A 3-hour game of American Football consists of, in average, 11 minutes of actual action. The rest is adds, replays, shots of players standing around, coaches looking at clipboards and referees talking to each other. They have 20 commercial breaks and show 100 ads. It's a scam.

Soccer. Most popular and nowhere near the most entertaining. Too low scoring, too luck driven.

NFL has trash branding and marketing...glorifies unprofessional characteristics and is over the top - recently, they’re making everything look like a fucking Video game.

Rarely do you see baseball, basket ball or hockey players celebrate standard plays in the manner promoted by the NFL.

Fucking classless trash - professional athletes should not act like middle schoolers.

Zlaxer prefers the No Celebration League, because he's no fun, no personality allowed. He wants to make every sport like hockey, fuck that, let them be their own thing, that shit is the lamest part of hockey anyway.

He's the Eeyore of the MHF, even in his criticism of sports.

Without a doubt, American football, for all the reasons listed and more.

I would add to the list that American football has become a substitute for masculinity for overweight men living lives of quiet desperation. It's fucking horrible.

If we are judging based on the idiocy of the fan base, MMA takes the cake on that, it's not even close.

No. I am judging it based on it's designed purpose.

What you think Football's purpose is and what it's actual purpose is, are two completely different things. Baseballs has some shitty fans too, bunch of hysterical drug warrior faggots.

I didn't put any martial art sports on the list. Not track and field either. The all get a pass with me on reasons of purity. Am I wrong? You could argue that, for example, heavyweight boxing is overrated.
