Won't argue about the first three, but over here hockey is not just a girl's game, it is a schoolgirl's game! My sister played it until she was about thirteen, then she grew out of it.

(Oh yeah, and continuing a theme from a previous post, out schoolgirls don't wear as much protection as your sissy professional hockey players seem to need.

Although fair enough about soccer being a girl's game, since your men cannot cope with it.

And I'd tell you exactly why rugby and American football are men's games, but there is a limit to the number of

this board will let me put in one post, and it isn't enough to hide behind if I did tell you. (Plus if I did, I think FanTC would probably splash out on an airline ticket to come over here and kill me.

) Suffice to say it involves the fact that they both have their origins in British public schools, and the fact that they are both 'contact' sports.

Aaah ecchi, you're confusing that silly limey game where the girls run around in short skirts with short sticks chasing a small ball around a soccer field with hockey.

It ain't the same thing at all.
If real hockey was played without protection there would be far too many deaths on the ice. I don't think your schoolgirls hit like this

You never had a sister did you? Believe me, not only do schoolgirls body slam as hard as that, they can hit harder. I'm not an ice hockey expert, but I don't think the rules allow smashing your opponent across the head with your hockey stick as hard as possible (without any head protection), schoolgirl hockey does (I think the rule goes something like "when the referee is not looking....").

And I can personally attest to the fact that it hurts (apparently there is another rule that goes "boys cannot hit girls, but thirteen year old girls can repeatedly beat their brothers about the head with a hockey stick..........when their parents are not looking).

I enjoy a good soccer match over American football any day. I think it has to do with what you grew up with. Personally I never understood the fascination with football, or baseball for that matter, in America. They just stand around doing nothing most of the time with short bursts of action and frequent breaks for commercials, but that's just me.

Saying that one sport is less 'manly' then the other is just silly.

I hope not, we don't want him back.
Caveat emptor - you bought him, you keep him.

Yes you can, we don't want her back either. She may look good, but there is always the risk that she may try to restart her singing career again.

(Obviously I use the word "singing" in it's loosest possible definition.)

(And I also I use the word "career" in it's loosest possible definition.)
