Football Sucks

[quido]

Football sucks. You people are professional spectators and it's dumb as fuck.

That is all.

[radditsu]

I just got done playing some madden. What does that make me geromy?

[Autotune]

Go jerk off to some fat loser neckbeard flickin his greasy fingers on a piece of shit guitar.

[Hailto]

What about baseball?

[Hailto]

Autotune is very hostile today.

[quido]

At least that engages you - there's interaction. It's not spectating.

With how seriously people take their spectating these days, I think we should make spectating a sport itself. Then we can have people spectating the spectators.

[Autotune]

Have to RnF sometimes.

[quido]

What about baseball?

Baseball is retarded too. At least there's not as many retarded repeated commercials when you watch a baseball game, though.

Try playing a fucking sport instead of watching one.

How many hours of commercials do you have to watch to see a game or two? How many hours of retards providing retarded commentary do you have to endure to watch a game or two? I'm sitting here spectating someone spectating a football game and I've seen the same Nissan Rogue commercial like 8 times, and it's the first quarter. Fuck this shit.

Going to the games are fun! The noise, the food, the cheerleaders! The game is like 10% of it!

[quido]

You can get all of those things with better quality elsewhere. The food sucks. The cheerleaders are off limits and far away. Noise is dumb and it's free.

Not winning me over here.

[Kagatob]

all sorts are terrible, not just football. This isn't news though.

[quido]

Playing sports is great. Spectating sports is an exercise in futility, especially when it's a sport you don't even play.

I guess retards gotta do something.

I don't like to watch sports either, but it appears someone in your life has called you a nerd for liking video games and now you're lashing out in RNF.

Not true. Again we are talking about spectating vs interacting. I'd say hanging out with your buddies playing cards is more akin to raiding. Hanging out with pals watching sports on TV is akin to hanging out with pals and watching paint dry. It can still be fun (because of how you interact with your pals), but the activity itself is not engaging. Hanging out with your buddies and watching 20 minutes of actual football, 2 hours of commercials, and an hour of dumb commentary, in the course of 3 hours, CAN be fun, but it's not because of what you're watching. Hanging out and watching 20 minutes of football, 2 hours of commercials, and an hour of dumb commentary, in the course of 3 hours, is fucking retarded.

Yes though, I am visiting my mother for one more night here. It's a little boring, but it's not like I couldn't still play EQ. I just hate playing games on my laptop.

I enjoy playing sports and I'm pretty sure I play them more often and better than 90% of the people here (I played football and tennis in high school, table tennis in college, and play tennis and golf for fun now). I just think spectating sports if for people with two-digit IQs.

[cs616]

You clearly don't watch football right if you think it is just spectating. Football is a social event. It is an excuse to get together with friends, visit, go out drinking, and basically have a good time. It is no different than bowling, or fishing... it is something you can do while doing other things as well.

Some of my best memories from college are Saturdays in the fall, tailgating with friends and making new ones. I've lost track of the number of random people I know because we just so happened to be drinking on the same porch or ended up next to each other in the stadium and struck up a conversation.

99% of people who watch football don't do it a dark room all by themselves, unlike this game, which you seem to think is a better use of time considering how much you've played. I think "spectating" as you put it, is unquantifiably more productive and engaging than playing EQ. But then again, I generally don't feel the need to pass judgement on what makes other people happy.

[quido]

I took up pickleball this last summer too.

What's sad is you don't need an excuse to do these things. You can do them anytime without reason. Again, let me point out the difference between spectating and engaging in an activity. Watching television is not engaging.

To spend your time with your friends listening to fucking retards like Terry Bradshaw and formerly John Madden talking about what you've just seen half spoils it in my opinion.

[Lojik]

Think it just depends on a lot of things. I enjoy the game of football, grew up watching it with friends/ family. Only ever played unorganized games except for maybe intramural games. I just find that most people in general are dumb/annoying, and this is no different for football fans. Football is great cause one play at the end of the game can be the winning play or someone might be the goat. It's also fun to see how players and coaches deal with dynamic situations. If a game has no significance or my team is not playing it can be pretty boring though... unless Barry Sanders is playing.

I enjoy seeing certain matchups pan out and seeing people at the peak of physical condition. Many of the sports I like to watch I also play, and you can get a real appreciation for how talented these people are. For me at least, tennis is a great example... those guys are in great shape, are unbelievably talented, great concentration/mental toughness. With pro football players... those guys are just physical freaks of nature.

It's hard to stay tuned into a sport if your core group of friends isn't into it, and hard to get into sports you don't play or didn't grow up with.

[radditsu]

It is sometimes just nice to switch off from time to time.

[quido]

Aside from the commercials and the commentators, I think the music they play is the worst. It's so dramatic that it might actually fool people into thinking that football actually matters.

Proles gotta have something I guess

Have you seen how much they pay to air those games? I would commercialize every damn moment too. I di wisj there was a way to strip commentators and just have ambient noise. I know football...what they say is often wrong. There is no way Phil Simms won a superbowl because he can't read a coverage for shit.

