SpeedTriple Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 May, A bit of a shot in the dark here... As I'm English and don't know about these things. I guess it's American Football, New England Patriots. I think they had some sort of big game yesterday and they won for the 3rd time in 4 years. Don't listen to me though, hehe.

zeusbheld Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 i'm with PoC, i still prefer *real* football to american football. (both chelsea fc supporters although in addition to the premiership i've been an ajax amsterdam fan since 1994). and i like basketball a lot too, (maybe best). a historical note. this is overly broad and thus not entirely accurate, sorry, but.... rugby, american football, soccer football, all come from the same roots in england, with american football (as much as ppl here would love to deny it) being a stepchild of rugby football. "soccer" is a contaction of "association" sort of a pet name. most of the world knows soccer football as just football and (rightly) ignores that weird game of american football. american football is successful with the american media because there's lots of time spent standing around, thus giving many opportunties for commmercial breaks. that's my theory :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1lv3rtwenty2 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 it is true, all the sports are related...but they all trace their roots back to a game played by the ancient Aztec Indians of Central America (mostly present day Mexico) and brought back to Europe by explorers (Cortez, et al).
