This is a normal post I'm more worried about the people that watch this as a 'sport.'
It's a bit of a cliche to insult American sports I know, but what you call 'football' IS basically British bulldog crossed with catch.

This is a normal post This time of the year always makes me wish I could still play football.
But the three discs and the broken coccyx have ended that. It is a great game.

This is a normal post it looks like a fun game if you're the quarterback
if you're a defensive lineman or one of a bunch of other positions on the field, it looks a dull brutish and repetitive game to play

This is a normal post I always liked the open field game, as a wide receiver or safety on defense.
I have a brother who just loved the rough and tumble of the line. Some of them don't mind getting hit.

This is a normal post As opposed to
the dull british and repetitive game that is football. I'll take American football over it any day

The problem with NFL is the stoppages and lack of imagination. yeah they might throw a long pass once in a while but its so repetitive and similar to every other game you've wacthed of NFL. Don't get me wrong I like watching highlights, but comparing it to what I call real sport like Football and Rugby, its not in the same league.

This is a normal post Well sorry
but I find football and rugby borefests.

Different strokes for different folks.

I used to actually like football as a kid, but the game today is shit. Overpaid, pussy players who dive about at the slightest touch...bleeeeugh

This is a normal post I watched quite a bit of it while I was in the States
Didn't get a lot of choice, if there was a game on, it was on telly. I tried to like it, I really did. I just never once felt like I understood it. It just looked like a confusing and fractured game where the object seemed to be to inflict as much pain as possible on the opposition, and incidentally move a ball around a bit.

Baseball on the other hand, I took to in a way that probably only a cricket fan could.

This is a normal post That's easily explained.......
One team is in and one's out. The team that's out tries to get the team that's in out. Then the team that's out go in and the team that's in goes out and tries to get the the team that was out but now in, out.
The one with the most runs, wins.

This is a normal post What if one of them is offside?

This is a normal post Usually, about half of them will be offside at any one point
The other half will be leg side. This only goes for the team that aren't 'in', as most of them will be inside, either out or not out.

It is basically what cricket would be if you wanted people to watch it.

i see it as more rugby at the pace of cricket.

something happens for 4 or less seconds, then lots of standing around, then another 4 seconds something happens, then more standing around....

If they had a tea break 1 hour after the start of play im sure they would be more civilised to one another.
