Cowboy Action Shooting is the only acceptable sport
I'm surprised this isn't more popular given the cosplay/persona aspect of it. For those who don't know: in Cowboy Action Shooting, you don't use your real name. You use an alias and there's a lot of Western cosplay that goes on. People make their own costumes and shit. It gets pretty elaborate. I think it's pretty cool since it's a decidedly American thing (cowboys) rather than people dressing up like flavor-of-the-month anime characters.
As a huge sports fan, in America, most of the rules are relatively straight forward for our sports
Lets take Football for example: the goal is simple. you have 4 tries to get 10 yards, you get 10 yards, you get another 10 until you either fail to convert, Punt, or score. 2 major ways to move the ball by running and throwing, field goals worth 3, touchdown+extra points is 7. That's all you really need to know for a VERY basic understanding of the game. offense tries to cross the line, defense tries to stop them.
I agree with you that football's fundamentals are simple, but I'm sick and tired of the stoppage of play that happens with flags and all the goddamn rules. That's why hockey is more enjoyable: way less stoppage of play.
Soccer is faggy because of all the players taking falls and pretending to be shattered (to give everyone a breather) and Americans tend to want more action than a hard-fought midfield game with an ending score of 0-1.

Rugby I could get into, but it already looks too much like "weird american football" that people get bored when tackles are more about wrapping and tripping than freight train slamming them to the ground.

Tennis will never drop the stigma of being a "rich person's game" and the first time an American tries playing tennis they will see why. Nobody else has the time and money to get good at a game where you have to have a partner who is already good at the game to even ever see a return swing. Tried playing with my wife and every time either of us would hit the ball and it would go out of the court fence lmao
I'm glad you note why players ham it up in soccer: to get their team some time to breathe. There's very little stoppage of play in soccer, but this is jarring. I personally like the fact that games can be so close and scoring is harder since it makes those moments way more tense, but the filler in between is, indeed, boring.

Rugby is fun, but there's a rivalry between Union and League that's kinda stupid and mostly a UK class warfare thing. I think League is more fun to watch, but you're basically fucked unless you watch online streams or pay out the ass for special cable packages that have rugby.

Tennis being a rich person's sport is such an oddity to me. All you need is a racket, ball, and court. It's not nearly as expensive as, say, hockey. What I like about it is the rules are pretty much fixed, they rarely change, and acting like a nigger or a faggot gets you ejected from tournaments. There's actually an ongoing problem in the sport where players are tired of doing the circuits - they play so goddamn much that it's their entire life and they get injured a lot. The availability of games is great as a fan, but you know that a lot of those players are constantly dealing with injuries.
 
I love motorsport more than ballsport, but circle track just isn't fun to watch compared to a road course with both left and right turns. So then you can watch something like Formula 1, but it's so pozzed and eurocentric that they are working to reduce carbon emissions for the sport (while conveniently ignoring all the fuel used to deliver cars all over the world for the race in the first place). IMSA can be fun to watch and usually have multiple classes of cars racing at the same time.

America is truly worse off for losing SPEED TV. Used to watch superbike races on my lunch break RIP
 
I am, for unrelated reasons, trying to cool it with the antisemitic remarks, but you have to appreciate how your takes appear to everyone else.
If someone was looking for several good reasons to become antisemitic they wouldn't have to look further than your post history.
My takes are mostly reasonable. Good luck to anyone reading my post history but you won't find much there that can't be easily sourced.

Soccer is and always will be the faggiest sport. The only reason it's so popular around the world is because it requires virtually 0 equipment to play. I don't understand how people can watch soccer without being blisteringly drunk. It's not like Football or Rugby that require strategy. It's not like hockey where it's brutally violent. Or baseball where it's a lot of placement and planning. The closest thing is basketball but basketball has a heavy exchange of points and playmaking is a lot more entertaining than soccer. Heck, tennis is at least quick exchanges.

It's a shame that soccer, rugby, and tennis are all considered too faggy by the American public to be popular.
Rugby won't because Americans have football. Tennis is slowly rising in popularity and has a dedicated fan base.

But what is there to latch onto for soccer? It's long games where nothing happens. American audiences want gratification and there's just not a lot of that in soccer. Good plays happen, but they're so inconsistent it's easy to tune out and everything is on the fly. It's not violent. Machismo culture ain't really a thing in the states, so that goes out the window. Plus the Strategic Crying bullshit makes Americans actively hate soccer.

The far majority of Jewish voters in America support the democratic party. In your view, are they wise to do so? If they are not, what will it take to have them transfer party loyalty to the repubs?
 
Hawaii Governor Josh Green hopes either RFK or tennis player Novak Djokovic gets hit with a 160mph overhead serve (Link/Archive) because both are leery of Covid vaccines.
On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) reacted to Novak Djokovic playing tennis with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by stating, “Novak, go play tennis, hit a 160 mph serve, but stay out of public health. And I hope someone hits him with an overhead and shows him what it means to hurt somebody,” and “go back to the tennis court, definitely good luck at Wimbledon, stay out of public health.”

Host Erin Burnett asked, “So, Novak Djokovic, the tennis star, just appeared with RFK on a tennis court together. Djokovic, of course, during COVID, wasn’t even able to play in one of the tournaments because he refused to get the COVID vaccine, right? Couldn’t play in the U.S. Open. It was an Australian Open issue. And now, here they are together. When you look at these cuts now, 25% of HHS, what does that mean for something like vaccines, even, in your state, in the state of Hawaii?”