[Barkingturtle]

I guess what I want to know is this: why don't you just go ask your dad to turn off the game and spend some time with you, Jeremy? Tell him you're leaving soon. He'll never know how you feel if you only express yourself in elf land.

[quido]

I talked to my stepdad for about 30 minutes regarding how retarded football is. He doesn't even know the rules of the game yet he took up watching it about a year ago. I don't understand it.

My actual father stopped watching pro football a long time ago. He occasionally watches his alma mater play. College football isn't quite as retarded as pro football.

[Barkingturtle]

Nobody asked for your life story.

[quido]

Sorry, it must be really tough for you knowing your mom is mentally, emotionally and most of all sexually satisfied by a man who's so dumb he's entertained by football.

Jeremy must have not been very athletic as a child so never played any sports. Alot of sports are boring to watch if you have never played them. I enjoy watching anything for the most part as it is better then 90% of the crap thats on TV anyways. Give me Curling over any reality show anyday of the week.

Soccer is cool too, but I rather American football. I was raised in the glory days of John Elway, I came into my teen years as the hate fueled Vikings/Rams matchups kept repeating... and when my world was torn apart.. Drew Brees.

[Lemiddar]

I do wish there was a way to strip commentators and just have ambient noise.

If you have a receiver-based home theatre goin' you used to be able disconnect the center channel on FOX and watch it without the commentary. Not sure if this still works.

--
As for the OP.. I'm not really sure what would become of pro sports if no one enjoyed watching it on TV. Certainly wouldn't be the same scale as it is now.

Overall this is just another case of someone bashing sports because they feel strange being in the minority. Something we've all seen too many times to count. Nothing new or interesting. Not a big deal.

There are many things I don't enjoy or understand the enjoyment in. But hey, if people like 'em.. great. Hardcore raiding on p99, NASCAR, beets, Lady Gaga, feces fetishes, foot fetishes, golden showers.. yeah I'll stop there.

[DrathMaximus]

The first time I walked into Panther Stadium (around 2000 I think) was indescribable, being a lifelong football player (grade 6-12)/fan (age 8-present). Goosebumps is what I felt. The energy from the crowd was off the chain insane; no wonder NFL players can play so wide open all the time! (That and their paychecks depend on it.) On the field in a small High School you rarely notice the crowd at all, unless you sit the bench. But I could not imagine 50k+ ppl cheering after a sack I had made. It has the be the closest thing to being a music superstar or Alist actor. This all coming from a biased lifelong football fan. To a child, it's a piece of Heaven. To the adult mind, however... it's dumb as shit. Men being payed millions to move a football around, while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. I look at it now like Christmas - it's for the children - not us.

I've never had an issue with the salaries. If a group of Walmart workers could get 50000 people to watch them work, pay $200 a pop, have their work televised by major networks. If spectators clamored to own Walmart employee shirts so they could emulate their favorite bed & bath worker.. they would make a ton more money as well.

Oh, and I'd rather the players get the money than the owners, who would be pushing prices as high as they could get people to pay either way.

[Rhambuk]

At least that engages you - there's interaction. It's not spectating.

With how seriously people take their spectating these days, I think we should make spectating a sport itself. Then we can have people spectating the spectators.

[Aviann]

If you want to look at it from what most of us probably are, middle men, it does sound angering to say "These men are getting paid millions to toss around a football."

But if you say, "These men are getting paid millions for incredible prestige in certain skills, brutal workouts, and a massive boost, consisting of at least 1/5th the population(guesstimate), to entertainment on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday." It isn't so bad. Especially considering a lot of these individuals turn around give back to their community. Some live luxuriously, some live luxuriously because the fans treat them that way.

Let me cite this as well...

"College Career
Unlike major professional sports such as baseball and ice hockey, which draft and sign players from high school, football players must play college football for at least three seasons or be out of high school for at least three years before being eligible to play in the NFL. Players who believe they are ready to succeed as a professional after their junior years in college will often declare themselves ready for the NFL Draft. Others will remain in school for their senior years. To be eligible for the draft without having spent four years in college, a player must receive special permission from the NFL."

The above would be an explanation as to why some brutes are attending college without having to do much... It is because they aren't going for a degree that is as conditioning as a lot of us would have chosen for our specific fields of interest. Its more of a gamble if anything for most of these men that choose to aim for playing in the NFL.

Also, although they make a lot of money, not all NFL players are getting paid millions. Some get paid as low as 200k a year. But most teams, if not all, still average above a 60 million dollar salary.

Don't know why I felt like expressing a defense, because I agree, but considering the entertainment business is as big an industry as we have in the U.S., you have to look at the facts and reasoning.

[quido]

Pickleball is awesome, that's what it is.

[Itap]

Pickleball is awesome, that's what it is.

is it kinda like pocket pool?

