I hate football.

[Chovexani]

I really do.

[northzax]

1. But Joe Gibbs is back!

how can you say that? are you a terrorist or something?

[Chovexani]

3. I have no idea who that is.

I must be an unAmerican commie terraist.

[Bronco69]

2. Amen to that!

I'm right there with you! I would rather watch paint dry. :-)

[Chovexani]

5. I like paint.

It can make a room pretty.

Football? I don't get it.

[edbermac]

4. How much money did you lose today?

It must have been a bundle...:nopity:

[Chovexani]

6. Er, none.

I'm just one of those un-American commies who sees no use for football.

Wait, no. There's one good thing about it. It keeps jocks off the streets for a little while. :)

[Bobbie47]

7. me too!!!

and whats up with the 2 minute warning...they end up playing for another hour.. I hate football

[Chovexani]

9. Here's what I don't get

Why does every damn channel need to show football? Haven't these people ever heard of counterprogramming? If I didn't have a dish, I would lose my mind in the fall.

I also hate that they always go over the time it's supposed to go off. This is one of the reasons one of my favorite shows got cancelled. Stupid Fox kept pre-empting Futurama or coming in on the middle of it 'cause of stupid football. And then it just disappeared.

Stupid football.

[MrScorpio]

8. The Lions won

So, I can't disagree with you more, Chovexani

This is a good football day

[Chovexani]

10. Sure, it's a good football day

Every day this time of year is a good football day, if you're a football fan. The only good football day for me would be the day every football team got abducted by aliens.

That would be a really good day. :)

[TransitJohn]

35. You know what would be a REALLY good football day?

When Utah and BYU play each other, and the earth opens up and swallows the stadium whole, teams, fans, coaches, the works.

[Burma Jones]

11. Of course, I don't care much for:

D&D, gaming, anime, comics, reading/watching/writing fantasy & sci-fi

But then, it takes all kinds doesn't it? So, I will refrain from criticism.......

[Chovexani]

22. I had a really long diatribe written out

But I self-deleted since this seems to be the day for it. It does indeed take all kinds.

Let's just say I'm having a supremely shitty day irl, and some of it is due to football.

[Burma Jones]

36. I am sorry you are having such a crap day - go watch Totoro

you'll feel better.........

[miss_kitty]

12. i can't even work up the energy to hate football

it is so boring. and i am glad you started this thread.

i did not like sports, then i had a bf who was a total baseball fan and i liked it for a while. then my dad worked for an NBA owner, and i got him to get seats as part of his pay thing. so i liked basketball for a while. but i will never love anyone enough to take football on. i have no idea what the rules are and what stuff is in the game.

and i intend to keep it that way. :)

[Christof]

13. I love football.

Go Vikings!

[fishnfla]

14. I hate Osama bin Ladin

Football rocks!

[umtalal]

15. USC Trojans ROCK!!!

[Chovexani]

25. Um, ok

Yay condoms! :silly:

[umtalal]

27. hahaha.

[Awsi Dooger]

33. Fight On!

I'll start going to the games in a few weeks. And to think, Pete Carroll was maybe our 5th or 6th choice.

[umtalal]

34. I will be going soon. With my neighbor who is a right wing but have USC

in common.

[OneBlueSky]

16. I don't hate it . . . I don't love it . . . it just bores me . . . n/t

.

[jonnyblitz]

17. same. but I don't begrudge people their pleasures

:P

[Chovexani]

24. Me either

Notice I didn't say I hate football *fans*. Well, some of them. ;)

I just don't get it.

[DS1]

18. My new roommate is a big football fan, too bad for him the game

today put him AND his girlfriend to sleep, if I wasn't out of space on my flash card I would have taken a picture.

[curse10]

19. You aren't alone

I can't stand it

[EstimatedProphet]

20. Personally I never could get into it

I'll watch it at a stadium, but I'd rather see baseball, and then, I'd rather be participating in a sport instead of watching-fencing, aikido, katana, etc.
Watching just doesn't do anything for me for sports. Not like movies.

[Chovexani]

29. I agree.

It's not that I hate sports--I actually like sports, though I'm not the obsessive type that knows every stat, etc. I was on teams in school and did extracurricular stuff. I would rather be playing than watching, though. I think soccer is boring as hell to watch on tv (except when watching on Telemundo...the announcers are hilarious) but I had fun playing it in school. The only time I really watch sports on TV is figure skating competitions, the occasional baseball game and the Olympics. You could call me a casual sports fan.

But football is just weird. I've gone to games (every year I get dragged to the Urban League Classic b/c I have family acquaintances involved with the organization and the tickets are free). I've watched on tv. Aside from high school gym class I never really played it, but no matter how you slice it, it's just boring to me.

You seem to like the stuff I like though...I did fencing (sabre), and enjoy studying any kind of martial or sword arts. I don't really consider them sports though, they're on a totally different level IMO.

[EstimatedProphet]

31. Exactly martial arts are a different level

They're sports, but not "sports"-at least, not as defined as the average sports fan thinks. I've always wondered why, but I think it likely has to do with the lack of team elements. The average person doesn't have the context to understand a fencing bout, so it would be boring for them, and there's no interaction with other players (except the opponent) to mitigate any of thet.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

21. Good Lord

I do too. Can't stand it. I don't get in anyone's way who wants to watch it, but I thank my lucky stars I married a non-sports watching guy.

[Chovexani]

26. Hehe

My boyfriend is a sports fan, but he hates American football. He thinks it's for wusses 'cause they use padding. :P

The only thing he really goes nuts over is Aussie rules football, which I also think is boring but I don't mind it so much because the guys are cute and they have nice legs. ;)

[Meshuga]

23. Booooooo!!!

Football rules!

[happyasaclam]

28. depends which football you mean

that sissy American football, or australian football

[Chovexani]

30. Ya know

Maybe I'd like American football more if the guys were cute and wore those shorts. :P

[happyasaclam]

32. see

thats the added bonus when watching AFL, of course it isn't the reason why I watch it. :evilgrin:

[MaineDem]

37. Me too!

Yuck!!!

Especially pro football!

[sundog]

38. Me too. You are not alone. I just don't get it.

:shrug:

[Ron Green]

39. It's the perfect representation of corporate America: violent, territorial

and played against the clock. Baseball, on the other hand, is the representation of agrarian America: relaxed, played in a meadow, and played by taking turns.
