HOLIDAY WEEKEND

[ramseycat]

Why are you here CN? You constantly put down the US and our sports. Why would you want to be on a board made up of mostly Americans? I'm not asking in a snotty way. I'm just curious because you have an obvious disdain for America.

[Donovan]

CN is an arrogant prick who immediately dismisses and disregards anything he doesn't personally like as inferior and mistrusts that which he doesn't know or understand, which is basically everything. He spends his time making fun of other peoples' differences and is seen by most as an utter asshole.


Isn't it obvious? He hangs with Americans because in all the important ways he IS ONE. We recognize one of our own when we see him.

Cricket lol. The game every slob can play. Your four-post novel length rebuttal epitomizes exactly what is wrong with soccer, cricket, English television and the Brits in general: it takes for fucking ever and you STILL never get to the point. It's just endless bla bla bla and nothing, ever, happens. OF COURSE it's popular in East Bumfuckistan, have you SEEN those countries? They think goat-tripping is quality entertainment.
Americans require a little more stimulation in our sports than some genteel twats running around aimlessly or a bunch of nobodies whacking a ball with a ceiling fan blade, who have names nobody can pronounce and who make so little that they'll probably be answering our telephone service calls tomorrow and pretending their names are "Dave". Elite athletes get paid. Period. Your Becks wanted to get paid kicking a ball. Know what he did? He came to fucking America. Unfortunately for him, he discovered the only reason we put shit like cricket and soccer on TV at all is because people like naps and there are only so many infomercials one can slot into 4am cable TV. It was either cricket or reruns of poker. And guess which gets higher ratings? That's right...fat guys playing cards is more entertaining than cricket.

That's gotta suck for you...

If cricket is the game any slob can play then baseball is the game any fat yank who can swing a bat can play. I have aleady conclusively proven cricket is a more physically and tactically demanding game than baseball, just because baseball is a national institution in america and has multi millions of dollars thrown at it does not make it a better game. Only in the eyes of tunnel visioned yanks like you who can't see anything beyond their own national culture.

Cricket batsmen are cultured, intelligent, graceful technicians baseball sluggers are barrel chested puerto ricans on steroids. Why do these “elite” baseball players need a big retarded novelty glove to catch the ball anyway? Cricketers manage to catch a ball heavier than a baseball with their bare hands no big ass glove required.

Bumfuckistan? You xenophobic tit most cricketers from the middle east and asia are intelligent multi lingual athletes unlike the braindead cretins in major league baseball who can barely speak english.

Old golden balls Beckham went to America in the twilight of his football career because he knew the yanks would pay him millions even though the best days of his footballing career were way behind him. And you yanks sucked the posh and becks sideshow down faster than ice cold root beer!

In conclusion

Cricket = cultured skillful game played by intelligent technicians.

Baseball = uncultured game based on a game invented for schoolgirls played by puerto rican sluggers and men with novelty gloves to “help” them catch the ball.

ps for CN: The soccer name you disdain so much is the original name of "association rules football" and was coined over 150 years ago by your own English as the official designation of that type of sport, in order to distinguish it form other popular "football" games like rugby. The "Foot" part of the name, for all types of football, was NOT what you think, the use of feet for kicking, but because at the time there were two main types of sport in England: types played on horseback, and types played on foot, hence the designation "football."

It only took on the generic name of "football" or "footy" because the lower classes began to like the game and refused to call it by the name "soccer" which they thought was too fancy. So basically, the name 'football' IS the bastardized, low-rent name for the game once called soccer by gentlemen in Britain. And the reason it stayed soccer in other countries like USA is because most already had versions of sports called football when your low-rent jazzercise kickball game showed up.

Rank hypocrisy alert! I dismiss things I don't understand? That sounds familiar a bit like the way you dismissed cricket a sport we have established you know fuck all about and have no understanding of.

