28. If only the Packers could start their own league...
where games weren't extended ad nauseum every year to include more advertising.

Salud!

3. Your sample is biased
you're asking Americans to opine on World sports.

Need to have a worldly sample to get an honest answer to the question.

Edited on Sun Jul-09-06 06:55 PM by KamaAina
the traditional Afghan analogue of soccer, or possibly polo, in which a goat's head is used as the "ball".

Let's go Tora Bora! I wanna see you score-a! :evilgrin:

edit: gotta get those sports straight :-)

(not-throwing) hand.

24. You can also make the dart "slip" out of your
hand and hit the back of the head of the girl that is openly offering herself to your boyfriend. That really does make for a great sport!

(Not that I would know from experience, of course.)

30. You're welcome.
Edited on Sun Jul-09-06 08:31 PM by xmas74
like I said earlier-I've never been party to letting a dart "slip" and hit a skank in the back of her head. I'd never do that.

(Same way I'd never try to hit a skank in the back with a horseshoe. It just slipped out of my hand. It's not like I grew up playing horseshoes or something.)

20. LOL
Edited on Sun Jul-09-06 07:38 PM by mvd
Mine is American football. I like the excitement and the buildup to every Sunday. Here are my opinions on others:

Baseball: enjoyable sport with strategy and a lot of statistical analysis. I tend to focus on individual players here than in any other sport.

Basketball: I'm not crazy about pro basketball, but the NCAA tournament is always thrilling.

Hockey: I like hockey a lot. The new rules have made it more watchable, but I think they went a little TOO far in calling penalties.

Soccer: It's good in small doses. I followed the World Cup. Americans should at least know about the game.

Boxing: Too physical for me

Tennis: It's ok. Some matches are better than others.

Golf: Boring
