Norris hates America: The thread of the musical sensation

[Menegrothx]

And you make fun of the rest of the world for liking football.

Soccer is for sissies. Hockey is for men



American football is kinda cool too, but from what I've gathered, Australian rules football and rugby are more tough (no protective gear and a lot less down time, but I could be wrong)

Also football is only popular because dirt poor people in third world countries can afford playing it. Hockey and American football are more exclusive because they require more expensive gear.

Airsoft is the best team sport there is though.

True, but never forget hockey started off as two guys freezing their nards off while passing a frozen turd back and forward with sticks.

Yeah hockey isn't that expensive in areas where you have lakes and other bodies of water that freeze at winter. When you go south enough to areas that depend on ice halls, it suddenly becomes a much more expensive sport.

Yeah, that's why it's the most popular sport in Europe. I heard Europeans are starving and play with coconuts.

Europeans are getting OWNED at the track & field champs right now.

No biggie frost. Nothing against menegrtholot, but that's something I wouldn't post is all.

Although my choice of words might've been undiplomatic, the fact remains: football's large popularity can be attributed to it's lower monetary requirement. You can effectively practice football as long as you have ball and some people to play with. It can be on the streets. For one you need expensive protective gear in American football and hockey. And while you can casually practice throwing a football (the US kind) and catching it, it's not nearly as valid form of practice as playing ball on the streets is. The sport requires a more strict, controlled environment (a full team, proper field, a coach etc) in order to be properly practiced. That's the same reason why skateboarding is much more popular than sand- and snowboarding and why running is such a popular sport in Africa (or rather, why so many olympic runners come from poor African countries, as the sport is popular all around the world)

Could be worse. At least you're not Canadians.

Canada is superior to America in every way except for weather.

Canadians are also the only people on this planet who complain about their money smelling like maple syrup.

Oh, and ZeroAx, full integration into the United States is believed to definitely occur by the third generation of a family living in the United States. The original immigrants may never fully integrate, but their grandchildren will.

Also...really? American alcohol sucks? I think you should reconsider that by examining our contributions to the world of whiskey. And American wine is quite respected, even beating out Western Europe for awards. Yes, our beer industry has problems, and they're even worse than you think (seriously, American beer history is disturbing). But there's a lot more alcohol here than just that.
