AF ball? is tougher on your body than soccer
I couldn’t really read that but from what I see you are saying baseball sucks because there are a lot of games to watch… that is bad? Also you are saying we suck because the rest of the world doesn’t like our sports… well guess what? We don’t really care and? actually, a large part of the world plays baseball and basketball. Also you are an idiot, Bieber is Canadian.
Careful with the terminology. American are Mexicans, Canadians, people from Brazil, Chile, Argentina and El Salvador who all live in America, the continent.
And yes, there is ignorant people all? around the world, not only in the United States.
And they say Americans are ignorant…-_-
So you’re hating on 2 sports that are in American tradition, that obviously you have no idea about. And then you’re getting mad at us for a bunch of mainstream artists that are not like this because of America, but because of money. Like we? haven’t had a ridiculous amount of great American artists. You just seem angry and judging Americans while I guarantee you’ve never even been to the other side of the pond.
And Bieber is Canadian. Go fuck yourself.
Yeah…no. America was heavily influenced by England. Americans do NOT have a European mentality. And honey Americans are no ones, as? you put it so crudely, “bastard/bitch/slave.” Does mommy know you have a potty mouth?
I’d like to apologise to any and all? Americans who stumble accross this borderline incoherent diatribe from one of my fellow Europeans.
and it is football,? not soccer.
it is called champions league, and it is more watched than superbowl in the united states of arseholes, u mean europa league, in the entire world, the champions league final is watched worldwide by more people than superbowl, hand-egg is no where near as good as football, they havent got to think, it is throw, catch and run, in football there is a lot more running, thinkinag and no padding, same? in rugby, now if that isn’t enough to make u think, then u are a genuine aluminium retard.
It did evolve into an actual game.? But you can quit being sarky.
If only American Football had evolved into an actual game.? Then, perhaps, John wouldn’t be quite so sarky about it
This video should be titled, John Cleese’s rediculous rant.
John Cleese: Why do? American’s insist on calling it Soccer?
Because John, the word Soccer is short for Association Football, that your country coined the term back in the 1800′s. Our sport is called American Football, because it evolved from Rugby Football, thus belonging to the Football codes; Association Football, Rugby Football, Gaelic Football, Australian Rules Football, etc. Learn your history of Football before ranting, John.
What does it matter if one sport has more viewers than another sport? Why care about that? That doesn’t prove that one sport is superior to another or that the other sport is any less fun to play. No such thing as a superior sport. People will like what they like. It’s purely subjective and preference oriented. Sure, Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, but it’s a very old sport too. Had plenty of time to spread across? the world and bind with cultures.
Wrong, the champions league final pulls more viewers than the superbowl ad the final isn’t even the most watched annual game in Europe El Classico, united v liverpool, arsenal and city pull more? viewers than the superbowl.
