Dons_1988 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 - if you ask them where they’re from (small talk) they take about half an hour to tell you “1/8 Irish, 3/25 Indian, 2/13 Finnish etc etc etc....” f**k off a one word answer would suffice. I don’t actually care.- shout ‘good job!’ At kids football when anyone does just about anything. It wasn’t a fucking good job. You don’t have to criticise but you can just keep quiet. - similar to the above, proclaiming that winning doesn’t matter in sports like football, it’s all about fun. Get fucked.I spent two years in Texas from the age of 13 and the above drove me absolutely mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Over in the Dominican Republic just now, was in the sports bar at the hotel yesterday watching the Spain game and there was an American guy sitting next to me at the bar who mixed 6 sachets of ketchup, 4 sachets of mayonnaise and 4 sachets of mustard together and then dipped his chips in this abomination. Needless to say I found out shortly thereafter he is a big Trump fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-dee Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 A don't watch rugby apart from some of the 6 Nations. It's not my favourite sport but I wouldn't class it as shite, I can see why people enjoy it. I enjoy American Football since I've started to understand it. I tend to find folk who slate it have never sat down and bothered to do this so instantly dismiss it as shite. Golf I find utterly eye bleeding to watch but again it has a big following so I'd be a moron to class it "shite". American football is brilliant. one of the most tactical games going. if one player doesn't do their job perfectly they are punished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they need to learn so many plays off by heart and be ready to do it at the drop of a hat is pretty incredible.

I watched a documentary about it and the play book was fucking massive Whilst this is partly true, a playbook isnt like a book of pictures you must learn, with a bunch of random names attached to each play. It's more like a series of phrases and numbers that all mean something very specific, are relatively easy to decipher providing you have taken the time to learn them, and help make playbooks seem deeper than they actually are. The majority of a playbook is spent explaining how these instructions should be altered depending on how the defense is set up. That's the more complex bit - especially at the highest level where defenses can better disguise what they are up to, particularly the coverage their secondary is in.

Raidernation Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 As an immigrant I have been wholeheartedly accepted and welcomed.My American family, nae just my step daughters ( who hate that term and just want to be called my daughters.) have been brilliant (especially after my wife died).The majority are kind, open, welcoming and a wee bit frantically patriotic, but I’m the immigrant here so I can live with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
