People due travel for away NFL matches for that matter.
Why Professional North American Sports are truly shit?
- Thread starter zain
- Start date
Eh?
Have you ever wondered why no one else in the world plays American sports like baseball and american football? Could it be because they're a bit shit?
Or maybe because they have there own sports. Funny that you say no one else plays baseball considering the world baseball classic is currently going on. As for American football, it's just a better version of rugby in my opinion.
And some people do arrange trips during the summer to travel to all the baseball stadiums on the East Coast or West Coast. Same for special trips to see college football or basketball games. That takes a major time and financial commitment, though.
Confessions of a gimp brainswashed at a tender age to take up the sport. Even when yanks pump in more currency for all day kindergarten tournaments to woo kids towards these two bit sports beyond their borders with rubbish promos they are hardly any takers.
Have you ever thought about that?
I have the answer!
They're all gay.
I think Vijay`s opinon is invalid here as he likes cricket - the gayest most pointless sport ever.
GO SOX!!
GO SOX!!
I`ve never seen an American team with AIG or Emirates on the home top. And look at the ridiculous billboards on the side of the pitch nowadays - quite distracting imo.
First of all, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela as well as other countries, all play baseball, and have some very good players at all levels.
Cricket is the only sport that mandates a break for scones and jam butties. So gay. Also, cricket fans are all Indian men. Baseball fans, at least half are sexy ladies.
Yeah what a bunch of money grubbers football teams are, oh well lets put a big as corporate sponsor on our shirt that is 10x better than our crest. Umm sir the shirt looks like shit. Oh that's ok son we are making millions
Football is by far the greatest sport in the world. People disagreeing are on the wrong forum.
More people play and watch cricket than baseball mainly because cricket is the much better sport. Take the 3 aspects of baseball: bowling, batting and fielding and tweak it a bit to make it ridiculously easy and you get baseball. Any decent cricketer could make a profession out of baseball the only reason they don't is because they have some self-respect and pride they'd like to maintain.

Basketball is a great sport. I've lost connection with it though as I dont have Channel 5 UK. The good old days of Jordan, Malone, Pippin, Rodman, Barkley, Shaq etc.. those were wonderful days 
Goin back even further to Bird, Magic & Karim - there was something iconic about the earlier years of Basketball that i've mentioned, sadly i feel like most sports now - money is more important than entertainment or success for players
Baseball i've no interest in - the fans turn me off big time with their over indulgence & the game itself is slower than Snooker
Gridiron I like, but i wouldnt be a huge fan although i keep an eye out for results & special players!

More people watch cricket because there are no viable alternatives in India and Pakistan. The fielding in Baseball (particulary the throws from short and third to first base) are light years ahead of anything in cricket.
Eh?
I can remember in 95 when World Federation of International Baseball Association of all Unions(a sister concern of GLADD) trying their feckwittery in Goa and Singapore organizing couple of mickey mouse tournaments shelling around $150 per day on schoolboys to woo them to this shite sport. That sum was much higher than a fully grown up first division cricketer earned in those parts per day but still it didnt materialize as the gays presumed.
Fyi Cricket WC 2003 had the highest veiwer ship after FIFA 2002 and Sydney Olympics also ICC dont pimp around poor countries in the Carribean, recruiting little gay children with money on a sport that requires little or no skill or talent and dull as a feck to watch. Barring the 11 major nations, there are more than 60 affiliate countries that play organized first division cricket across the world with little or no money pumped in - they play for passion alone. Cricket matches played any where in Gulf still attrract full houses even between neutral countries although tha Arabs aint clearly good at the sport. In contrast only gays are bothered to watch the visiting NFL teams in England, apart some lesbians hanging around to have a better look at the cheer leaders.
North American sports are purely by the gays, of the gays and for the gays.
If you work in a cattle farm chucking cowdung on the walls, it should come easy.
You`re pontificating about a sport you obviously know feck all about. If you did you`d know most shortstops are from Latin America.
fecking awful valuations
No they play because during breaks they get the paddle stuck up their ass and they enjoy which is why India is so good at cricket, hope this helps
Haven't all the best baseball players been found to be taking drugs anyway? A-Rod and this other fat bloke Barry Bunds I think?
Yeah and Mantle, Babe Ruth, Gehrig, ted Williams, Willie Mays etc etc etc
Not like any footballers or cricketers have ever failed a drug test
I don't know I'm not gay and therefore don't follow cricket
What's wrong with this?
Its ironic you gave that definiton for passion and still allege you are not gay.
just to point out Babe ruth the greatest BASKETBALLS player of all time is a shady character.
It's ironic that you have sex with other men and claim you are not gay...
poor comeback 2/10.
Nobody has refuted the claim that cricketers enjoy jam cakes and chamomile tea. Also the fact that you watch cricket with 60,000 Indian gays, some who possibly jumped into a muddy hole full of feces.
Cups and cakes, cups and cakes
Oh what good things my mum makes
Mother, take tea, won't you take it with me
What a gay time it will be.

FACTS
Magic Johnson,the greatest quarter back of all time has AIDS, a public secret many of you might not be aware of. He had sex with both Arthur Ashe and Freddie Mercury and sent them to heavens.
Isiah Thomas often has sex with Micheal Jordan.
Babe Ruth the greatest basketball player of all of all time, is a racist...he hated whites many of you lot who havent seen him in flesh aint aware of that. Also his dad's a serial rapist.
Mantle, Gehrig, William Schweilder, Joe Bowen Olazabal and other greatest american footballers are all gays.
Beckham has a higher fan following in Tokyo than all the North American sports in the world put together.
The only so called North American Sport that foriegners bother viewing is the WWF/E cleary sums up the quality of the rest.

Why has no one banned this vijay clown yet? Boring, shite poster.
Is it just me, or this is sad attempt of wummery / comedy very very poor?
The difference being football supporters take a stand against the commercialization and actually try to fight it in campaigns, protests, mass boycotts, OFT complaints, taking cases to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, have Fans Forums with club officials, Supporters Trust Funds etc.....
You actually see breakaway clubs in football with the likes of FC United, Wimbledon etc and supporters at least making a statement that they won't take shit.
I rarely see those kind of things in North American sports when fans know they're getting shafted, but are more than willing to bend over and take it...College sports I appreciate to be honest, it's at the professional level that some of the commercialization without protest that I find shocking ...I maybe wrong, but that's the general impression I get?
Or maybe I'm way off the mark due to my lack of knowledge of sports in North America?
What's your fecking deal dude, you need to get a grip and stop with this shit.
I'd say it is more indicative of foreginers being fecking idiots
