brutoid Caldari	Posted - 2010.06.10 16:46:00 - [92] Edited by: brutoid on 10/06/2010 16:48:51 Edited by: brutoid on 10/06/2010 16:47:42 Edited by: brutoid on 10/06/2010 16:46:39 Originally by: Slade Trillgon No, but you have two more tries left. Slade "The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) records that the first written use of the word football used to describe a game was in 1424 in an Act forbidding it. The first written use of the word football to describe the ball was 1486, and that the first use as a verb (hence footballing) was in 1599. For the etymology, the OED just indicates it is a compound of foot and ball. Although it is widely assumed that the word football, or "foot ball", originated in reference to the action of a foot kicking a ball, this MAY be a false etymology. The historical explanation has it that the word originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot.[3] These sports were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports more often enjoyed by aristocrats. This explanation is supported by the fact that the word football has always implied a wide variety of games played on foot, not just those that revolved around kicking a ball. In some cases, the word has been applied to games which involved carrying a ball and specifically banned kicking. For example, the English writer William Hone, writing in 1825 or 1826, quotes the social commentator Sir Frederick Morton Eden, regarding a game ù which Hone refers to as "Foot-Ball" ù played in the parish of Scone, Perthshire:" Might i also add this: "Where English is a first language the unqualified use of the word football is used to refer to the most popular code of football in that region" Which is what our banter was all about Football

The historical explanation has it that the word originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot. Exactly. If you speak to most individuals with a concentration in the foundations of physical education and sport, this is what most will say. It just so happens that over the evolution of the English language and sport, that since Internationl Footbal had the most conatact between the foot and the ball, the usage of the term football became isolated to mean just International footbal. Which in turn required that other sports played on the foot need to have new names generated. Slade :Signature Temporarily Disabled:
brutoid Caldari	Posted - 2010.06.10 20:27:00 - [96] Originally by: Slade Trillgon It just so happens that over the evolution of the English language and sport, that since Internationl Footbal had the most contact between the foot and the ball, the usage of the term football became isolated to mean just International footbal. Which in turn required that other sports played on the foot needed to have new names generated. EDIT: Can not watch Gay Ref since no flash updates on the work computer and no administrators privileges Slade Indeed, but its hardly isolated, it is the worlds most played sport, it also uses both the foot and the ball consistantly over the entire games length, that it was almost certainly inevitable even all those hundreds of years ago, that the terminology that the planet chooses to use as the 'real' meaning of 'football' to be the one most played. To the point that most countries don't even use their own language to describe the game but still use variations of the English word 'football'. It therefore becomes even more apparent that 'American football' should have been called something completely different, maybe like 'American Throw Not Round Ball', or something like that? Gay Ref is ace!!
Astenion Blame The Bunny Bunny Nation	Posted - 2010.06.11 00:59:00 - [97] Originally by: The AEther Edited by: The AEther on 10/06/2010 11:21:36 Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu OH GOD I'M INJURED! OH THE PAIN, THE UNIMAGINABLE PAIN! rolls around on turf clutching own shin, crying I'M CRIPPLED! yes, ** tends to happen when your body isn't all covered up by polycarbonate alloys and steel - that is kind of obvious Originally by:** Astenion ... Imagine full-contact soccer; people getting pushed and shoved and punched and kicked, all without penalties and all without the whining and crying. It'd kill every sport known to man; it's got the dexterity and quickness and agility of soccer with the intensity of rugby and American football. ... it sounds like what you really need is gladiatorial games Again with the pads? Oh yeah, I forgot...you've never played so you really don't know. Typical. How many times must it be said? They're not there to keep it from hurting, they're there to keep you from dying. You don't hit people the same way in football as you do in rugby...the game is played in a completely different way. I don't need gladiatorial games; I need soccer to stop being a sport full of pussies.
brutoid Caldari	Posted - 2010.06.11 01:32:00 - [98] Originally by: Astenion I need soccer to stop being a sport full of pussies. Its not though. There are cheats, there's a difference. Those players that are rolling around after what looked to be due to a shot from a sniper etc, they're not really injured or in pain, they're playing the referee. This is a problem in football for sure, but not down to whether the players prefere wearing their wives underwear or not. Until camera replays are used in football to the extent they are in American football or even Rugby then the players will always walk that fine line of gamesmanship because it will award the team with an advantage, its human nature to win at all costs as i'm sure you'll agree? American football players wear pads for protection, it can be a brutal game so the necessity is definately there. Football for the same reason of protection is a non-contact sport in the sense that there are ways within the sport to tackle safely otherwise its far too easy to break legs and end careers. And that is why its easy to get a player sent off by feigning a bad injury = instant advantage = problem with football. Bring on the camera replays.
digitalwanderer Gallente DF0 incorporated	Posted - 2010.06.11 03:42:00 - [99] Originally by: Astenion Sounds like a plan. I'm not saying at all that people should be allowed to clothesline people, just loosen the rules with the contact. If someone trips you, that's not a penalty. If someone punches you, then yeah, that's a penalty. However, I agree with your idea with running people's asses into the ground. For every dive you take, that's an hour of sprints at practice or you just sit on the bench for the rest of the match and the following match. Also, a little public humiliation wouldn't hurt, either. Is he faking it? Ok, then he gets punched by every single person on the team. That's how it's done in football. Be a man or go home. Did you ever notice that the vast majority of dives,regardless if they're justified or not,happen close to or even within the goalie area,so that the player gets a chance to have either a free kick,or even better yet,a penalty shot against the opposing team....Assuming the referee buys into the offending players dive as genuine of course... So in the end,it all about wanting to score a goal and winning the game,not just to dive for ****s and giggles,though cases like those do happen fairly often....Portugal's ronaldo was renown for it in his early years for diving left,right and center,even though he is one of the best players out there,but he seems to have matured quite aa bit in the last couple of years and doesn't do that nearly as often as he used to.
VinLieger Caldari Kraken Heads	Posted - 2010.06.11 10:24:00 - [100] The simple reason most americans dont like football is because they cant just immediately declare themselves the best at the sport since the rest of the world actually play it professionally. Also ive a sneaking suspicion they get confused when playing other sides cus it requires a bit of geographical knowledge for them to figure out who they are playing. -----------------------

