I had a funny experience in a Taxi in Paris once. The driver was african, but his name was Bernadotte right, so he was all "Je ma pelle Bernadotte ugabug, ugabuga mi relativé con el rey del Swede, ugabugga..." or something. The guy seriously thought he was related to the king of Sweden.

Screw other sports....HOCKEY is where it's at. Canada kicks all your asses and makes up for our crappiness in football, soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis...and virtually every other sport except golf. And golf is kick ass as well...And Canada ain't not bad at it with Mike Weir....

Actually, wasn't this last Olympics the first gold medal Canada won in hockey since like 1960 or something? I remember everyone talking talking about how much pressure was on them to deliver because it was an embarassment they'd been shut out that long. Besides nobody watches hockey until playoff time anyway.

One more thing, working in a hostel, I obviously see travellers from all over the world, and the Canadians are the easiest to spot, cause they have the maple leaf flag on everything, hats, shirts, patches all over their packs, usually all at the same time, why is that? One time this girl came in wearing a shirt with the maple leaf printed huge across the front, so I asked her where in America she was from and she totally didn't get it. No sense of humor, those canucks. If it's because you don't want to be mistaken as American, that's pretty fucking lame. Another Canadian girl asked me if I was from "North America" she obviously wanted to ask if I was American, but didn't want to offend me if I was Canadian.
 
Try living in Glasgow. The Catholics support Celtic. The Protestants support Rangers. Many Celtic and Rangers fans hate each other.

Some pubs don't officially open on Old Firm match days. The cops patrol fucking EVERYWHERE and stop people from taking alcohol on trains (even if you have a good reason, such as going to a party later or whatever...). Morons fight and stab each other.

I don't watch football and I think both their religions are full of cancerous shit. It sucks being stuck in the middle.
 
@Golden Hall : i saw on a TV program lately about Australia, this australian guide who was hired by north americans would always ask if they were canadian or american, and if they were american he'd rip them off and give them a hard time. my american mother was so mad about that :p
thats maybe why these canadians wanna show they're canadian, cause you guys in Oceania must have this reputation of being anti american

My uncle (in-law) is a welshman so I hear about the celts and the rangers always fighting. Pretty sectarianized sport.
 
I'm kind of disappointed that football isn't all that popular over in the states. But I'm REALLY pissed that hockey NEVER gets air time. Even less than soccer. And we got the mighty Canada right about us. But do we give a fuck? Hell no, we'd rather watch sports that are actually 80% showboating, like american football and basketball. I'd like to see those fuckers put on skates and try to kick a field goal. They'd fall flat on their stupid 350 pound redneck asses.

Its funny you should say that. Because apparantly hockey players are very well rounded athletes. In some cases, they could have had a pro soccer career, but chose hockey instead. And yeah, basketball is gay...dont tell me you like basketball? Oh! look at me! I can jump 2 inches off the ground and slam a big orange ball into a hoop because im a big ass black dude! Anyone can run...learning to skate is very....very hard...and you can always improve...Do you even play hockey? And...I'm not trying to pick a fight so dont get all spazzy on me again....Thank you...
 
I do not play hockey, nor do I play basketball. I just find that argument irrelevant. Football players are very good ballerinas, because they do that training. Whats your point? By the way, I used to ice skate for a year at a local rink, and it isnt hard at all. I never did a triple spin jump or anything, but it wasnt nuclear physics either.


Baseball is a hard sport. It takes more than strength, it take strategical planning, like Final Fantasy.
 
well hockey is fun to watch, especially when the dudes start fighting :p unfortunately its not very popular in france so i dont get to see much of it..
but i get rugby instead.. hail rugby rules!

Football is way too stop and go. In my opinion basketball is a sport in which the players have totally outgrown the dimensions of the game. Sure there's talent in both, but I bet the 400 pound defensive linemen aren't the "Lord of the Dance". I know football players take dancing lessons but none of that compares to the grace and balance that pro hockey players have. or at least need to be good.

So you've skated but have you ever played a 2 minute shift in a hockey game? Run ten suicides as hard as you can (the thing where you run back and forth from A to B as fast as you can) and then do that on ice skates and tell me your thighs don't burn like a mofo.

Although I don't watch it much, I agree with you on baseball.
