Rugby > Hand Egg

[Mael]

Sig check.



Sup, fellas.

[CtrlF4]

looks tougher cuz of the speed

[Fart]

i'm sure they are, you just need international channels or a sports package with them

[Witty]

Rugby sucks major donkey dick tbh but everything about American Football is just corny to me...how commercialized it is, the names, the commentators, the majority of the fans...it just makes me cringe.

Here's the thing tho, it is far more entertaining for the average guy as an experience to watch American Football than almost any other sport, not specifically because of the sport itself but because of the packaging it comes in, because it is DESIGNED not just to be a sport programme but also to be a visual spectacle...Americans do visual spectacles better than anyone, and this is just another example....it is a sport but also an entertainment programme, there are other aspects to it than just the sport....we don't really do that, we just get the sport.

[Fart]

cool

NBC Universal is the only channel in america that televises rugby. and you have to buy it separate

[Seyance]

you stop the game to go to a commercial break, that says it all.

[Witty]

Pretty sure fox show rugby too.

Btw imo basketball is by farrr the best American sport, I could watch it all day, I have huge respect for the game.

Which is the most popular sport in america?

I hope it isn't baseball, that is a zzzz fest, it belongs in the same category as cricket and golf...boring shit.

[Fart]

fox does not
espn doesnt either LOL
Quidditch>rugby

[CtrlF4]

world series of poker>rugby lol

[Witty]

I just looked it up and found an entire schedule of rugby that is shown on fox.

Will post once I get home.

Also, I love how you base it off what is shown in America...majority rules, rugby easily wins in that regard. Rugby is huge in a number of countries worldwide...American football is huge in America. Just because your country prefers it does not mean you are right, cuz pretty much every other country disagrees with you. If we put this to a worldwide vote, which is unrealistic but would be the only way to settle it, rugby would win by quite a large margin.

I was just scanning this thread.....dont really care about thos.topic at all its just europe vs america....which i mean....who cares...?

But

America is the entertainment capital of the world....so wouldnt it be fair to say that our vote in a worldwide vote would weigh quite a bit more heavily then others?

if i'm the richest man in the country does my vote weigh more than someone on welfare?

no.

and i have been very unbias in this thread, i came in calling it a dumb thread for a start. if you believe that you cannot see things without bias then you are not very intelligent and find disconnecting opinion from fact impossible.

ok lets start with this first sentence of your post.

you answered wrong. a rich persons vote means more than a poor persons. not on paper. but the rich person can help fund the campaign of the dude/thing he is voting for

thats how democracy works in the world. rich people push there money around to get richer

but thats besides the point.

a few posts ago, you stated the NFL stops games to play commercials. that is a blatant lie. the game never stops for commercials. the game is stopped when it goes to commercials.

if it is a change of possession, it will go to a commercial. if there is a timeout. it will go to commercial. if a play is being challenged and reviewed, it goes to a commercial. if someone is injured. it goes to commercial

in all of those instances, play is stopped already. you are wrong.

admit it.

now witty, good sir. you claim something is televised, when it isnt. i can go to bangbros.com. but that doesnt mean im a member. i have to pay to watch that pornography.

in order to watch rugby, you have to pay for special channels.

therefore it isnt televised.

we have been saying that the super bowl is televised in your country. you don't need to purchase a special channel for it. therefore a game of american football IS televised in your country.

you claimed football isnt entertaining to you, after saying it is probably the most entertaining sport to the average person. which doesnt make sense to me, but you are entitled to your opinion.

i'm not saying american football is the best sport. i am simply defending the sport from all of your guys ignorant statements.

these are all facts.

just read the thread.

post it up

its probably fox sports 34592

because there are a million sports channels you can BUY. no rugby is on regular tv, or basic cable, or even with a bottom level sports package

i think its funny you like BASKETBALL, when basketball is the sport that is pure hollywood nonsense

football only goes to commercial after change of possessions, and timeouts

they don't stop the game to go to commercial, the game is stopped.

football is entertainment, because it is ENTERTAINING. it isnt like soccer. where they just run around for forever and maybe score once or twice.

you are really saying football sucks because its entertaining lmao

but yo, football is the biggest sport in america. not sure which is next, either basketball or baseball

I just said it was possible to watch rugby in america, because he clearly stated it was not, that was untrue...I don't care what you people watch.

And I like the sport of basketball more, the game itself, I'm not a fan of the commercial side either, I just find it more entertaining as a sport. I never said the game of football sucks, I could watch it cuz I could watch any sport, I have seen games and enjoyed them, but there are some things about it that I don't like, I'm just arguing the opposite side because I don't think it's as good as most of you do, if you look I haven't criticized it at all, I prefer it to rugby as a sport, it is everything that comes with it I find corny, the commercial breaks every few minutes, the commentators, the names, the fans...maybe we are just used to seeing different things from sports.

And if you think a game that stops every few minutes or whatever is more entertaining than a freeflowing basically uninterrupted, end to end game then goodluck to ya, you are wrong tho.

[uh-oh]

the game isnt interrupted ever

the game goes to commercial when the game itself is stopped. its never stopped just for commercials.

you said a couple posts ago that the nfl is more entertaining to the average guy than any other sport

he said there are no televised rugby matches

there aren't. you need to buy special packages to have it televised

So, it is televised?

I don't understand how that means it isn't televised, just cuz u have to pay for it, if course you do it's a minority sport.

Also i never said it stopped to go to commercial break, i know it is part of the game, its just part of the game i dont like, there are parts of every sport i dont like. And when I said entertaining I meant the programme, the packaging of an american football game is probably entertaining to most people, the sport is what they don't like, and I've had this conversation with people here, cuz I'm the opposite...the game is cool, I can watch it, but the way it is presented and everything that comes with it as part of the experience of a game is really corny to me. Difference in what sport you enjoy is just taste and culture, and that is dumb to argue about, I enjoy sport mainly for the competition anyway, I will watch most sports just cuz I'm curious about who will win, even if I know nothing about it, but arguing about which is better as a sport is beyond stupid, mainly cuz nobody has ever won that argument and it will never end while there are still sports in the world, and also cuz they are different things, it's like arguing about which is better between a banana and an orange, they're just different fucking things that you either like or you don't...apart from golfers, golfers are not athletes, golf is not a sport it is hitting things with a stick and walking, that is not entertainment, these faggots should not be on tv.

Btw 'soccer' is crazily commercialized too, and I don't like that either, it just doesn't seem as persistent and blatant and it doesn't interrupt my enjoyment of the game.

not on american FOX, there isn't. Like I said...you need to buy a package

and american football is played in canada as well as mexico and used to have its own league in europe which they want to bring back within a couple years due to the overwhelming success of the two very shitty games played there this year