Also ive a sneaking suspicion they get confused when playing other sides cus it requires a bit of geographical knowledge for them to figure out who they are playing. Yes, that's exactly it. I live in Europe and am forced to watch soccer every Sunday, yet I don't know how to find Germany on a map. We don't like soccer because it's boring, simplistic, and full of people who fake injuries. For the guy who said that it's a sport not full of pussies, but full of people who fake injuries. I hate to break this to you, but in any sport where someone actually fakes an injury, they're considered pussies. Also, the sport itself doesn't really do anything to combat that, which is largely construed as half-condoning it. If you play a sport where faking an injury can actually help your team, you're playing a girl's sport.
ChaeDoc II Gallente Capital Construction Research Pioneer Alliance	Posted - 2010.06.11 14:35:00 - [102] I know it's Italy but Mussolini died years ago, you're not "forced" to watch anything. Stop saying you're forced to watch football, it doesn't make you seem oppressed, it just makes you seem like a moaning little *****.
Viral Effect Caldari BRAINDEAD Corp	Posted - 2010.06.11 15:21:00 - [103] Originally by: Astenion Don't kill the messenger. Your football is a girl's sport played by whiny, girlish men who cry way too much and are completely bereft of any masculinity. It's boring, simplistic, lacks any sort of strategy that's not completely elementary, and over-hyped. You can rant and rave all you want, but that doesn't change that fact. You seem to forget that I live in Europe and have to watch this travesty you call a sport every Sunday. Go to any pub in Britain and say that. Personally I would rather walk up to a lion and whip its ass with a towel. At least with the lion I might be in with a chance of not being lunch.

Yet,when the world cup comes around,such as it is the case right now in soulth africa,there's 2+ billion people around the world seeing the event,and the only other event that actually exceeds that number,are the summer olympics,which are also organized every 4 years,so it's the kind of numbers that NHL + NFL + MLB + NBA,even when combined,would kill for,and truly warrants the name "World championship". For the sport to be referred as a girls sport,i don't think they'd have 2+ billion viewers world wide when these big events come around,just me though...

Astenion Blame The Bunny Bunny Nation	Posted - 2010.06.12 12:57:00 - [109] And yet, for some unknown reason, they're not showing the US/England match today on tv, so I can't watch England pound us into dust on the field. Let me know how it turns out...

I didn't say the fans are pussies; if anything, they're the most entertaining thing about a match! The players should be watching the fans!

Donna Tirith Minmatar	Posted - 2010.06.12 18:06:00 - [111] Originally by: Astenion Slade, as far as injuries go, I'm not saying they don't exist in soccer; rather, there are too many people FAKING injuries. In other sports, if you roll around on the ground because you tripped and fell, you're own team will kick your ass because you're just being a ***. I'm not saying people don't get injured in soccer, just that they whine and cry and roll around on the ground, and then miraculously 2 minutes later they're back on the field. In soccer, people really do get their legs broken, ankles broken, nose and cheekbones broken, etc. Just getting hit in the face with the ball hurts like hell. The fact is, however, it's not a rough sport and the rules err so much on the side of caution that players must play the game like little girls, always whining and pointing fingers. Actually girl's soccer in the US is WAY more rough than men's. Vehemently defending soccer as a man's game is laughable at best. People get concussions from playing in the back yard. You paint soccer to be this rough and tough sport when it's absolutely not. The numbers are steep for soccer injuries, and gee, I wonder why? Could it be that it's the most popular sport in the entire world with hundreds of millions of people playing it every single day? Simple math can tell you that the more people play a sport, the higher the statistics for injuries. How many countries play American football? Two? Canada and the US, right? Now how many countries have soccer as their national sport? Let's also look at the injuries. Broken ankles, broken legs, broken noses vs legs being entirely twisted around 180 degrees and even death. Let's not get into a **ing match by claiming one is more "manly" because one has more injuries; I was being facetious when I said it's because people were diving, causing concussions, btw. Again, I'm not saying one is better than the other; I'm merely pointing out the fact that the intensity BEHIND the game is much, much stronger than the game itself. Do away with the girly rules, do away with the whining and crying, and have players start acting like grown men instead of little girls and you'll have a nice spectator sport. Until then, it's just overgrown kids crying because they hurt der wittle knee. At least you were able to recon that American(?) men are to soft for soccer and use consistant the term girly for "to rough for (American ?) men" What I don't get is how you can consider something a sport at all where the players have to hope to physically hurt the oposing players.
Astenion Blame The Bunny Bunny Nation	Posted - 2010.06.12 18:18:00 - [112] I'm simply poking the bear a little bit, playing Devil's Advocate; harmless, light teasing at the worst. To answer your question, Rugby, Aussie Rules, and American Football tend to separate the men from the boys. The boys usually end up playing soccer.
