America doesn't really have a grasp on what is going on in the world which is why they think they are the best at everything. It's like China believing they're the greatest country ever Hell even your roidfueled meatmonster sport of American Football is way less entertaining and cool than classic rugby

Average weight is up like 20kg on ten/twenty years ago when the game was fun and exciting. At least American football has some big hits to liven it up.

American Football has nothing. I tried watching it and it was just insanely boring. Long stretches of nothing followed by some guy running 5 meters followed by nothing

Honestly most American Athletes probably couldn't even compete in Soccer. drat near every American sport is filled with breaks and stoppages and time where players can sit on the bench and relax. Soccer, they gotta be on the field for 45 minutes and only a couple players can even get substituted during the game. I guess some basketball players could probably deal with it, but even then they spend most of their games on the sidelines. I do believe that American fans could totally get to the violence level that some soccer fans internationally are able to achieve though. So there is hope.

AJ Foyt, noted fat man and race car driver, went to Le Mans once, and won the race. He said it wasn't too bad, for a country road. He never went back. America rules get hosed rest of the world

I like the American high school/college sports system as you lot put a lot of time and money into improving performances and at least pretend to care about the kids, which beats the Euro sweatshop system of drafting in thousands of kids to battle it out for professional contracts from the time they're 8. Even the biggest, most-storied academies let the kids figure basic things like nutrition themselves (the coaches being mostly ex-pros from the 70s and 80s to thick too work with adults). They live out of vending machines, and most are drunk and drugged up by 16. It's a bizarre survival of the fittest ritual.

People mock the poo poo out of American premier league plastics, including on these very forums. They’re extremely mockable tbf. Look at the weekend web thread in TRP. I mean basically it all stems from how the club game in England has utterly sold out over the last thirty years and gone from being a local community driven thing for piss drunk poor as gently caress Englishmen to publicly kill each other over on a weekend, to being worldwide megabucks marketing juggernaut for .00001% gazillionaires from wherever to sell shirts to the Americans/third worlders and prawn sandwiches to the handful of unfeeling bouge who can still afford tickets. You can’t mock the gazillionaires because they don’t give a gently caress what you think, but you can sure mock the Americans/third worlders.

This right here is the main reason why soccer is so dumb and bad, they are all lightly jogging around to conserve their energy. Why would you not want the athletes to sub in and out so that everyone on the field/pitch/ice is going 100% all the time? How is it supposed to be a positive thing about your sport that you can play a whole game without even needing to rest?

Let's make the goal 3x the size and the pitches smaller as well to make things easier for the poor players. Wouldn't want something like athleticism to play a part in sport now, would we.

let's make it much much smaller and have all the players run through with metal poles so fans on the sides of the stadium can move and twirl them around to block and kick the ball

poo poo sorry I’m late guys. Is there still time for me to defend my favorite sport full of millionaires and poo poo on another sport full of millionaires? I would’ve been here sooner but I was busy defending/attacking (you pick) other corporate interests that only see me as potential revenue
