I don't question soccer, or any other sports that involve, ya know, scoringQuote:

not, and never will be a sport in my book, it's pointless, stupid, and ****ed up....hey cool! I'm gonna try to beat the **** out of some other guy and be the toughest!
I understand it takes tremendous skill and agility, but it's ****ing stupid, really stupid. I personally, would never want to roll around on some mat with another guy all greased and oiled up wearing only a small pair of shorts. Give me a sport I can drink to, or actually enjoy playing that takes some actually thinking and analytical planning and skill, rather than kicking out the other dudes feet and trying to pin him.
Here we go again. :rolleyes:Quote:

the worst are the followers of it....the wanna be tough guys....that's really cute
look, I'll say it's a sport....but it doesn't take away from the ridiculous stupidity that it is.
JHC on a pogo stick, fighting sports (MMA, boxing, tae kwan do, jujitsu, etc.) DO take "thinking, analytical planning and skill." You don't just blindfold two guys, crank them up on PCP, and throw them in an octagon together (although that would be fun to watch). Just because you don't enjoy watching it does not make it any more or less of a sport.Quote:

"It's stupid" is, thankfully, not the barometer by which certain activities are considered sports or not sports.
to, me it's like putting dogs in a cage, having starved them and having them fight each other Michael Vick style, just with people....Quote:

It's really too low brow for Jeffy.
I think UFC is awesome, I don't like the knockouts as seeing a guy reverse into a submission hold. It takes unbelievable skill and knowledge of martial arts to be able to do the things they do.
Wow, those guys are being compared to dogs now?Quote:

It is ignorant, because like Kobie posted above, you are basically calling me (someone who enjoys it) a Micheal Vick like character. Pretty dam offensive man.Quote:

I'm going to chalk that one up to a poor choice of words on Jeffy's part.
MMA: Dog Fighting, With Humans.
:rolleyes:
Are you serious?Quote:

Yeah, those are roughly equal...if you're an idiot.
As for the violence of it, here's an article written in 2004 reporting that from 2000-time of posting, 22 high school kids DIED playing football. DIED. How many guys in every pro sport you can name suffer catastrophic injury on an annual basis?
Hell, narrow it to other combat sports...how many ex boxers are punch drunk mumbling brain injury victims because their sport lets them keep taking head shots no matter how damn woozy they are so long as they can drag themselves back up to their feet?
Oh, but that all somehow doesn't count, right? How nice and convenient.
And finally, if you're honestly going to compare me to some sick **** watching dog fights...and I'll preempt your usual post-dumb comment whinging about being misinterpreted because that's EXACTLY what you said with this line :...you can **** yourself. Seriously. I don't take kindly to essentially being called a degenerate, so too goddamn bad if my response offends you right back.Quote:
the people watching it seem the exact same as the Michael Vick type to me.
Oh, sorry, does that somehow lower me to a level your pompous ass considers beneath you? GOOD. I don't want to share anything within a good sized vicinity of your judgmental, whining punk **** ass.
cool
Sh!t just got real :eek:

So... Seeing as I've learned that Storm's 3rd cousin is Rocco Baldelli, which is pretty impressive, I would like to have this post locked/deleted now.
it doesn't need to be closed, if AB wants to take it that seriously, by all means he can do so.
lol
Yeah, I take it seriously when someone disparages my character based on BS.Quote:

Catholics, Republicans, conservatives....and you wonder why I get defensive and call me a hypocrite? I did nothing differently, you take it personally, I understand, I apologized, you wanna keep beating it into the ground, that's on you.Quote:

well then we are seeing this differently. It doesn't make it okay what I said, it's my opinion and me being loud about it, but I don't want to hear how rude it is from me, when I have dealt with it on this forum in countless other ejection threads.Quote:
