NFL is really the only short I pay close attention to these days.. nothing more really.

Agreed. I only really pay attention to football and soccer these days. I used to pay close attention to college basketball, but not as much anymore. Maybe that'll change once I actually go to college. :p

I actually keep tabs on American football (college and pro), basketball (college and pro both genders), ice hockey(college both genders and pro), indoor lacrosse, and baseball. Mostly because in these sports I have a locally based team in the race. Soccer I'd pay more attention to if there were an MLS club here, but there's not and the local pro team (sits in USSL's Division 1 right now) plays in a stadium that's over 50 miles away.

I guess that was the reason behind Speed was, wasn't it? Anything and everything motorsports? They even showed movies about racing on that channel. Days of Thunder, 3, etc.

Well, Speed wasn't NASCAR's own channel, though, that's the thing. If it were, it would probably only have shown "NASCAR! NASCAR! NASCAR!" 24/7.

I realize that. Haha. I don't know, maybe NASCAR isn't that big enough to have its own channel. Maybe I'm over exaggerating a little.

I never payed attention to any sport really, besides football (European kind, not handegg!) and tennis sometimes. I like to watch it, but it has close to zero coverage here so it's hard to follow it.

I vehemently refuse to use the word "soccer".

 

[Morgnarok]

I don't pay attention to any sports except wrestling and even that I only watch I don't really take it serious anymore due to the fact that a lot of it is a set up and rigged. It isn't like it used to be in the old days.

Americans call it soccer. They always have as far as I know. I don't think that'll change for the USA lol

Well we have two entirely different namings for them here in the Netherlands

Lmao I've never heard that term. It makes sense though, though it's kind of derogatory. I love it!!

 

[Tsutarja]

Obviously that is consider advertisement, so that may be the reason why its not trending :P

Oh really? How long does NFL last per game? 6 hours? NASCAR usually takes 3-4 hours, depending on cautions and weather conditions.

Didn't we discuss the reason why we call it football before in this exact thread? lol Like, we call it football because the ball is a foot long?

Foot... Another term that Americans also use that almost no other country uses. (in terms of measurement)

 

[donavannj]

It's because commoners played it, and all games played by commoners were played on foot rather than on horseback. Therefore it became known as football. If it had been invented on horseback, we might have called it horseball or something!

Horses tackling horses? Now that would've been a spectacle to see!

PS: Wouldn't have had my 1,000th post in any other thread than this one. <3 rambling on with you guys.

That's like...the other way around, Sector. xD A football game lasts 4-4.5 hours or so.
