People do watch American football (handegg) in this country, but most watch actual football (soccer). Yes, a sports tag would be sensible if there are a number of topics on the subject. I cannot see any others at the moment. |

The entertainment tag works well here, although it's intended for film and TV rather than sports specifically. |

The boxers wore pink boxing gloves in support of some woman cancer institute. It was fun. I don't like general sports, but any match where the sportsmen really pour themselves into it is great to watch. |

My dad is the big football fan; American Football that is. I like a good football game, but not as much as my dad. Both my dad and myself have lived in the Atlanta metro area for the last 50+ years, and I remember the Atlanta Falcons coming here as an expansion team in 1966 when I was 7. I have been a disappointed Falcon fan since then. |

I could do badminton if I wanted to play with someone special, but wouldn't do it just for the sake of it. My father was always into sports, so I avoid them completely. |

I like the F1, and the odd 'real' football game when my sister is around to watch it with ('he's cute, go him!' makes it a comic master piece!). I also like to cycle in theory, and climb, but both are kind of unaccessible to me atm :( Oh, and World Rally is awesome - it's not on TV near enough! usualy just a 15-30 min best moments of the last few races... |

A well executed forward pass is a thing of beauty. The rules were taken from rugby and soccer.
