That would never happen here in a game you were expected to win at home (this was against Seattle) - fans would be screaming for a winner. So even the people who do watch it don't seem to get it. It's good that the Americans have their own sports though otherwise if they really adopted "soccer" in a big way then more top players might be drawn away from Europe than is already the case.

Guest User	Baseball is just glorified rounders anyway, and it can take up too 4 hours + to complete a game and you'd have to get drunk in the stands to enjoy yourself.

Most of them have a very short career of around 3 years, and their life expectancy is in their 50s unbelievably (probably because many of them are very fat). http://www.thebigbangauthor.com/2011/10/nfl-players-life-expectancy-might-be.html 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.   ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

Actually, this explains quite a lot...

Which is the average length of there attension. if you notice most tele programmes have cuts to a diferent shot approximatly 3 second apart. Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred,jealousy,boastfullness, disregard of all rules and a sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence; In other words it is war without the shooting.
