Everything else aside, we do not call soccer football. Instead, ‘football’ is what we call the worst and most boring and most physically injurious sport in the entire world, known to you as American Football.
Please don’t come here only to get shot downtown trying to watch a sport we don’t care about over here.
I know this topic has passed, but I didn’t have a social media account back then.
Gridiron isn’t the most boring sport in the world. Golf holds that crown. It’s not the most physically injurious sport either. Rugby alone is approximately double the injury rate per thousand hours. There’s probably worse out there, like very probably MMA.
I forgot about the existence of golf. This is a sport for very rich people that the average person does not play.
We don’t play rugby. Most people won’t know what that is.
You were saying?
News flash: the USA isn’t the entire world.
Archery would like a word
No, with archery you get to shoot at stuff, so it’s inherently fun
spend a day at 90m, 70m, 40m, and 30m you will sing a different tune hehe
I watched Olympic archery on TV one time, it was like watching a Wii Sports Resort livestream at 0.1x speed.
Rugby is a lot safer for serious injuries because there’s less stoppage and no padding. Also there isn’t hitting involved.
Hockey is probably worse though because you can reach higher speeds and have less balance, however the slipperiness will save you from some leg injuries.
Legitimately it took DECADES after things like baseball and football and soccer were televised to figure out how to make golf watchable on broadcast, and the major tourneys basically had to overhaul large parts of their rules to make it work.
