thats because its very hard for you to understand. Its not your fault, blame your teachers.

my teachers didn't teach about any sport, i picked up what i was interested in. i played soccer when i was a kid, the whole time i felt like it was a 3 legged race.

im not knockin anyone who watches it, the whole concept of it is lame to me though.

athlete who is in the top ten premiere events make the most $ off of endorsements and appearances, now compare all that to all of the other professional sports in the world and that aint shyt:sadcam:
well thats true for every sport that isnt a major revenue sport. I dont get what you are saying here.

top level cricket players make more money than NFL players. And top level F1 drivers make more money than anyone. What are you saying?

my teachers didn't teach about any sport, i picked up what i was interested in. i played soccer when i was a kid, the whole time i felt like it was a 3 legged race.
