Football

If you turn right coming out of Holborn tube station and walk up Southampton Row about five minutes, there is an alley that leads to Great Ormond Street, along that alley is a nice pub which always shows the football. I can vouch for the pub as my wife and I used to have the occasional date hour in there when our son was in hospital.

Honestly, I’m waiting for it to completely run off the rails. A total collapse. Maybe when it gets built back, it’ll be done the right way. But the first thing that has to happen is to get the billionaires out of it. When they realize there are other, cheaper and more rational ways to stroke their egos, it’ll be a good start.

Is anyone else’s college football playoff mode not progressing. Win or lose the number stays the same resulting in not making the playoffs. See image.

Wanted to play for the Oakland A's as a kid. I did play in college, I lost vision in my right eye. I learned how to bat left-handed I never got back to the same level as I was batting right. I wasn't good enough for the Majors anyway. Also, I played Football in college. I was better at football, but my passion was baseball.

@HornedMelon, that sounds familiar. I don’t know much more about football other than it involves balls and not very many feet, unless you’re counting the measuring kind haha

Anything the NFL touches makes money. People will still watch no matter what they do. It’s the offseason, people are looking for any football content so why not make something out of the schedule release? My favorite part is seeing which teams have the funniest social media schedule release videos. Titans and Chargers normally kill it every year.

