I'm a fan of minor league ball. The pitch is a bit slower so you get more hits.

Besides, the true appeal is the between inning promotions, hanging out with your friends and getting drunk on overpriced beer. Its hard to beat watching two grossly overweight guys race beer kegs across the field to win a T-shirt. Or, a couple of little kids in Sumo suits bash the hell out of each other with boffo swords. Or, to watch Der Weiner Slinger (an oversized potato gun) in action, pumping hotdogs into the crowd. :D

It does sound good but could they make a pie variety ? Especially one that fires the Chicken Balti pies that you get at Brisatol Rovers :cool:

I imagine they could. They also sling t-shirts and ice-cream sandwiches.

I remember going to watch a basket ball match in Atlanta and shit like this was going on! Now bear in mind total playing time in a basketball match is 60 mins (4 1/4s of 15 mins) but this game was managed to stretch to about 3 hours! They had some kind of show between each quarter (which seemed to last longer than a quarter!) but they didn't stop there! They had shows and games etc lined up for the time outs as well!!!

I also saw an ice-hockey match in DC and in that, as in the basket ball match, you couldn't see anything for the stream of people walking in front of you for another burger/dog hit!

And they don't even sell chicken balti pies or bovril! What's that all about?!

But maybe if you had the beer kegs and sumo suits, you wouldn't need the fencing and moats to keep the fans from killing each other....

But they do it after the game mostly . We don't need entertainment during the game !

moats?!?

fencing went out years ago mate. at least in england, caused more danger than it stopped.

they all kill each other away from the grounds these days.

which is better.
 
That article has a point about something. You shouldn't use your head for things besides thinking, wearing hats, and sporting fancy hairdos.

I think soccer is directly responsible for the head-butt. I mean, how else would the idea of using your head as a weapon come up?

Look at that Holland Portugal game. The portuguese guy goes up and slams the dutch guy in the nose, with his forehead.

Say what you want about NA sports, but you'll rarely if ever see a baseball player intentionally ram his head into the noggin of some outfielder from the opposing team. It goes against logic: your brain is in there.

The other thing: I've started watching soccer, and liking it a little, but sometimes I'm reminded of some of those weird Japanese games, like the one where each opponent gets a dog, then you sit the dogs down facing each other, and the loser is the guy whose dog barks first.

I'd watch that too, but I'd rather watch a playoff game between the Canucks and the Detroit Red Wings, truth be told. It's fast, exciting, and the heads are encased in plastic helmets, the way God intended.

A 38-year-old Kaizer Chiefs fan, Patrick Mkhonto, died when he plunged five metres to his death during the Chiefs and Orlando Pirates soccer match at the weekend.

Mkhonto, a Zambian citizen who worked for a Johannesburg hotel, died after losing his balance while celebrating Kenny Niemach's goal in the 33rd minute of the game and falling into a five-metre deep moat between the stands and the playing field.

Well no, being a baseball player he would have a baseball bat, thereby negating the need to headbutt
 
Something else: how is it that a player, crying in agony, can be hauled off the field on a stretcher, but he's back in playing five minutes later?

With hockey or football, if they bring in a stretcher, it usually means that the player is unconscious and/or he's going to the hospital. Otherwise, they walk off.

I seem to recall when Sky first got its hands on the Premiership they used to make a big deal out of being on telly and there were half time fireworks/shows and I'm sure at one match at Bramall Lane there was a big sumo race! (Maybe in the derby against the Pigs?)

Christ on a bike, I don't know who's talking ignorant bollocks more. You, or the 'journalists' in the inital poster's link? In fact, you win, because you've managed to sound like a tit in less words. Well done.:)

I guess it's that with the stuff they use in sports here, someone could really get hurt, like with a baseball bat or hockey stick, so one thing you NEVER see, is a fight where the players use the bats or sticks.

They'll drop their stuff, and go at it with fisticuffs.

But no headbutting.

Also, with hockey, there have been a couple of incidents where a player has used a stick, and it's resulted in a bad injury for another player. The guys using the sticks have been criminally charged by the police. The name Marty McSorley immediately springs to mind.

I can't actually see anything neo-con about the article, the guy just seems to dislike football - it may be a neocon source but I was expecting something political to slip out . . . :confused:

Sorry to disappoint!

Just that the article is making people's bloody boil on message board around the virtual world and I thought mentioning the background to the magazine would give it some extra welly in here!

I'm good for 1 1/2 games.

I even enjoy the first game. But by halftime in the second one, I want to run screaming into the street.

You're not meant to watch them back-to-back.
