Bob: I like baseball.
Dave: How can you like baseball? Football is better!
Bob: O there's different reasons, strategy, timing, etc.
Dave: But football has those things plus tackling!
Bob: I know, I like football and think it's cool. I watch and play it sometimes, but I mostly prefer baseball.
Dave: Your weak for liking baseball, there's no tackling. Everyone should watch and play football.
Bob: Geez, I mean I just like baseball. Why can't I like baseball? It doesn't affect football at all, watch and play football it's great i like it too.
Dave: I'm going to demand baseball tickets cost ten times more than football tickets, that way you'll watch football instead.
Bob: Why would you do that? Why isn't it ok for me to watch baseball and be happy? I'm not going to like football more because you made me pay more for baseball, that makes no sense.
Dave: I'm going to loosen the bleachers in the baseball stadium, that way it will be dangerous for you to go to baseball games. That way you'll go to football games, and you'll see, you'll like it better.
Bob: I already know how I feel about football and I like baseball, wtf, why would you do this crap we can both have what we want? Ruining baseball will just make less sports fans.
Dave: I like football. |

You need to change the title of the thread...football is a sport played around the world, with a round ball and two goals. The secret of course is in the name; foot...ball - you kick the ball with your foot.
I assume your less than funny thread was talking about AMERICAN football - maybe it should have it's name changed to "Bounty Ball"

I'd hate to think what we'd call it if we didn't refuse to use the metric system. roughly-a-third-meterball? |

We all knew it was going to happen, the question was when. My bet was within 5 post of the OP and the other guy did 10.
Edit: Crap he was #7 which makes him 6 post. Damn. |

by George Carlin Baseball is different from any other sport, very different. For instance, in most sports you score points or goals; in baseball you score runs. In most sports the ball, or object, is put in play by the offensive team; in baseball the defensive team puts the ball in play, and only the defense is allowed to touch the ball. In fact, in baseball if an offensive player touches the ball intentionally, he's out; sometimes unintentionally, he's out.
Also: in football,basketball, soccer, volleyball, and all sports played with a ball, you score with the ball and in baseball the ball prevents you from scoring.
In most sports the team is run by a coach; in baseball the team is run by a manager. And only in baseball does the manager or coach wear the same clothing the players do. If you'd ever seen John Madden in his Oakland Raiders uniform,you'd know the reason for this custom.
Now, I've mentioned football. Baseball & football are the two most popular spectator sports in this country. And as such, it seems they ought to be able to tell us something about ourselves and our values.
I enjoy comparing baseball and football:
Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game. Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.
Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park.The baseball park! Football is played on a gridiron, in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium.
Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life. Football begins in the fall, when everything's dying.
In football you wear a helmet. In baseball you wear a cap.
Football is concerned with downs - what down is it? Baseball is concerned with ups - who's up?
In football you receive a penalty. In baseball you make an error.
In football the specialist comes in to kick. In baseball the specialist comes in to relieve somebody.
Football has hitting, clipping, spearing, piling on, personal fouls, late hitting and unnecessary roughness. Baseball has the sacrifice.
Football is played in any kind of weather: rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog... In baseball, if it rains, we don't go out to play.
Baseball has the seventh inning stretch. Football has the two minute warning.
Baseball has no time limit: we don't know when it's gonna end - might have extra innings. Football is rigidly timed, and it will end even if we've got to go to sudden death.
In baseball, during the game, in the stands, there's kind of a picnic feeling; emotions may run high or low, but there's not too much unpleasantness. In football, during the game in the stands, you can be sure that at least twenty-seven times you're capable of taking the life of a fellow human being.
And finally, the objectives of the two games are completely different:
In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! - I hope I'll be safe at home! The Unified Inventory system for Inferno, which I would recommend everybody tryon SiSi, is going to be the next 'Door' for CCP. What it adds is worthless when we lose so much functionality.-á |

No, I believe the prevailing rule system is Lithuanian Hand Egg - the American version is simply too obscure. |

I've played them both. Football is the only game I've played where I almost had my neck broken twice, wound up on crutches for 12 weeks, and have residual weather aches starting from every broken toe and ending with what may have been several undiscovered concussions. It was fun getting these.
Baseball, however, is the only game where the coach said, "Look like you're doing something out there." I've actually fallen asleep in centerfield before. Luckily, I wound up at first base where I caught the ball a lot. The most exciting moment I had playing baseball was when I smashed the windshield out of a car with a fly ball.
Basketball is the game. The other two I played to stay in shape for basketball. If you play hoops, you got game. Don't fight it.-á Rejoin your Amarrian patriarchs.-á You know you want to. |

Daniel Tosh on American Football:
Stop celebrating? Their job is to catch a ball. I don't care if you get in the end zone and have a ten-minute tea party, it's a game. Just don't get mad at me when you're paralyzed from the neck down being carted off the field 'cause some free safety took your head off, and you see me in the stands going, "Ha-ha! Dance now, you overpaid clown! How does it feel to know god hates you?" |

Basketball is the superior sport. Baseball is for lazy athletes, football is for stupid athletes, and soccer is for athletes who like to run more than they like to score. |

I love when people say rugby is tougher than FOOTBALL(that's what it's called by the way..that other game that people play is called soccer) because if you took all the pads and helmets off of football players, they're would literally be killing each other. Football players are faster and stronger. Football>rugby. *smirk* Meh.. |
