[QUOTE="chrisrooR"]I try and watch football, although my inner-Canadian will always have a love for Hockey.Natural_Genius
You canadians would say hockey, its in your genes to like hockey. But really 3 periods? Who the hell has ever heard of a game with odd number of periods? Basketball- 4 periods, Football- 4 quarters, Futbol (the rest of the world calls it that, why don't we?) 2 halves, etc. Its like when they first came up with hockey, they originally intended for it to be 4 periods, but halfway through the 3rd period, those out of shape canadians said," Ref, we can't make it another period, just end it after the third." "But then that will make the game look weird" "Ref, we are hitting a puck with sticks on ice with a guy wearing a mask that makes you think he's a serial killer, how much weirder could this game get?" Football by the way should be called Handball or Tackleball, because you hardly use your feet to play. Football > Hockey

They play for 60 minutes. What's so complicated about that?

How can you say "worse" when you're talking about Hockey and Football?

Americans also like crappy reality TV. Does that make it better than shows that get less ratings?

I like both, but hockey is by far my favourite sport.

I'm actually not surprised Football doesn't appeal to many outside the US. The whole idea of the game is a manifest destiny hard-nosed take what i want ideal that been part of American society since the beginning.

I watch it though. But i prefer Baseball. And College basketball above everything else.

I prefer hockey to American football, namely because I can't stand the breaks in action after 5 seconds of play. The fights and the actual gameplay of hockey is a lot more interesting to me. I don't get why football is so popular..the audience pays to watch "professionals" stand around for over half the game.


Personally, I would rank the major sports like this:


Tennis > Football (real football) > Hockey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> American football =Baseball=Basketball > Golf > Nascar
