I'm being strung up because I like to watch Speed Skating? It's a fucking awesome event. Especially with such a strong American skater in Ohno.

a) You don't like hockey, but you like football, which is hockey on the ground, and speed skating, which is hockey without the contact and rubber object to hit?

b) You only like sports where Americans win. What's your priemership team? Are you pro or anti All Blacks?

No I don't only like sorts where American's win. For crying out loud. I watch bobsledding, luge, curling, and skiing too. I just like to watch Speedskating the most. Hockey is for people who think it's fun to get in fights all the time. I don't find fights to be entertaining.

Hockey is a huge contact based sport. It requires each player to have an exceptional skill of skating and playing coordination and requires rough physical contact, but doesn't have nearly the amount of team work, technicality, or tough rules as opposed to football. If I want brute force then I'll just watch boxing or wrestling instead.

I agree with kraken that football requires a lot more team work and preparation but hockey requires more physical skills it's not just about brute force. There is strategy to hockey besides the flying V seen in the mighty ducks movies. Physical contact isn't the only part of hockey. It helps but it's not essential. Size is also less important in hockey.

Actually, I fully agree with Kraken on this. Football, Marth, does take more skill than you obviously think. Not everyone can run like Reggie Bush or pass and run like Vince Young. It takes SKILL.
