The Nerve Of Football

Old Goldenballs Beckham has made footie (or 'soccer' as its known over there) more popular than hockey and basketball in the USA, if the papers are to be believed. (And they are usually f**king NOT)! Alas its only when the Americans accept rugby as their favourite sport that they will truly become civilised. Laughs Out Loud.
But where is the RANT you ask? Its coming and it starts with baseball. Naturally.
We scoff at baseball in the UK. In fact we laugh at most American sports but its baseball which gets the brunt of our scorn. We look at it and say, "baseball. That is bollix that is! Why its nothing short of the rounders we played in school! Good old rounders! What!" *Snorts* Then we dissolve into the superiority of cricket.
BUT WHERE THE HOT DIGGITY DIG DID WE GET OUR SILLY BLOODY GIBS FROM? I FIND IT F**KING ASTOUNDING THAT A COUNTRY WHO IS OBSSESSED WITH FOOTBALL CAN FIND IT IN THEMSELVES TO MOCK SPORTS FROM ACROSS THE POND! FOOTBALL IS FILLED TO ITS LEATHER BALLS WITH SPOILT IDIOT PLAYERS. ALCOHOLICS AND WIFE BEATERS, WHO IF IT WASN'T FOR THEIR ABILITY TO PUNT A BALL UP THE PITCH WOULD BE SIGNING ON AT THE DOLE OFFICE!
FOOTBALL. A SPORT WHERE THE WALKING MESS THAT IS PAUL 'GAZZA' GASCOIGNE IS CONSIDERED A 'GREAT'! HAR DI F**KING HA HA! THAT KINDA SAYS IT ALL REALLY! NURSE, A BOURBON AND HOLD THE SOUR. IM SOUR ENOUGH.