You can't educate me about baseball its basically “slug ball very hard run, slug ball very hard run” etc etc etc for ever and ever amen. Cricket is infinitely more complex and difficult than that.

[Donovan]

Pretty funny that right in the middle of your rant on my supposed xenophobia you keep mentioning "barrel-chested Puerto-Ricans on steroids". Twice.Was that because you also are a xenophobic tit with very little actual knowledge of the game you're trying to disparage? Or did you think you were typing "barrel chested Puerto Ricans on steroids" into the google search bar and simply missed the right box? Either way, I feel like I know a little too much about you now.

Since you seem to have missed the sly joke in that post I took the liberty of giving you a hint. BTW, only half reading and barely comprehending other people's words: ALSO an American trait. You might want to check and see if your mother was ever a scullery maid in the states. Could be there's something she isn't telling you or your dad...like why Prince Harry looks like James Hewitt, right?

Why are you here CN? You constantly put down the US and our sports. Why would you want to be on a board made up of mostly Americans? I'm not asking in a snotty way. I'm just curious because you have an obvious disdain for America.

A tossbag attacked one of my national sports claiming it was inferior to one of his and I retaliated using facts to conclusively prove him wrong.

If you can't take it don't dish it out.

Here endeth the lesson.

[Donovan]

The only thing you've proven is that the tv caricature of every stuffy, boring Brit ever written is based on a true story. They should put on three hour televised segments of you pontificating on any given subject. It'd be cheaper than reality tv, more nap-inducing than soccer and STILL probably get better ratings than cricket matches.

Not better than fat guys playing poker though. That shit rocks.

A lot of baseball players ARE barrel chested puerto ricans on steroids that's not xenophobia its a statement of fact.

Saying cricketers from the middle east are from “bumfuckistan”and “smell of curry”? That is what i call common garden xenophobia.

This thread isn't the only example of your hating on America. If I remember correctly, you even had some pretty horrible things to say about the US and 9/11.

Why are you here CN?

Why would you ask such a stupid question?



Don't bother answering; that was a rhetorical question.

[Donovan]

Ok I admit it, I am prejudiced against bumfuckistanians. Tell you what, if you can find it on a map I'll personally write every single Bumfuckistanian a sincere letter of apology.

As for curry: since your own words stated India is one of the biggest supporters of cricket and there are a couple billion Indians playing it, it would stand to reason that they would also tend to eat a great deal of Indian food. Which, as any worldly person will know, relies heavily on spices like the incredibly pungent-smelling curry. In short, the number of cricket players who likely smell of curry is much larger than the number of Puerto Rican baseball players who use an illegal and banned substance. My fact kicks all the dogshit out of your fact, limey.

Yeah right, when i conclusively prove you are talking out of your arse about something I am suddenly dismissed as being “stuffy” and “boring”!

Bwahahaha!

Never mind there is probably a baseball game on tv soon you can load up on nachos, cheese whiz (honestly fucking cheese in an aerosol can!?), and down enough Jack Daniels to make the game appear actually interesting compared to the snoozefest it is when you are watching it sober.

Wouldn't he rather spend time with his own kind?? I could see how he liked Mock when it was a fighting place all the time. But it has evolved. Now go do something productive User while I lay on the couch because its a freaking steam bath here.

Actually that was me.

It's hot as hell here too. I'm staying inside as much as possible. I'm trying to get motivated to work on our income taxes. Yuk.

Nah, you were stuffy and boring the instant you started prattling on. There was just so much other stuff to make fun of you for it took me a while to get to it.

And there is almost certainly a baseball game on. Unlike cricket, people actually WANT to watch baseball.

[Donovan]

aerosol cheese product in a can: still better than English food.

[sally]

The English have the worst food ever, although I've read that chefs are taking it up a notch and joining the rest of the culinary world over there.

The problem is that they get a lot of their influence from India with curries and dried fruit which don't match so well in my opinion. I don't want my rice to taste like a goddamn fruitcake, thank you very much.
