I don't give two shits about american football, but I happened to notice this bit of your post and thought I'd respond. I do agree on many of the other points.
Football can be fun to play, but I don't have the time to waste by investing any part of my life in caring about it. Some guy had a certain number of rushing yards last year? So fucking what?
See the term - exception the rule

Native Hawaiians and other Pacific islanders ( 960,000), blacks ( 38.7 million), American Indians and Alaska natives (4.4 million) and whites ( 237.9 million).
Star Quarterback = White
Always has been, always will be (Until whites become the ethnic minority)
sick world isnt it.
its a money thing. To me its like this, Ferrari may be one of the beautiful cars out there, it may handle the sweetest, it may be the fastest but at the end of the day I am buying an Aston Martin because its the best regardless of whether it is or isnt. Same reason why people spend 50 - 60 K on a corvette. Lets face it, its a Chevy not a BMW.Chupacabra wrote: so how you figure?

Pyro is living 20 years in the past. In the 80s, there were probably no black quarterbacks, but it has changed dramatically since then.Chupacabra wrote:the biggest star qb these past few years is mike vick, who is black.
out of the four conference finalists last year, two of the qbs were black, so how you figure? things are changing.
ill give you this though--i can't name a white RB.
I'd guess most Euros (ones with regular jobs, not students) don't actually play football (soccer) but we have a great time drinking beer and watching it.Dave wrote:I'm American and I don't even play American Football

first, there was nothing arrogant about my post, just an opinion based on experience having played both sports in question. I wasn't pounding my chest, screaming soccer sucks or rugby is for pussies was I? Unlike yourself were you spit a half a page of crap about a game you have obviously never played. Since I have reached a level of stupidity that is so high that I can't get my point across the first time, let me try again just for you.[FTF]Pyro wrote:Maiden wrote:lol, the rugby part might be fun to watch, but there is no way in hell they could come close to matching up with an nfl team at football. I doubt they could even hang with a top 25 college team, maybe not even beet a top high school team.
Arrogance, ignorance and stupidity of this level is tough. Congratulations.
i would wager that most euros play soccer than not. man, i HATE saying "soccer"hax103 wrote:I'd guess most Euros (ones with regular jobs, not students) don't actually play football (soccer) but we have a great time drinking beer and watching it.Dave wrote:I'm American and I don't even play American Football
Sure. Lets agree on what "play football" means. i.e. I'm not counting peeps who step on a field and goof around at events like picnics, etc.+JuggerNaut+ wrote:i would wager that most euros play soccer than not. man, i HATE saying "soccer"hax103 wrote:I'd guess most Euros (ones with regular jobs, not students) don't actually play football (soccer) but we have a great time drinking beer and watching it.Dave wrote:I'm American and I don't even play American Football
yes, i did not mean in a competitive club or such. i meant kicking it off of a curb or a tagged wall in an alley.hax103 wrote:Sure.

I was thinking about people who play regularly, say at least once every 2 weeks. In my institute in Amsterdam, there are regular notices for weekend games and only about 9 out of 400 staff show up. We do go around the office and try to drag peeps into the games but they all say they are "too busy" or "don't want to run around"...but they will be happy to meet at a bar and see the "next game" Hell, even my own buddies who get married rarely find the time for games...
I don't watch American Football eitherhax103 wrote:I'd guess most Euros (ones with regular jobs, not students) don't actually play football (soccer) but we have a great time drinking beer and watching it.Dave wrote:I'm American and I don't even play American Football

You need to do some research. That's 3 quarterbacks. 3 out of what, 32, 33 teams? True equality would be 25% of NFL quarterbacks being black.hax103 wrote:Pyro is living 20 years in the past.

ill give you this though--i can't name a white RB.
"Until the 1990s, the black quarterback was a rarity in the NFL...Now many of the league's star quarterbacks--Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNabb are black"
by the way the bit in red is a quote from the article not me.
For those of you who haven't heard:
Football, "Housewives" Don't Mix
ABC Sports was apologizing Tuesday over a filmed bit on Monday Night Football in which Sheridan, as her vampy Desperate Housewives character, removed a towel and showed off her assets to Philadelphia Eagles star Terrell Owens in the locker room.
The segment, aired at the beginning of the broadcast seen at 9 p.m. on the East Coast, and even earlier in other time zones, closed with the ostensibly naked Sheridan leaping into Owens' arms, and the ostensibly distracted Owens vowing to sit out the game. ("Aw, hell, the team's going to have to win without me," said a thespian-challenged Owens.)
Unlike Jackson, whose wardrobe malfunction prompted a Super Bowl-sized controversy, Sheridan didn't flash the camera--only her bare back was shown on screen. But enough flesh was bared to leave ABC red-faced.
"The placement of last night's Monday Night Football opening segment was inappropriate. We apologize," ABC Sports said Tuesday.
Still smarting over Janet Jackson, the National Football League sounded testy about seeing its teams in bed with Desperate Housewives.
"ABC's opening was inappropriate and unsuitable for our Monday Night Football audience," a league spokesman said in a statement. "While ABC may have gained attention for one of its other shows, the NFL and its fans lost."
The Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites), currently sorting through objections over last week's unedited rebroadcast of Saving Private Ryan on ABC, acknowledged Tuesday it had received calls from viewers about the Monday Night Football segment. FCC (news - web sites) spokeswoman Rosemary Kimball said it wasn't known how many calls had been received, or if they were calls of complaint.
The sports pages, at least, weren't filled with words of praise for the Sheridan-Owens sketch.
"I think ABC Sports should be absolutely, positively ashamed of itself," Sports Illustrated writer Peter King wrote on CNNSI.com on Tuesday.
In the Philadelphia Daily News, deputy sports editor Doug Darroch put it succinctly: "Nice job, ABC."
My one question - the one that doesn't seem to have been asked so far: would there be as much an uproar if she was de-toweling in front of a White football player?
