Before you go bashing "stupid american terms", you may be interested in knowing that soccer is a british term. :whistle:

11. The word soccer does not come from the United States but was a term used by public school and university students, most notably at Oxford, in the 19th Century to shorten the new game ?Association Football?. The predilection to shorten words with ?er? extended to Rugby too, known as rugger.

As for the poll, it's a tough call for me. I'd have to say football followed closely by hockey and soccer.

Well my sport (NFL) isn't up there, and don't give me that American football/ruby because they don't belong together. I hope I don't get in trouble for this, but the anti-Americanism that's going on in this thread is VERY offensive to me. Just in case anyone gives a rats behind. I could say negative things about soccer (some call Football) and put a :x after it too, but I'm respectful. Please do the same for others and we can all get along just fine here. Thanks

nm ain't worth my trouble :no:

What about bowling?  :D

I'm a monster in bowling.

I chose basketball though, cause I'm tall, and I have advantages on midgets. Also because it's the only sport I played on a team for my whole childhood.

We have the ABC Bowling Convention in town. Started in Feb will end on July. Good game, but these visitors have overstayed their welcome and made local, hate bowling.

there is just to many sports to list :p

anyways...WE GET IT how many "FOOTBALL not soccer" posts do we really need we get the point UK stop beating it to death, bringing it back then beating it again. Cant judge American FOOTBALL until you played it, and after you do you will be thankful for the pads, i was.
