sports i will never understand

ice hocky basket ball footy and american football...
american football is the more confusing one.
here is an example of how well i understand it. the bowler gets the ball after a loose scrum, and throws it to the wicket keeper who then tries and get the puc past the loose forward, in order to put the opposing team in check mate?

I am not familiar with ice hockey. Basket ball, I Love the game and know the rules. And American football, yes I dig it too but not really familiar with all its pros.
i just dont get american football, i whatched it online the one time to try and figure it out but couldnt then i googled the rules and got even more confused!?! over here we have more british sports like cricket, rugby, football and field hokey...
haha...maybe an American football fanatic/enthusiast will do good in explaining (in person and on the American football field would be better). There are some of them here. Just a little longer and they will show.

The game I never understand so far, not mean that I don't know how to play it but mostly because why people want to do it, is football (soccer or American football, whatever you called it). 11 people chasing one ball in such large field, sweating and then hurt their legs, while I'm here sitting and enjoy my cakes. laugh
Ooppss.. not 11 but 22 people!
"You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer". Those of you brave enough will, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies)."

(extract of J. Cleese - Letter to America)
ha ha ha willem i love that!!!
john cleese is a comic genius always has been since the early days of montey python.
and he couldnt be more spot on either lol.
soccer,basketball,baseball I like that wink thumbs up
Ehhh I've never been a big sports fan anywho dunno wave
i often think if Aliens were to hover overhead, and witness people running after a ball, they would go, confused laugh
lol it does seem funny come to think of it that way lol
American football - The fans start fights with each other mostly just in the seats at the ends of the stadium (the don't get to see the game very well but they are very close to the beer vendors!).

European/etc football (soccer) - All the fans fight.

(actually rather sad some of the events that have happened sad flower )

---

Hockey - The players fight.

Boxing - The players fight.

---

Tennis - No fighting!

Golf - No reason to fight. No reason to watch. tongue

laugh
in the mind, you left out rugby, thats like hokey the players fight.
sometimes the fans to.
music i will make point of understanding hockey then... well ice hokey, not field hokey.
lol playing rugby at his age is a death wish lol,
i have had a dozen concusions and i had relatively safe positions on the field...
Thanks Ed. Even I can understand that!
