There have been valid criticisms of our focus on getting results right NOW - this quarter, right away...  But that approach sure works in sports!

Status: offline 		Baseball is the most mindnumbingly boring sport in the entire world. You can not name a less interesting sport. Not snooker, not tiddlywinks, not...whatever the fuck that one with the sliding stones on ice is. Gridiron is like some unhappy medium of football and rugby....mixed the two to ill effect, not as good as either.

And you guys REAAALLY need to get promotion&relegation already. And stop having teams called [town] [something about magic or dragons or wizards here], that are nothing to do with [town] and are often based not even in the same state....

You should go with basketball as an example of american sport, the others are awful...

Yeah, that is true, a fascination for balls, perhaps posession of the ball is thought to be something to do with masculinity, I got the ball and look what I can do with it.

Speeding it up? English sports are about the game.....it's qualities.....not fuckin' speeding it up for the masses to understand........next you'll be throwing in women dancing round with next to nowt on.....
