Quote from: DJ Omnimaga on July 14, 2014, 03:47:57 amI personally prefer ice hockey since it's faster-paced, has more goals and shots, although it's more dangerous. I also like baseball due to the strategy aspect of the game and the fact that a 12-1 game can end up 12-13 in the span of two innings (basically the final outcome of the game is not known right from the start like in soccer, where a 2-0 goal deficit is pretty much impossible to overcome). In football's defense, though, the 90 minutes of nothing during a game is far worse in "Handegg", because each play lasts like three seconds. In hockey, time stops completely during game stoppages, so you're guaranteed to get 60 minutes (or more) of hockey plus a few minutes of fights. In baseball, games don't have much action but at least there's no time limit.I was not saying Football was the worse, maybe Handegg is not better (never watched that, I don't even know how it's meant to be played except that there is no ball but an egg and you mostly don't play with your foot but your hand). I was just saying that there are things that are far more interesting, like ice hockey as you mention it.Quote from: Princetonlion.tibd on July 14, 2014, 03:43:27 amQuote from: Streetwalrus on July 14, 2014, 03:41:31 amWelp, football is corrupted by money, that's the main problem. Good point... And fake injuriesYeah, I don't know why Football is seen as a man's sport, women are a lot better at faking (understand what you want here).

Welp, football is corrupted by money, that's the main problem.
I think handegg is American football
As for Handegg it's a word used by Europeans to describe American Football (and Canadian Football, which is slightly different than American Football) because they hate how Americans call association football "soccer". It's also used sometimes when talking about both sports with europeans to make it easier to make the difference.

In the context of sports, "ball" need not refer to a spherical object, as is the case in American football."
