I've just checked the definitions of some American sports
Basketball - big bloke gets ball, runs across varnished parquet flooring & lobs ball in net, other team's big bloke gets the ball & runs in the other direction across the varnished parquet flooring & lobs ball in net, this continues until some yank puts his cheeseburger down & sounds the horn to indicate the game is over & a team full of big blokes has won 68-66, everyone then whoops & high fives
Baseball - daft lad's rounders
NFL - Rugby league but with helmets, shoulder pads & facepaint

Accurate. The only sport I watch will any sort of regularity is football. I have high respect for rugby, but don't understand it all that well. Baseball is horrible. Basketball requires high levels of athleticism so I do appreciate that, and since over half the NBA smokes weed, I have much respect. Hockey bores me lately. I used to play football against Steve Yzerman, if you happen to know who he is. He was good at that too.

Good choice in that case, lash a load of those piss weak American beers all afternoon and still sober enough to drive home.
Cricket: boring. Only drama in the ashes was when the posh blokes booed the Aussie bloke in the club bar.
American sports: all crap, see Eddies comments. And the fact they have World championships in sports only they play just sums up their attitude.
Rugby: probably fun to play, crap to watch.
…and Cheerleaders.

As a keen drinker of beer, I can get a bit fussy about the stuff, but I'll quite happily sup any sort of beer all afternoon as opposed to drinking coca cola or some such offering.
I even accept these 00 Alcohol-free beers when I have to drive over to see the girls, rather than drink that other fizzy pop on offer.

But explaining cricket to an American is so much fun:
"It can take 5 days to play out a match"
"oh my gahd. 5 days?"
"Mmm hmm. And it can still end up in a draw"
"Whut"?
"We have scheduled breaks for lunch and tea, too"
"Are you f'real, man"?
"Yes. And it's dependent on the weather. You're not seeing any action if it rains"
"Uhhhmmm"?
"Aye. None of your instant gratification, Yankee"
"And y'all like this shit"?
"F*cking love it, pal"

Sounds a bit like me when enjoying a few beers in Lefty O'Doul's bar/restaurant in San Francisco. An intense sporting discussion after a casual remark during an ad break in the course of watching what was apparently a really tense game on TV, which appeared to be going slowly, so I mentioned it was almost like cricket, but not as interesting.

I was told NFL games last for just over 3 hours but the ball is actually in play for only 11 minutes.
That's a condensed athleticism.

The Gold Cup Final was great entertainment. Very enjoyable game to watch.

Had a teacher in high school who played football in the NFL and he f**ked his shoulder once, and for the pain took some sort of shot with the needle about a foot long! A year later the doctor at the chargers when he signed there said “if you get hit there again you’re done forever”.
Different era of football he played in, now he’s a history teacher and a high school football coach.
