Favorite Sport?

Postby HFX » Oct 08, '13, 6:43 pm

I have a huge love for hockey, Canadian football and American football. But right now Rugby Union has leaped all of them into first place in my heart. It's fast paced, violent and super fun to watch and play. My brothers team wants me to play next year as a prop so that has me even more excited and pumped. I ain't felt this pumped in forever bout something.

It has a decent following in North America but it's definitely a niche sport which is a shame. I'd love to see it rise to prominence in Canada and America and see a decent pro-league. Even if it was just a regional league in the rugby hotbeds of Cascadia and California. I mean if soccer can have a good following and multiple pro leagues here why can't rugby. It's also one of two sports that Canada is clearly better than America at :tim

Baseball. No sport will ever come close to the love i have for Baseball. I know people like to say its boring and shitty, but theres just something special about it that makes me love it. Also theres nothing better to me then going to see a baseball game. I dont care if its minors, majors, high school or little leauge. The atmosphere of being there is always great.

I grew up in a family of baseball lovers so that probably explains my passion for the sport. After baseball, its Football then College Basketball.

I have to agree. I love the game. I live a block and a half from a Atlantic league park. Love it

Simple. If you wanna be a glory hunter, support either Man Utd, Man City or Chelsea.

Yo JDD since you're a Yankees fan then you should cheer for Manchester City as well as their hybrid bastard child New York City FC. The Yankees and ManCity joined forces to get an MLS expansion team that will play out of Yankee Stadium until they can get their own built. I read they are doing heavy advertising and already have radio and I think TV deals set in place with the help of the Yankees. NYCFC should have a good presence in NYC and though MLS isn't the EPL it is still a decent league that is only 20 years old and is quickly growing. Plus it's always nice to support something local. As for ManCity SKS cheers for them so he can make a decent argument. He almost succeeded in making me a fan. ManCity may be a bandwagon but they are still going to be outnumbered by Arsenal, United, Chelsea and even Liverpool fans as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona supporters.

Or you could cheer for Tottenham with me and we can unite against Enygma, Viazon and the unholy dark depraved satanic union that are the Gooners.

Heard about NYCFC. Definatley plan on following them, seeing as i could actually go to games. And one of my close friend is a tottenham fan, and uniting against dark satanic unions sounds fun.

College Football, NFL, Baseball, College Basketball, Golf, Hockey. In that order. I have also bowled since I was 6 and I have played Rugby. I really wish Rubgy was easier to find here in the states.

Definitely American football, although I'm also quite fond of basketball. I've been trying to get more into soccer over the last year or so as well.

Football/Soccer and Hockey for more. No idea where my love for hockey comes from, probably the Mighty Ducks movies.
