I love seeing all these American sports and trying to work out what they are. lol.

[clarky241]

Yeah lol! I still don't know any rules of American football

[Yin717]

Neither do I.

[clarky241]

It's just so confusing. Like rugby!

[Yin717]

Hye! Rugby is easy to get to grips with! Then again. It is 80% mental!

[clarky241]

I hate rugby. There's too many rules

[Yin717]

No not really. It seems it but there's just major rules with mini ones coming off which most ref's ignore. Easy to get to grips with. Tha hard thing is the tactics.

[clarky241]

Yeah, I'll agree with that

[Shame218]

i like football and basketball

[clarky241]

I love basketball

[Shame218]

[clarky241]

I'm good at lay-ups

[Shame218]

[Yin717]

Right. I've been away a while so what do I need to catch up on?

[clarky241]

We're discussing our favourite sports

[tmoney012]

im good at football cuz im fast and nobody catches me i once ran 46yards and scored 59 touchdowns in one game and this is real

[Yin717]

Errrrr. I thought you were talking about football as like actually football (soccer you call it). American football and football and football always get me confused. But one questions always annoys me. Why do you call it football when you carry it most of the time?

[clarky241]

That's what I've always wondered, it's really confusing

[Yin717]

I really loved to get that cleared up.

[Shame218]

because its the name of the ball they carry lol

[tmoney012]

i was talking about the football where you hold the ball

[Yin717]

The ball's called a football? Why?

[clarky241]

I suppose calling it 'Handball would be a little silly

[Yin717]

I know but so does calling it football.

[clarky241]

Well perhaps football in England came first, then Americans came up with their game. At the time it was just football in America, but then they changed it to carrying it as well, but just kept the same name. If you understood that.

[Yin717]

No. American football was made from rugby.

[clarky241]

Well then I give up.

[Yin717]

Will just have to wait for an american to tell us.

[clarky241]

Well plenty of Americans have joined in with this argument and they've stayed silent. I don't think anybody knows.

[Yin717]

No. It's just no americans are on yet! Or they don't know.

[clarky241]

We'll just have to talk about something else. Ever tried archery?

[Yin717]

Yeah! I love it!

[clarky241]

Me too, I found it a bit tricky the first time I tried, but that's like everything isn't it?

[Shame218]

[Mud Master]

Swimming And Soccer (Even Though I Can't Play It)

[Yin717]

ok the amarican is here(we have school when yall come on) football is similar to rugby but rugby came first
