Mayweather aside.... Europeans continue to dominate

Your a ****ing moron. Basketball, hockey, baseball are all international sports so what the hell are you talking about? What about the Olympics, we usually dominate in that too are you saying thats not an international sporting event?

 

Michael Johnson
Pete Sampras
Williams Sisters
Michael Jordan
Michael Phelps

Seriously, 50% of the Europeans on this website are full of ****.

 

in all reality america,england and isreal do rule the world we do what we want to everyone and anyone theres so many british shows coming on american tv (extras,the office,little britian usa,some new show on hbo)
but there some american tv shows in england to only ******s call the english language american and you guys ask for the sports when the nfl sells out a game in london some brits obviously like our football and there is no real american food we take all other countrys food and remix it

Normal hockey is a major world sport Ice Hockey isnt.

Basketball is not a major sport outside America.

Olympics is about politics these days,how can the worlds biggest sport which only joined Olympics recently have 2 gold medals men and women whilst swimming has more than 30 gold medals.

 

Are you serious? How does that make sense?

 

Lol. I'm American and I've never heard someone call English "American" sorry.

I dunno about Americans wanting you to play our sports either. Doesn't seem like the NBA,NFL,MLB etc really care if they go international. They do like 1 game a year out of the country thats about it.

Personally I don't really see why people are complaining about our sports. We made a few up and now have a bunch to play competitively that are entertaining. What do Europeans even play other than Football? Tbh Cricket, Rugby etc never seemed big to me maybe im wrong. I have a few English, German and Swedish friends and they only seem interested in Soccer and some mostly the German people I know like Basketball.

 

Cross-purposes. We don't play soccer really, so we don't excel at it. We play our sports. We don't need to measure gridiron domination against other countries because we don't have to think about it that way. Soccer here is a sport for kids whose 'soccer moms' want a wholesome activity not associated with urban culture (basketball) or large equipment costs and physical hazard (gridiron, which without the padding can kill you because of how we play it). The World Cup is a byline for most people, who live and breathe football and basketball.

So 'claiming domination' assumes we are framing it against a global background. Not true at all, what other nations play is irrelevant to us. Boxing just happens to have alot of foreigners playing against Americans, so those of us who still follow boxing have some knowledge of foreign boxers... even in Olympic basketball, the NBA throws together a hodgepodge of players off-season and fans just kind of wait for the distraction to be over and the real game to begin.

This is an interesting sideline into how differently Americans and Europeans view such matters, I have often wanted to get into such discussions while reading threads.

 

What the hell is normal hockey lol?

Um yes it is. Infact it is rated behind soccer as the second most popular sport in the world.

So you are saying they should hand out 30 gold medals for soccer? How exactly would you accomplish that without individual events? See who can kick the ball the farthest? See who can dance around cones the best lol?

You are a moron.

 

its a ****in tv show made by british comedians what the **** are you talking about read the whole the thing before you pick **** out i was talkin about english tv shows that come on here

 

PR isnt part of the USA, stop clutching at straws, shall the UK start counting all the British commonwealth countries champions?