[quido]

It's somewhere between tennis and ping pong. For those of you too retarded to google it, it's played on about half a tennis court and has a tennis net that is 2 inches lower. Players use wood or carbon-fiber paddles that are about double the size of a ping pong paddle, and a hard whiffle ball. It is played doubles only - service must go cross-court like in tennis, and you're not allowed to volley the return. The nature of the game really encourages net-play, however there's an area adjacent to the net on both sides a couple feet long called "the kitchen" that you are not allowed to step in unless the ball bounces in it - you must then remove yourself from the kitchen before a return is made. Scoring is similar to volleyball in that you can only get a point when you are serving.

I've only played it a few times now but I'm hooked. What's awesome is that even fat 80-year-old women can be decent at it if they can move just a little and got the skills.

The washed up "hasbeens" end their football commentary with the quote" MAN I would be down there with those players if I wouldn't have torn my ACL in high school". Fuck football it's dumb and requires the least skill of any sport. At least baseball you have to do multiple things other than be a fatass and block someone with a set of gear. Baseball you have to be able to catch the ball, throw the baseball, and/or hit the fucking thing going 100 mph. Yeah I get sick of how OBSESSED people are with football players. Knowing their exact stats, how much they weigh, how tall they are, what they did last week in X game, how big their penis is, how much they would like to suck it, what they "should" have done that play, and how much better of a coach they would be than that "dumbass" coaching the team. I could go on and on about the obssession with these guys in a tight ass uniform but I won't you hear it every fucking five seconds but they could care less about whats going on in the world and are zombies to a game that the actual "football players" wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, yet you pay 25000$ for box seats to your local University so you can go watch them play a stupid cocksucking game. /rant off

I've never met anyone who couldn't throw a football five yards unless it was based on age (very young or old) - and the closest I come to knowing a "has been" is a former college player who plays in an Australian league and coaches high school, but isn't delusional enough to think he should have been in the NFL.

At least baseball you have to do multiple things other than be a fatass and block someone with a set of gear. Baseball you have to be able to catch the ball, throw the baseball, and/or hit the fucking thing going 100 mph.

You should probably choose a sport that you actually watch. The DH on an AL team only has to be able to hit, usually can't field for shit, and most DHs in history run slowly. Generally a team has a couple players who are good in the field, but horrible hitters - Ordonez, Rey. They balance that out with good hitters who aren't very effective in the field - Murphy, Daniel. Pitchers are almost always very poor hitters, and only a few hit 100MPH regularly. In fact, the average is somewhere around 92MPH for fastballs - and keep in mind that's not the only pitch most guys throw.

Yeah I get sick of how OBSESSED people are with football players. Knowing their exact stats, how much they weigh, how tall they are, what they did last week in X game, what they "should" have done that play,

Statheads are far more prominent in the baseball fan population. Go over to the OOTP boards sometime. It's ridiculous. (But a great baseball sim if anyone here likes that kinda thing)

And yeah I know. Too long, didn't read. Blah blah.

Sports are great but society worships football and it's bad. Just look at the Penn State Scandal.

Nerds don't like it, the kinds of guys that don't like sports but might be interested in videogames becoming a sport.

I haven't yet met a guy that didn't like sports - any sport not just football - who wasn't a massive dork. Even semi-dorky guys like some sports at least some of the time.

What's sad is you don't need an excuse to do these things. You can do them anytime without reason. Again, let me point out the difference between spectating and engaging in an activity. Watching television is not engaging.

To spend your time with your friends listening to fucking retards like Terry Bradshaw and formerly John Madden talking about what you've just seen half spoils it in my opinion.

What's actually sad is you decided to quote only a tiny bit of his post, but his entire post, while attempting to derail and take away from its meaning, is 100% nail on the head.

You're saying that hanging out with people and watching a game is less engaging than sitting in a dark room playing EQ? I get it though, the way you use the word "engaging" is determined by how many hours you put into something. See, what that's called is OBSESSION. You're using the wrong word.

Look, I hate football and love EQ but you sound like the ultimate Neckbeardian of Norrath with this garbage. I like watching the UFC, but I won't go and fight because I'm not a fighter. However, I enjoy being a fan.

This is straightforward logical stuff for regular people, but you've got gargantuan beta males such as yourself that are so into yourself and what you do on a personal level and everyone else who finds excitement in other things must be deluded.

What's awesome is that even fat 80-year-old women can be decent at it if they can move just a little and got the skills.

Honestly dude, you're coming on here saying that you should actively play in a sport as opposed to watching it, and you're on here talking about fuckin' pickleball.

You're a clown. You could probably watch 3 games of football and win a game of pickleball even if you starved yourself. Congrats. Go play a taxing sport before you start slinging shit like that around. And i'm not talking about like when you played the bench in high school.

The only sports I have a slight interest in occasionally watching are the ones that I regularly play - tennis, table tennis, pickleball, and golf.

Pickleball is pretty taxing in a good match.

Yeah I like UFC too - maybe I just hate team sports.
