AFL. Worst, sport*, ever.

* Can you even call a fumble, four or so people jumping on each other, another fumble, maybe a goal and then another fumble a sport?

The world needs a sport like Unreal Tournament. Criminals, or just plain stupid people get put in an arena with big guns. 1st place wins 50% off their sentence, 2nd 20% and 3rd 5%. :yes:

#3 Golf i love golf it helps me sleep

#4 Baseball omg its kinda like soccer people stand for over 5 mins. for most of the game

#5 AFL omg plz dont get me going

#6 CFL its double the with and thats it

i'm sure you are aware that rugby, football (soccer), and hockey are all more dangerous than american football, right?

lol 1st you cant say soccer is = or more dangerouse then rugby or hockey or football. because you have to hit people in the other ones.

and all the big hits in hockey is because of speed with some gliding like this kwan-purple-masterfs01-6x10-150pxl.jpg

well with american football they were made to put helmets on because people died in the game

.......Dog shows are the lamest ever. Not a sport? Tell that to ESPN who feels they need to broadcast it.

:laugh: Totally agree, tell them to move it to animal planet

I wouldn't say so

Rugby, Cricket, Football (Soccer) - Played all over the world, not very popular in the US

American Football, Baseball, Basketball - Played all over the US, not very popular anywhere else

FYI Baseball is very popular on Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and many more countries on this continent.

can you drop the ball in rugby

You can drop the ball in rugby but you cannot move/play the ball once you and/or the ball are down. You are supposed to let a scrum form. Or something like that, it's been a while since I played rugby and I'm not sure my ribs ever did fully heal.

How can driving around a circular track with your foot down require any skill? The angle of the track means they don't need turn much if at all, even if they do need to turn its always gonna be a slight left. They don't even need to brake as there's no tight corners, they just go round and round and round......

Comments like this just shows you don't know what you are talking about and don't know the sport

I'm a few days old on this one but my top three go:

Baseball for sure first (hit the ball with a stick, run around for a few seconds then wait 5 minutes and do it again)

Basketball (I just hate how half the point of the game is who can be the best actor at pretending that being bumped into made them fly 10 feet acrosst he court)

Then probably.... Hmm I don't know I have any other sport that I dislike. Some are boring to watch (like Golf) but they aren't bad to play still.

I take no offence when americans/canadians go on about hating this game called "soccer"- whats that??

anyways FOOTBALL is the beautiful game, always has been, always will be and people who don't like it have something wrong with them. Its the most popular Sport in the world by a long margin. I know Baseball's popular in Latin America but Football is a religion there!!!

-some Other sports are good but none come close to the great game of Football: skill, beauty, elegance, the tactical battle, the drama football has it all. IMO only basketball has athletes with the technique, pace and skill to match football- but thats annoying cos theres a basket every 5 seconds. and Football certainly isn't a pansy game. if u think it is u aint playing it right in America. when u come off the field u usually have 2 or 3 cuts and bruises and have usually been barged about a fair bit aswell. Theres a large battling element to Football, which might not appear to be the case. Anyway its a contact sport- if u wanna call something pansy it would make more sense it be a non-contact sport like BASEBALL!

Lame sports:

-Golf!!!! (Boring)

-Athletics (maybe with exception of 100m- sorta exciting)

-Curling

-Car/Bike racing

-Ice Hockey. who can even see the puck? (or whatever its called)

Good Sports:

-FOOTball (the beautiful game)

-Cricket

-Rubgy (Lge' & Union)

-Tennis

-The U.S sports aren't too bad but the most annoying is NFL. it has the potential to be a good game but the whole play 10seconds then pause for 30 drives me CRAZY, and this is excerbated by constant adverts. I dont understand why they don't pass either. The play starts with a quality 40/50-yard distribution by the quater-back and then after that its head down and run and (USUALLY) hope for the best before everyone piles in. Why cant they pass more than once in the move- make the game more expansive and dynamic. and whats with the whole change of teams for attack and defence- BIZARRE!!!

    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop 'Google Chrome' is downloading without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
