Football is a boring sport

[Rakehellion]

94% of every game is inactivity. Think about that. What if you watched a 2 hour movie and had to sit through 114 minutes of credits?

To make things worse, the "action" segments are just a guy running with a ball in his hand. Maybe someone tackles him to the ground, so he lands gently on the soft grass while wearing 20 pounds of padding so he doesn't get hurt. Yippee, I'm excited already.

Real men watch boxing, MMA, and wrestling. Heck, even a poker game has more surprises than football.

I can see why it's the most popular sport in a country filled with overweight slobs.

Medium rare

Soccer sucks.

You've obviously never watched football if you think it doesn't have any surprises.

 

[Red Storm]

We thank you for your opinion.

 

[Maximilian]

Yeah its pretty dull

Or maybe you're just easily surprised.

I wonder if the Superbowl will be cold.

No thank you, not a big fan of theater.

Edit: Or men rolling around on the floor together.

Real men don't bitch.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

If the players actually freeze, will they shatter upon impact?

In boxing, you hit another man with your fists until he is physically unable to continue the match.

Football is a game where you pretend to hurt your opponent. "I was tackled to the ground, so I have to stop playing because those are the rules!"

This is a discussion board, bitch. Contribute something worthwhile or get the fuck out.

Single digits. Time to break out the vaseline.

That is, without a doubt, the stupidest and most misinformed thing I've read here all week.

 

[TwiceOver]

To each their own. Honestly boxing and "wrestling" are so boring to me. But at least I don't come in here spouting a bunch of bullshit. MMA is neat to watch every now and again but it's time has been up for a few years now and will fade back into obscurity.

And Basketball... While I appreciate the athleticism that is required to play the sport. Second most boring sport just behind Baseball.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I would agree football is a boring sport. But, it is one of the least boring sports to watch. (most boring would have to be baseball or golf)

yeah, no one has ever gotten hurt in footbal. ever.

i always find it amusing/sad when people on this board make a thread about a topic they don't like, to discuss a topic they don't like, and go on and on about the topic at hand, discussing a topic they don't like. it doesn't surprise me anymore on here though, just someone to point and laugh at.

That time of the month eh?

You created one of the most unoriginal threads only because the sport's biggest game is about to happen. You can call it the most boring sport ever, nobody cares and the games will go on, so what's the goal here?

 

[Fritzo]

Oh come on. I'm not big on sports but I love watching the playoffs and the Superbowl.

What I don't like about football (and sports in general) is nothing really matters in the end. "WE WON THE SUPERBOWL! WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS! Woohoo! Now everyone forget it a few weeks later, then let's start over so everyone becomes equal again."

 

[Krazy4Real]

You must be a boring person. Boredom comes from within.

 

[Rakehellion]

You can get hurt taking walking up the stairs, doesn't mean I'm paying my cable company $40/month for a premium sports package.

 

[JM Aggie08]

Hey guys! Look at NaVorro Bowman pretending to be hurt! Lol, what a faker.

You're doing a terrible job of trolling, OP.

you must have not competed in many things if you feel that way. and i'm not talking just about sports.
