Only sport that can hold my attention start to finish is MotoGP. I watch football once they get into the season but it's more of an excuse to drink beer and have hot wings :blessed: I used to watch basketball but it seems boring now, just not as athletic or strategic as football IMO. I do like to play basketball though

Yeah, I know what you saying man. I don't eat meat or drink alcohol, so that's maybe why I can't get into football. Also, I'm watching a soccer game now first time watching it. I'm loving what I'm seeing thus far. Might got a new sport I can watch. To me, Soccer is the REAL football. Plus, it's fast paced too.

I cant fukk with soccer mayne. 2 hours waiting for something to happen. To me football has the perfect pace. Basketball it's almost like the points don't mean anything. Soccer its like the points are an accident. Football :blessed:

Everyones got their things though. Dont feel bad

The way I got into football is looking at it like it's chess. Sounds nerdy as fukk but watching it with that mindset makes football like 20x more exciting to watch. The coaches are like the chess player and every player on the field is like a chess piece with different assignments trying to progressively get the ball to the end zone while the defense try to prevent this from happening. It's weird but I guess that's just how my brain works. I love foooseball :ohlawd:

I felt the same way but I'm a share with you how I tricked myself into being into football.

I started to have a vested interest in it financially. When the new season started I joined a fantasy football league with money on the line. The idea of wanting to win the whole pot made me want to start learning about players, teams, playstyles, etc. etc. So in an effort to win it all I picked up a heavy interest on watching games on sunday involving my players or my opposing teams players. After a while of doing that you start to gather a routine and become more organically interested in the internal workings of the league as a whole. Try it next season and see if that helps you get interest.

Yea im not big into sports either. I don't have a favorite team. Just watch the b-ball playoffs and the superbowl that's about it. I like martial arts, boxing, wrestling, music, tv shows, movies etc. Or just stepping outside.

It's not necessarily peer pressure because I don't feed into it. Anyway, people told me I should watch football this season because of the storylines and shyt :ld: I'm gonna be honest I just watch football once a year, basically the Superbowl. I don't know if it's kinda weird as a Black man to not get into football, but I kinda can't. For me, I guess I just like fast paced action. That's why I like Hockey and Basketball. Which I'm kinda following this season. Anyway, why should I watch football? Like what exactly am I missing out on :ohhh:


People in school thought I was weird because I didn't join the football team. I tried out one year just to get p*ssy :lolbron: I regret not being on the basketball team though.

you are missing out on watching a violent chess game with real people as the pieces. Its a great game.

We all have our own tastes in sports. How you feel about football is pretty much how I feel about college sports. I just could never get interested in them despite all the hype, even March Madness. IMO there are too many teams to keep track of, and nothing but a bunch of no-name players compared to the pros. I watch sometimes when I'm desperate, but otherwise, I'm looking for something else on TV. I'd even watch a hockey game before I'd watch college basketball or college football.


Man somebody get this nikka the fukk out of here. You don't fukk with the greatest sport of all time. :camby:

Any sport that doesnt involve combat is fakkitry. Combat sports are real sports dating back to the beginning. Watchimg grown ass swole men chase balls is :scusthov:

I disagree.

Yes, combat sports were the original sports, but there is a problem........severe injury and/or death. So non-combat sport was brought into being as a less deadly form of competion. I may be slightly off about his historically wise, but not completely.

Imagine going to the World Cup, and the loosing team has to give up their heads. That's some Aztec shiit that is not necessary.
