‘Sorry, but I can’t imagine a dumber and more boring sport than soccer . . .’
Gridiron: a sport where some of the players are so fat that any other sport would laugh at them being ‘professional athletes’. Where players can play for an entire career and never touch the ball. Where 60m of game takes 3-4 hrs. With built in stops for TV. ‘Toughguys’ padded up to the max. Who need oxygen every time they hit the sideline.
Baseball: need I say more?. Makes cricket look exciting. Based on a game played by little English girls in the 17th/18th centuries. And its players are either steroid freaks or podgy. A sport whose greatest player was a fat man. Another a racist. Another a gambling cheat. A sport ‘so American’ it was actually invented by the English and whose greatest hit in 1951 was by a Scotsman.
Yeah, I can’t much disagree . . . baseball, a game that can go on for 15 innings with a 1-0 score can be very nerveracking . . . and football, with big fat slobs on the line making millions . . . but you gotta admit . . . without the NFL, most of the players, like Lewis, would be in prison. So, American sports are keeping our prison population down.
