Bloomin' Football

[Taylortwocities]

Now, I need some help here, and I will admit that I am not a fan of football

Given what's been happening in the last year around this sport

• Crazy goings on at FIFA
• Alleged misbehaviour that causes the England Manager to step down after only a few weeks
• Reports of abuse to young people by sundry people who are in positions of trust

Can anyone explain to me why this pile of cr@p is called "the beautiful game"??

Exactly, Pete.
I know exactly where I'll be tomorrow at 2:30.

Football is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen. Then there was Bloodgate, Aron Smith in the toilet, Bledisloe scandal, etc. Until the humans are removed from sport, it will always be flawed.
F1 entirely different of course

I heard F1 was a rating for sport, F standing for Fun and the number afterwards from 1 to 10 the fun factor with 10 being the highest.
