What about a sports subforum.
Think about it.
Football (or like Americans name it ''soccer''), Basketball, Baseball, American Football

Gridiron:
Refers to American or Canadian football
Is a football field

I don't care for (American) football. I enjoy hockey and basketball. I'm done talking about sports now.

I enjoy Football (soccer) a lot, and some others, other sports, and sports aren't boring.

Well, as a rule I tend to only open subforums when other forums are getting a lot of discussion about a particular topic. I don't really recall seeing any sports discussion here so I'm not sure we really need one. I don't want to open it for nothing.

That being said, if there is a demand I would definitely open a sub forum for just about anything.

Gridiron is what we call american football. It's fun to watch. For sports, I like pro wrestling. It's not really a sport, but it's fun.

I like to watch... um... I've forgotten. But it's the only sport I've ever watched an entire competition of.

Meyh, it's a crap sport anyway. The only sport that I like is Baseball, though having years of Cricket and Aussie Rules Football forced upon me, I can sit through them for a time. Gaelic Footballs allright as well.

Aussie Rules Football? Gaelic Football? Sounds interesting. What's the difference to ordinary football?

Galeic is soccer, but you can kick the ball into your hands. After a few steps, you have to bounce the ball, then a few more you have to kick it to yourself if you haven't gotten rid of it yet. I think apart from that it's mostly the same as soccer, though you may be able to tack opponents. It's been years since I've played it. AFL(short for Australian Football League, but is also used as shorthand for Aussie Rules Football)is played with a more ovoid ball, larger then a gridiron ball, but less pointy. Players can pick the ball up and run with it, but must bounce it every ten metres or so. They can pass the ball by kicking it, or handballing it(placing it on one hand, and punching it with the other). If somebody kicks the ball and you catch it on the full, it's called a mark and you get a free kick. The goals consist of four posts, two large ones in the centre, and two smaller ones outside them. Kicking the ball between the middle posts is a goal, six points. Between the outer ones is only worth one point. You could probably get a better idea of the rules if you look up some of the official sites.
As Australia is the only country that plays AFL, and Ireland the only ones that play Gaelic(or at least play it seriously), each year we have an 'International Rules' tournament, where the two countries put forward a team each and play three games whos rules are a hybrid between the two sports. That's actually really good to watch.

Wow, thanks for the information. Although I'm a little disappointed, thought they'd extend the rules to allow ripping out the other's throats or something like that... well, guess you can't have anything. sleep.gif

Sadly not...and they're trying to make it less violent. Personally, I think it defeats the point.
