Ole, Ole Ole Ole!

Most of my Euro friends who are actual football fans follow the game with far more knowledge than your average idiot at a bar who watches football.

I meant people who aren't fans of American football.

Anyway, most of my posts in this thread have been made with my tongue firmly embedded in my cheek. I live in Los Angeles, AKA, Latin America North. Hell, my alma mater had the best high school soccer team in the nation, coached by a guy I've known since 7th grade after the city dissovled practically every other youth sport because all anybody wanted to play was soccer. I think I can have an appreciation for soccer and still poke fun at it just like I can absofuckinlutely love American Football and still see the sillyness and, yes, contradiction in that game.

Hell, I ran competitive track and field internationally. Talk about a boring assed sport only die hard fans can enjoy, another sport Euros absolutely eat up, so I'm not going to paint a picture about how people can't appreciate the poetry in a finely placed footfall on the track just because they find it boring to watch.

Like I said, in the end, it's grown men playing boys games and getting paid stupid amounts of money for it. If that's not a reason to poke fun at it, I don't know what is.
