Give me a person who prays about football or whatever over someone who unironically uses the word "sportsball" any day. also edgar I think you meant to type "Pittsburgh", not chicago (except baseball but gently caress baseball). And Michael Jordan is an rear end in a top hat.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Give me a person who prays about football or whatever over someone who unironically uses the word "sportsball" any day. Pittsburgh more like..:.. SPITtsburgh. I’m trying to remember if you guys even have a baseball team and drawing a blank, so if there is one it must suck. The Penguins I’ll grant you, they are good.

Sports that don't involve punching and kicking the opponent are boring. If you wanna watch athletes going at it, balls, sticks, etc. are superfluous.

What's best though is when the rules of the sport don't permit punching and kicking, but the players do it anyway! Thanks for making it fun for me, guys

Hockey does have that fascinating aspect to it that fights and illegal tackles are tacitly approved, but only to a certain point. So there is this set of ghost rules laid atop the written rules, much like the rest of life and society. Hockey is still boring though.

Hockey is among the top three most fun sports to watch though??? Top being basketball ofc Also I think american football is an extremely brainy sport. If you don’t know the rules then yeah it’s 90% pauses and 10% huge genetically enhanced sportmans ramming each other, but the plays are actually really cool to think out and being a skilled player requires a lot of boring thinking and on-field awareness. If you can’t enjoy basketball then you are probably insane. The whole sport is based on insanely talented and huge dudes flying around.

It's cool on an intellectual level but really I just wish they'd toss the ball away and go for a double leg take-down or something. Why abstract the struggle so much? Why must there be all these rules and equipment?

I adore sports riots. They might be both my favorite type of riot and my favorite result from a sports game. Please, destroy property and cause casualties because your local sports team won/lost. You're the real mvps  Edgar Allen Ho posted:Meet me at a game and fight me, to the death. You stupid, worthless rear end in a top hat. Just start fighting nonwhites in the parking lot.

In merry old Europe, football hooligans are closet nazis who rob stores, burn cars and beat bystanders into a coma with metal pipes because their club lost. There was an amusing story I read some time back about how some English football hooligan gang went to mix it up with Russians, and English were all middle aged and beer fat, and the Russians were 20 somethings Putin recruited to spread Russian glory. Several English hooligans suffered brain damage. gently caress you football hooligans.

There was an ancient PC strategy game called 'Hooligans: Storm over Europe' where you were given mission orders by a guy so cockney he made Guy Ritchie movies sound like Pride and Prejudice. If you failed he'd occasionally go ' you cuunnnnt'. One of my partner's mates back in her home country is so into English football hooligan culture its utterly bizarre. The first time I met him (he only speaks Hungarian, I only speak English) he said 'you English? Hooligan?' erm... No. They have a cool system to crack down on that poo poo though, fingerprint scanners on entry to stadiums- if you've been caught for being a shithead your details go on there and you ain't allowed in to certain matches such as whatever the Hungarian equivalent of say Manchester United vs Manchester City would be. Its cyberpunk in the most oddly mundane way.

I’ve been to one euro football game and it was kind of a disappointment. It was Toulouse vs Paris and my french cousins were hyping up how crazy it’d be and how there would be mobs and fights and tear gas. There weren’t.

And there's very little closeting of the nazi-ism when it's involved. It's strange places like Greece, Turkey and South America where sore losers riot and murder referees.

They don't have a proper fanbase, just modern bandwagoners.

My only knowledge of soccer hooligans comes from the movie "Eurotrip". I'm just going to assume it was a pretty realistic portrayal. Someone invited me to I think a liverpool game and tried to sell it to me talking up how everyone sings songs and all this stuff and it just sounded kind of lame to me so I made up an excuse not to go. I guess they have to manufacture some kind of excitement considering it's unlikely to come from looking at what's going on on the field.

Top level targets will not get softer than they are now, whereas retail capital will always be around to seize or destroy.

This is a carry over from another thread but I think Vaping should be banned anywhere smoking is banned, and that you should only vape in smoking areas. Nobody wants to breathe clouds of your moist mouth steam no matter what it smells like. Plus, sure we think it's healthier *now* but doctors used to tell you to switch to menthols when you had a cough so maybe let's make sure it doesn't cause like hair cancer or something before we get on our high horse? I'm a vaper btw.

If anyone honestly thinks that there is no problem with US police culture after video evidence of Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, and and and... and all those who probably didn’t get filmed... lol. Not to mention the lionization of monsters like Sheriff Joe and David Clarke.

Nobody should get a free pass to destroy their town, or steal from anyone or any establishment. we must convict cops that murder the people they are supposed to protect.
