childhood :)

i think the superbowl was fixed to cause u can tell they did everything they could to stop pitt from winning ..they really didnt want big ben to win after all that rape stuff...i dont watch much but u could tell they tried to keep pitt from winning and everyone wanted the other teams qb to be the new posterboy...totally fixed so a percieved rapist was not the winner same with that harrison guy who got the fines he was held on about every play he went after the qb and it was not called..just from a casual watcher it look fixed to me...

NFL is a business, you have to have good image to send to the young folks. People are still naive to think that good always prevails---storyline. You give them a backstory, set up the drama, hype it up, fix games, etc.
