OT: why football is better than American football
Because it uses the ball with the shape God choose for the Universe

That's not a football shape, it's a soccer ball.

Re: OT: why football is better than American football
Actually my favorite sport is Baseball, but that's another topic.
So Soccer should be renamed Headball? Kneeball? Chestball? Maybe, "Everything but your hands, unless you are the goalie and then you can use your hands too, Ball" I saw all those being used in a soccer game once. Right before I fell asleep that is.

Actually, with all the penalty delays, video replay for disputed ref call delays, commerical break time outs, ad infinitum ad nauseam, we can't really use the "boring" argument against soccer anymore.  |