Personally, I’ve always found American Football to just be a more interesting and enjoyable watching experience than Football. Before I get burned at the stake and get hundreds of “handegg” comments for even bringing this up, I want to emphasize that this is my opinion, and that I do understand why some people would prefer football instead. Allows for More Complex and Interesting Play Design This isn’t to say that football doesn’t have complexity or interesting aspects to it, just that the way in which football is structured makes it much more difficult to enact interesting and novel play concepts like American football. Since the game is always free-flowing and no team is truly guaranteed possession for an extended period of time, there is a physical limit to how long and complicated plays can be made before the risk of the other team gaining possession again outweighs how truly effective the play can be. With American football there are so many opportunities to confuse the defense and give your players unique and interesting chances to score, and as someone who really like to dive into the hyper-specifics of each and every aspect of the game and play design, American football just has so many more possibilities for different types of creativity. Purpose-Built for Highlight Plays When you’re watching a game of American football, you’re almost guaranteed that you’ll see at least one exciting and memorable play if you watch the game the entire way through. While obviously exciting moments do occur in football, plays can often end up feeling disappointing if they don’t end with a goal. There are also extended periods of time during football matches where teams with just hold on to possessions either in the middle of the pitch or towards their own goal, waiting for an opportunity, while nothing much else of note happens. Boring plays and games do happen I. American football, but a game with any scoring or a single great play is exceptionally rare, while it seems relatively common in football. The Athletes American football probably has the widest range of professional athletes in all of sports. Because of the positional specialization that football allows, a player can be just as successful at 6’7”, 315lbs as someone at 5’6”, 160lbs. Especially in person, seeing the absolutely insane strength and athletic feats some American football players are able to achieve on a regular basis is half the fun of the game itself. Football does have some great athletes, but really only one body type and build has shown any significant success. Some people might find the endurance and agility of football players more impressive and exciting, but personally being able to see some of the largest and strongest people on Earth actively trying to kill each other on a play-by-play basis makes American football much more entertaining. Variety of Tense Moments Close games in football are only settled with shootouts. I absolutely agree that shootouts are exciting, especially in important games, but for me, it being the only way close games are settled really devalues just how exciting they can actually be. In American football, if a game isn’t finished with a last second, 50+ yard field goal or a game-winning touchdown, overtime still allows for the same amount of freedom and control that the regular game gives. Yes, games during the regular season can also end in a tie, just like football, but ties are exceedingly rare and come playoff time, games can only be won or lost. Contact is fun I just really enjoy the contact that American football allows for. No other sport is really built around contact the same way that football is. Even with rugby, since the players are always running, and only the ball carrier can be hit, there aren’t nearly as many big hits or collisions as there are in American football. Even when playing, contact makes the sport so much more exciting. There isn’t much else like the adrenaline boost you get when you crack shoulder pads with another player and bring someone to the ground. Considering also that American football is only getting safer with advances in helmet and pad technology, and also with rule changes that reduce the chance at injury, it’s possible to just enjoy the physicality of the sport without too much worry about the players health. I didn’t address all my points here, but I wanted to bring things up that might not be talked about nearly as much in this conversation compared to just “Well sometimes games end 0-0” or that football players fake injury too much. I don’t hate football, but given the option of watching or playing either sport, I’m picking American football 100 times out of 100. Edit to address common complaints: Yes, ads are pretty common in American Football. I’ve essentially grown up around the sport, so it’s just something I’m used to, but I can understand how someone coming from another sport that has relatively few breaks would find the pace of American Football difficult to follow. That’s fine, it’s not for everyone. Even still, I think everyone who criticizes the sport for the ads needs to take some points into consideration: They give you time for socialization and give you a break when you need one. Grab a drink, go to the bathroom, or check up on another game while you’re waiting for the game to start back up again. They’re necessary for the players. Football is a game about planning and deception. Breaks allow players and coaches to catch their breath after having to give every ounce of effort in the prior play, and decide what the best move for the next play would be considering the team’s circumstances. You need time to allow players to not die out on the field, and to allow for whatever quick changes the team needs to make. They’re actually not that frequent. They do take up a big chunk of time, sure, but some comments here pretend like after every play there’s 10 minutes of ads that follow. Ads really only play during larger breaks like during timeouts or after quarters/2 minutes TO. They generally don’t disrupt the flow of the game during each possession, and most stoppages are filled with insightful commentary and analysis by the announcers after each play which gives you time to actually process what just happened. I hate ads as much as you do, but I’d much rather take the ads and exciting bursts of play than players just jogging around the field passing to each other. Just because the clock is still running in the game doesn’t mean someone interesting is going on. American football addresses this by cutting out most of the boring parts and forcing teams to use each possession as effectively as possible. I also understand football is a very complex and nuanced game. I understand there’s ton of mechanics and strategy that sets players up for success. Nobody is that stupid, I know it’s not just guys kicking a ball around for 90 minutes. What I’m trying to argue with my point on complexity is that the way in which football is structured inherently makes it more difficult to set up extremely complicated and detailed plays that pay off in the same way as some plays do in American football. In American Football, before you even snap the ball, you can motion your receivers, shift formation, or even try a hard count yo try to throw off the defense. Then, when the ball is snapped, you can force defenders to run towards specific areas based on their assignments and tendencies in order to open up your guys downfield. There are so many options for each play, and drawing up plays is an art form very few people in the world are good at. In football, you can draw plays up to exploit the defense, but there isn’t much you can do beyond moving your own players around to try to move the defense. You can’t really throw the defense off balance the same way you can in American football because players will always have specific man or zone assignments that can’t really be broken solely through a play call. You need a ton of improvisation to make even the best plays work, and football relies a lot more on each individual player’s skill than how the team as a whole functions and communicates. I really just enjoy the more tactical and predictable nature of American football play calling rather than the more free-flowing and dynamic plays of football. Seems like I really struck a nerve with the “America Bad” crowd with this post. Honestly I think is hilarious that so many people are pretending like this is an attack on their culture, and need to find every imaginable way to demonize Americans and anything they enjoy, when it’s just a single opinion of a random person on the internet. I’d love to make an attempt to respond to actually valid criticism, and try to clarify my points where I feel like they’re being misconstrued, instead of trudging through hundreds of comments along the lines of “You’re such an idiot. Football is just too complicated for you to understand it” Some of you need to grow the fuck up and actually try to engage in a civil discussion. submitted by /u/tkdcondor to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]
