    Last I checked wow fans didn't riot cause their arena team lost. Difference between league and union is after a tackle in league they reset the lines and roll the ball back to start a new play and you only get so many tackles before a turnover (similar to American football). Union doesn't stop play after a tackle and can keep going. That's the main difference.

    I find all sorts of sport horribly boring.

    Well watching them on tv, that is.

    Not that I even own a TV, but you get the idea.

    Why lie? If you don't like something. Don't lie about it.

    You mean soccer, and im a huge sports fan but soccer is the one sport I cannot seem to get interested in at all, its beyond boring and it doesnt even come close in excitement level to anything else ever. Granted thats my opinion lol.

    I think soccer players are tremendous athlete's with great skill but the game is boring as hell for me to watch. The only sport I enjoy watching is American football for the strategy and violence involved. I don't like basketball, baseball or hockey.

    It's a different experience, playing a game and watching someone play a game is very different. Much as playing a sport and watching a sport.

    Any other people here suffer similar whilst growing up?
    If its friends you enjoy spending time with, you should accept the invitation, even if you dont care about the game. Else you will soon find yourself not invited.

    Thats when you say that England actually sucks at football and you need to into a real sport, something that actually takes skill and strategy and american football rules make so much more sense than football penalty cards do. Then you tell them they must cheer for the Raiders.

    Now NFL teams have to travel to London at the expense of having less home games in the U.S.

    Now, I have to wake up at 9 in the morning this season just to watch my Bengals thrash the Redskins.

    That is the NFL trying to popularise the game in the UK, they have been trying to do it for years and are failing miserably. American football is far too slow in comparison to proper football and the two rugby codes.

    I don't judge a sport by its worst fans or by the people who are purely in it for the fighting, but sure, feel free do that if you want to.

    Sounds like growing up in Wales and Rugby. Only at least this last few weeks everyone in Wales became a football fan when they realised we weren't that shit anymore. My dad was big into Rugby (he played for Wales youth even) and Motorsports such as F1 and Rallying, infact my dad used to have a Mini Cooper Rally car and did some amateur Rallies.

    So pretty much growing up I thought my dad was the greatest Rally driver alive and the best Rugby player. I don't care for Rugby, definitely don't care for Football but Motorsports really hooked me in when I was young and I still love it. I wouldn't say Motorsports seems that popular though, most people that I know and the rest of my family have only a passing interest in it at best.

    Why would I do that? I aren't going to torture myself for 3hrs because I was invited. Besides my friends know I don't do football
