Whats up with football anyway?

Who pays to go to the game? FANS. Fans want inside stadiums so they don't have to stand out in the cold. I don’t know what games you have been watching but when I watch football people get dirty and some of them even have blood on their jerseys.

let me put it this way, if youre not watching football and youre a man, then there is something wrong with you. but football is fun mainly because of the intensity that is shown and the hard hitting that the players do. it is also fun if you have playing experience, if you do, it will just remind you of your old days playing high school ball or college.

Actually, what sports do is provide a general discration.  Take the superbowl.  Looks like alot of wasted resources BUT this single game provides entertainment for hundreds of millions of people.  And what would life be without entertainment?

Yes and calling it football seems a little daft as they rarely kick it. Not that it ever surprised me, they never have got the hang of the english language.

Football is as popular as ever, but I know what you mean.  The team factor is being overshadowed by superstars with superstar egos.  Take TO for example, great player but hasnt won anything.  That kind of stuff doesnt help teams win.

how silly you are asking this question. Cricket is our life & football is our breath.

Well, as far as I am concerned, Football is still a Sport.\n\nBut the question you are really asking here is: Is the modern overpaid professional Sport (of all kinds, and not just Football) still Sport? \nHere I tend to agree with you. The millions and billions that are pumped into the modern mass media sporting events have ruined the spirit of true sportsmanship and turned the whole scene into nothing more than a branch of show business.\n\nNevertheless there are plenty of decent people left who play their Sport every week as amateurs without getting a single penny for it. That includes many good and decent footballers.

I agree with you totally. Football doesn't make much sense.\n\nI believe the game was originally called football because the players would kick the ball through the uprights for a score.\n\nWhatever, it should be called something else.
