Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

i tried to watch a baseball game once and soon realised it was like cricket, it was at that time i had to use the toilet and looked in the mirror and realised my eyes were bleeding from boredom!!!! :D

NASCAR is boring if your watching it for the race, you need to be watching it in the anticipation of a major crash, then its exciting.:thumbsup:

Go.... Roughriders!

When I lived in Soho in London, there were ads for Roughriders condoms all over the place. Apparently my local team named itself after extra-thick gay jonnies!

...and then you get the whole stadium singing YMCA, complete with arm motions, in the warmup before the game, apparently without any hint of irony.

What a strange country we live in!

Its a cool game to watch live......its better than US Football thats for sure..........;)

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

i actually like American football, i guess you really need to understand the rules before you can enjoy it though because it took me the best part of 4 years to finally get into it.

It's like they still play Gary Glitter "Come On Come On" to get the kids up in the crowd dancing.

I just sit there and shake my head.

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

So you're the one who is the gap in the crowd when everyone else is doing "the wave"..........

Admittedly, the Nat Anthem is a bit OTT though.........

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

Are you saying we all don't like American Football because we're too stupid to understand the rules?!?

Well, are you? ;) :rofl:

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

It's not the rules, it's the continual stop start lasting 4 hour nature of the sports over here that get on my tits...

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

i didnt say anyone was too stupid to understand the rules, maybe not taken the time to learn them, i just like the game, some may not, but i think its great.

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

I like football. I learnt the main rules fairly quickly, it's hardly rocket science.

Re: Why do Brits hate baseball?
 

I'm so glad you're not calling me stupid (it was a joke, by the way).

If we assume that the gorillas that play the game actually know the rules, they've got to be pretty damned simple!
