Yes, baseball is THE game. Fuck all the others. Polo? Get a life. A real game should have a purpose not worry about being classy. I've played baseball all my life. I've played football in very informal conditions as a boy but here's the problem with this "sport": There'a always some asshole who has to prove what a tough, macho dickhead he is by smashing into you as hard as he can. I'm not a pro player being paid millions to take hits so I'm really not cool with having a permanent spinal, rib or hip injury because I played a "harmless" game of football on somebody's front lawn with an asshole who thinks he should be playing on Dallas's front line (where he'd get killed in short order).

And as long as I have watched this sport or read about it, it just seems that football attracts assholes and brings out the worst in people. So when you tell me you love football, you're telling me everything I need to know about you: you're a dickhead. No other sport puts up with the bullshit of its athletes like football does. And the fans complain but still watch, still pay extravagant sums to go watch because they are just as bad as the athletes their money pays ridiculous salaries to. What other championship event gets more coverage than the Superbowl? For what other championship do corporation spend millions to air commercials specifically made for this event (some of teh commercials are ok but what the hell was that horrible Doritos commercial they aired last year doing on TV??)? It's ridiculous.

Football truly is a sport as Meriam-Webster defines it below. It certainly isn't a game in any real sense.
