The truth is that nobody watches that crap outside of the US. No one gives 2 shits. It is broadcasted everywhere all over the world but that's about it. Trying to force feed this to the rest of the world is counterproductive and it is a money pit outside of the US.
Except it is catching on in Europe...
They have been saying that for the last 30 years. Still hasn't happened.
Ironic isn't it. The more "safer" they make tools for people to use, the more ways people incorrectly use these tools and cause injuries.
In football we are specifically taught to watch the hips as the head of the runner lies, and to tackle at about the waist wrapping up with both hands and driving through the player.
However, because it was becoming celebratory for defensive players to make loud and huge hits on players, many do not do this and just try to destroy their opponent with a massive hit using the shoulder and driving through the chest or legs.
Yes basically. And while my one rugby concussion seemed worse then football concussions...I can generally say that I most likely experienced more head trauma in football over all. I had one real concussion while playing, and probably many other minor ones that I just ignored and kept playing because it was just a tiny little headache.
And it makes sense that us Americans liek football better. We all have A.D.D. brains. We can't possibly enjoy a sport that might be slightly less action packed at times (like rugby) and require constant stimulation. Why else do you think movie makers spend ass tons of money remaking all these retarded films over and over. Because they are action packaged with lots of booms and 'splosions!!! That's exactly why we like football. It's lots of little tiny bits of action.
#1 people reason don't like watching baseball is because they say there's not enough action. Playing is totally different though.
No they haven't. They just started saying that this past 8 or so years ago. You know... when we actually started playing games over there.
...
Well even the action in baseball isn't exactly action... Never once have I enjoyed watching Baseball on the T.V. In person it is a whole new thing because of the energy of the stadium.
I always equate watching baseball to watching cricket. It's hard to explain why it's good but there's something satisfying about a game that can go on for days and has meal breaks.
Can cricket really go on for days? ? ?
5 days is normal for a test match.
Well no wonder so little is known about that sport here in America. Only thing I know is it has an interesting looking paddle/bat that they use.
I can't picture many people in this country keeping tabs on a game lasting more than a day, let alone 5.
There are three forms of cricket. Test, One Day, and T-20. A test match is generally 5 days but it can be shorter if both teams bat twice, or if a team posts a score in while the other team cannot reach in two tries.Can cricket really go on for days? ? ?
T-20 is by far the shortest, and best version of cricket to watch. Each team gets twenty overs and because of this there's a lot of huge shots and improvisations by batsmen to get runs. This is the only form of cricket I'll watch. The other versions are torture. :biggrin:
Well even the action in baseball isn't exactly action... Never once have I enjoyed watching Baseball on the T.V.
I dare you to say that in India or Bangladesh. :biggrin:I think we can all agree at least that cricket sucks
I dare you to say that in India or Bangladesh. :biggrin:
