I do not really like football. This is one of the reasons.

The movie - funny.

As for the debate. I think someone is reading a little to much into a humorus post. It's a game and this is a humorus section. Get over yourself and have a laught.

The original ide was to laugh at the movie which I find funny.

I have no problems with homosexuals and neither of the sports mentioned below. The whole goal is to have fun and be healthy by doing it. It really does not matter how you do that. In my opinion anyways. So just chill and enjoy what you can. :)

I know, but I also know you aren't going to get it, here.

Also it wasn't much of a debate when you are summarily dismissed like a todler, "run along..."

Funny clip, too bad it has to come to all this drama. Seems to happen when people think they are funny.

tsk

since it is the "worlds sport" is it fair to call it "european football", maybe "football, but not United States football" would be more accurate.

As an American I have to remind myself that there are more americans than those that hail from the United States. Brazilians, Chileans, Canadians, Mexicans, and Columbians all hail from the Americas. Don't they?

Friend of mine from Kenya was telling me about how different "America" is perceived in his country. Its all roses and streets lined with gold! He truly thought that he would step off the plane and someone would hand him a job. Boy was he disappointed. He stayed, he followed the law and naturalized. He doesn't call hiself an "American" he calls himself a "United States Citizen"

I originally didn't refer to it as a sissy sport. Only when you all start getting upset that I should insult your sacred sport. Nor did I ever say there was anything wrong with what your soccer players do in their locker rooms.

Well seeing as how I did not say there was anything wrong with homosexuality I do not see how that could be viewed as such. If you laughed at the original clip here and did not find it homophobic then there is no difference in my joke to it. Oh wait, I'm making fun of your sissy sport and you just can't have that can you?


I didn't laugh at the original clip. And you're calling football a sissy sport and making a joke about the players doing things in the locker rooms. So you're stereotyping homosexuals as iffeminate or "sissys", which in my view is homophobia. Would you have made your first comment if you didn't consider football a sissy sport?

We're sorry our game isn't manly enough for you. Maybe we should give the players steroids and body pads and make them charge into each other for two hours, so you'll feel more secure about watching it.

I'd say that the "humour" is not as much insulting as it is homophobic.

I called it european football for a very simple reason. I'm american, I refer to it as soccer, and my sport as football. Because most people with brains here know I am american, if I were to say simply football people might think I meant american football. I called it european football so everyone would know what I was referring to.

Now why don't you all run along and kick a ball around for 3 hours and call it a game.

Just out of interest, why do you call it European football when every single country in the world plays it?

God it was a joke. Get your panties out of a twist. Zeke I know what european football is. And I stand by my insulting humor at what happens in the locker room of soccer(eurotrash football).

Yes I'm laughing at the "world's sport" deal with it.

Yeah in European football this kind of stuff occurs in the locker room after the game...


We don't play that kind of football over here...
We play what you call soccer, thats real football.
I don't see how a game can be called football when 80% of the time the ball is in the players hands, looks more like a weird version of rugby to me.

Also that comment is a bit insulting.

Nah, we don't play this kind of football, we play soccer as well. But I don't like either of them. We are a lot better in water sports, just look for the hungarians on the Olympics and all. :)