Green responded, “It’ll be harder. We have vaccine hesitancy, especially in rural communities. I love to play tennis. I was a competitive tennis player when I was young. But Novak hanging out with RFK, while good for cardiovascular health, won’t do anything to prevent the spread of AIDS with good public health advice. It won’t do anything to help parents keep their kids from getting deadly meningitis if they don’t get their vaccines. This is this kind of B.S. distraction which we expected from a guy who took the job for celebrity reasons. It is catastrophic for our healthcare system to have RFK there. And shame on Novak for cozying up to this guy. Novak, go play tennis, hit a 160 mph serve, but stay out of public health. And I hope someone hits him with an overhead and shows him what it means to hurt somebody, because that’s what it’s going to be for all these kids that don’t get vaccinated. And for all the parents that have to deal with the consequences of this vitamin A overdose. These are real issues, and these clowns are not public health people. So, go back to the tennis court, definitely good luck at Wimbledon, stay out of public health.”

"Here's why every politician has to listen to this one loud Jewish guy who calls everyone a Nazi!"?
You have every right to post your opinion, but don't complain when you get exactly the reaction you're asking for.
 
Yes, but how do you think you get people to sign up for that system? How do you think you get people to start advocating for a system like that? You have to groom them. You use arguments like the ones you made.
Yeah I said that in my post below
I don't care what communists say to convince you, it's still lies and not what communism actually is because communists can't tell you the truth because no one would go for it

The thing you can't seem to get past is that's not what communism actually is, it's what they tell you it is to groom you into it because paying people what their jobs are worth is universally appealing to everybody. The truth about Communism is universally unappealing to everybody. It's not a hard idea to get. If Marxist Communism was actually about paying hard working jobs what they're worth instead of cheating them out like what happens today in America then I would absolutely be a Marxist Communist. Funny enough, your idea the the American way is getting buttfucked by boomers, jews, and boomer jews is closer to actual communism than what the commie college professors tell you communism is.

So, I am saying your point is invalid because a system where "everyone is bugs" is the logical end step of your line of thinking, regardless of whether you understand that or not.
How would you propose you fix this? Likely with legislation, but whatever legislation you introduce will only further Communistic goals.
This is completely absurd to say paying hard manual labor a proper paycheck will lead to communist bug men in America and you are completely buck broken by American psi-ops if you truly believe that and aren't trolling. The doomer mentality that nothing can be fixed in America needs to die and it needs to die quickly. I guess we should keep hiring illegal immigrants and considering child labor to do the hard manual labor for pennies in order to protect America from the dangers of Communism.

I'm a big tennis fan and it's growing a lot in the Middle East. There was some anger among fans at the ITF and WTA taking Saudi money, but that seems to have died down. There are also some really great players from Central Asian countries now. It's definitely growing internationally.

I agree with you that soccer is kind of a "hang out, get drunk, and eat food" social sport. However, as you note, soccer is dirt cheap and easy to organize. I guess what I wish is that some competition would sprout up and get American sports (baseball, basketball, football) to get the lead out.
 
Athleticism and Sport have been popular forever, for good reason. People like to see human excellence. It is like beautiful architecture, but the building is the human body and what it can do. I wish the Olympics were more appealing somehow, I don't understand why they fell off and why no one cares about them anymore :( .

American sports are skewed toward black people now, or white liberal black worshipers. NBA has become exclusively for blacks and white college communists, super gay. NFL is becoming too millennial with Taylor Swift and all these gay dances. Baseball is awesome for the history, but watching it on TV is boring :( . Watching golf will appeal to me when I am old and need to relax. UFC and Boxing are so solved that calf kicks and counter-hitting ruined them. I should probably get into hockey, but being a fan of something Canadians worship puts me off.

I'm not going to even consider soccer, it is so flamboyant and feminine with the flops and constant whining, 1-0 matches being the norm.

College Football can be magic sometimes, but the obvious corruption that goes on to keep certain teams on top sucks the fun out of it. Michigan are fucking cheaters and should never have been allowed to win that championship.

Thread Tax: I hope the SCOTUS rejects the judge's order to return all deportees. I feel like people being made aware of these cartel criminals in country and then being forced to take them back in will lead to some gnarly responses. The judicial will either become irrelevant or cause mass unrest, because the people are being denied what they voted for.
 
Cowboy Action Shooting is the only acceptable sport
Only if you have arthritis.

CAS is a joke because everyone shoots ultra-low power ammo at static targets five feet away with lever guns modified to have an incredibly short throw. Quick draw competitions look more like limbo than showdowns.

It’s not at all in the spirit of the Old West.
 
man it's not that hard!
Football=leather oval
Basketball=wood floor, orange ball
Baseball=bat, white small ball
Soccer=big pitch, no hands.
Which one involves niggers running around a field in clownish overly colorful old-fashioned outfits with codpieces and long socks? You know, the one where the players scream loudly like savage apes.

*I understand and played most sports. Niggerball is niggerball. Chimping out celebrating was heavily frowned upon when only Whites played.

The amount of seething about Novak in the tennis community is incredible. He's something of a lolcow himself, but so are his haters. Novak wins, so there's really nothing to be done about him. I think there was a genuine hope among fans that the COVID shit would keep him out forever, or long enough that he stopped being good, but it didn't work and Novak got the last laugh.

They're dumb for doing so since the Democrats hate America. Unfortunately there's probably no way to get them to switch.

That's not exactly what I said. I said it was wrong for Massie to ignore the rabbi and accuse him of being a foreign agent when the rabbi was a prison chaplain who wanted to meet with him to discuss how to best serve his constituents.

Ok I can get the blacks part, but what on earth are you talking about with the "white college communists" argument?
Also, people are still interested in the Olympics, idk where you live that people don't care about it but that's all anyone would talk about during the summer last year.
Also what's wrong with calf kicks, it's a valid part of MMA and kickboxing

It doesn't really matter though? how does them celebrating affect your daily life? like are you that pissed off about a black dude celebrating a goal or touchdown?
