Sports Fans
 

I was wondering how many sports fans are in the forum.

Depends on the type of sports.

I don't go in for the traditional sports, but I do enjoy Skateboarding, BMX, Blades and Wakeboarding.

Long live the X Games!

I only like basketball, and I can tolerate hockey. I hate everything else, especially football.

I really like hockey. Hate Basketball. But I like football its cool but would be nice to have a Toronto team in the NFL. Other sports I guess I don't mind playing but watching is another story.

Basketball and baseball are my only ones.

i'll watch anything but golf!!!!!! golf isent even a sport I should say

Aggressive Rollerblading is the only sport for me...

Basketball, baby!

GO SPURS!!!!!!! 8)

Skateboarding and Hockey.

No way I'd be caught dead playing Basketball.. That is the wussiest sport of all time!! Oh slap on the wrist..FOUL!!!

Hey I can understand you not watching golf but playing it is another story every one should play golf its a good time. Only if u have a golf place near you that won't get you in trouble. Me and my friends go do dounuts and **** in the golf carts and do alot of other fun stuff.

I love soccer! If I think about it the only country in the world which does not are the U.S... :lol:

I like all sports but not skateboarding, rollerblading, BMX, ect..(If you call those sports :roll: )

Words of truth.

I like the extreme sports, rollerblading, skateboarding, and bmx. I think golf is ok (but I can't stand Tiger Woods). Everything else I like.

Who can stand TIger Woods. That is cool TMNT571 I bet the donuts and stuff must be fun.

Hockey is my favorite sport. I like football but I'm pretty oblivious to all the rules and plays and what not. I hate basketball and baseball. Golf is awesome to play but the worst sport to watch ever. As for the Extreme Sports...well...after Tony Hawk games came out there's been way too many posers out there, who may be good on their PS2 but suck beyond belief in real life. I've kinda gone sour on all the extreme sports now because of the surge of posers.

Yeah the posers go down the street with their skate boards and can't even do a kick flip or ollie. :lol: Why try to be someone or something you are not?

HOCKEY!!! *pulls out her stuff* Anyone? Anyone??! :lol:

FOOTBALL

Can anybody guess my favorite team?
Wierd considering I'm a native Memphian huh?

*ruffles his hair*
Sorry Zane, My team's the Titans. :D :D

SOCCER! or maybe in Israel we should call it Bushido... we're not playing by the rules... too many fouls :P

and i love to watch baseball, although we don't have this kind of sport in Israel

That dosn't bother me considering since Titans existed they have never beat the Dolphins once... not even in Pre-season :D :D :D HEHE
Sorry

Yep, guess so...I suppose you don't have to be brave to risk getting smacked on the face by an opponent's elbow, or falling on the floor, maybe tearing a few muscles, or accidentally running into someone on the court thus knocking the wind out of you.

Yep, truly a "wussy" sport.[/sarcasm]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Sheesh, you crack me up.

Your basis for this feeling?

I agree with Reznorite, basketballs not a "wussy" sport, it does get physical sometimes.

Well I don't like baseball because it's too boring. I don't like basketball because I just feel like most players are babies. Just my personal feelings. Sorry to ruffle your feathers. I do in fact think basketball is a "wussy" sport. That thought was around with me for quite a while but was brought out in full force when I saw two things. The first being the player throwing a broom at another player. Just pathetic. The other seeing a player getting poked in the eye and then needing to be carried off the court.

I have never seen a player get poked in the eye and then have to be carried off. You think throwing a broom at another player is pathetic, what about hockey fights, theres always fighting, thats pathetic.

How is fighting pathetic. Everyone wants to see it and it makes it even funer. Yes it may get violent at times but still. Everyone enjoys a good fight and I agree with Mikey as basketball being a "wuss" sport. But that is my opinion.

How is straight out fighting pathetic? Hockey is the single biggest sport played with raw emotion. Aggression is a huge part of hockey. When two guys drop the gloves it isn't pathetic. Through out the game they probably jawed at each other. They were probably slashing each other with their sticks. They don't like each other. They want to win a fight. I gets the team motivated. That isn't pathetic. What IS pathetic is picking up a broom and throwing it at somebody. And yes I DID see a player get poked in the eye and be carried off the court. My friend (who's huge into basketball) told me to turn on the game because I'd like what I saw. Well there was some player laying on the court holding his eye, his team mates carrying him off the court. Who it was, I don't know. What team he played for, I don't know. Quite frankly I don't care. It may have been the only time it happened. I don't know that either. I'm Canadian, there for I enjoy physical sports more. I'd rather watch someone get a puck moving 60 mph slam into their eye, get stiched up, and go back on the ice 5 minutes later. Not some show off he tries to be tough and then whines about getting slapped. Just my opinion.

So you think throwing a broom is bad, but you think fighting is just fine??? Hell, theres no point in arguing with you two, you're both Canadian.

Fighting is a part of hockey. It is not a part of basketball. And throwong a broom is unsportsmanship. Just like injuring someone by swinging a stick at them like happened before in the NHL. Fighting is ok becuase the people that get into fights more than likely pissed off the other player and they want to see who is better. And just because we are Canadian makes no difference. Hockey is a big sport in US too. Fighting is not pathetic and a broom is just unsportsmanlike. You are arguing because you like basketball but come on. A broom? That is just stupid and unsportsmanlike. But fighting is part of hockey and always will be.

Being Canadian does matter because most of them love hockey. Throwing a broom is "unsportsmanlike" but "fighting because your pissed off" is unsportsmanlike too.

No it's not because it's a PART of the game! You've obviously never played a hockey game. I've played basketball and I never got very angry while other players whooped me. In hockey you can get REALLY pissed. Players hit you. Players mouth off to you. You actually begin to hate people. That's what hockey is all about. Pure emotion. There HAS to be fighting. If fighting wasn't allowed then players would elbow others in the face all the time, they'd be swinging thier sticks at each others heads. Fighting, believe it or not, is for the saftey of the players.

So thats what hockeys all about, hating and fighting????

What? Where did you get hating? Never mind. I give up. They don't hate eachother when they fight. Unless they result to stick violence and injuring someone on purpose. But whatever you want to think. Whatever you like is up to you. But just saying that the broom is stupid and not sportsmanlike and fighting is just a crowd pleasure and performance enhancer you might say.

Ok, fighting is a part of hockey. If there was no contact aloud in hockey, it would suck! Actually, it would be just like basketball! A player steals the puck, skates down the ice, gets the puck stolen, they skate down the other side, and score. Where is the fun in that? It's great to see someone going into the boards, and another player coming straight at them and smashing them through the glass. In basketball, you push someone, you get a foul. What is fun in watching that? Counting how many fouls a person gets? Sounds like a hell of a sport to watch! Hockey is Canada's biggest sport :-D Team Canada is way better than any of the other teams, like Team USA, Team Japan, etc...

In basketball, all you get to see is someone run down the court, score a basket, run back. The other team gets the ball, runs down the court, gets blocked, and the first team runs all the way back and scores again. Thats retarded.

In Hockey a team gets the puck, skates down the ice, the puck gets taken away, they go down, a fight happens, the whole arena stands on their feet cheering the 2 fighters on, one fighter kicks the **** out the other, the other gets stitches, and is back on the ice 5 minutes later.

There is NO way you can say that NBA is better than NHL. Basketball sucks, Hockey Rocks :-D

And dont be dissing all of us Canadians, just cuz your hockey teams blow.

Very well said. Way to go! GO CANADIANS!

Thats what Michaelangelo said.(about the hating)[/b]

But it is hating in a different sence. They hate each other in the game. But afterwords they will go out and have dinner with the other team and what not.
