What is that damn background noise in all the World Cup games? Sounds like you're in a tunnel. WTF is that?

It's not any different than a stadium horn you'd find at a high school football game, they just give it a weird name. Annoying as fuck, though.

They've talked about banning them, but apparently they are an african tradition. I've never heard of them before.

S. African tradition my ass. They've only been around 10-20 years and are already banned in the S. African rugby league.

Another reason "Senor Keek-bol" aka fut-bol aka soccer is not really a sport and should be relegated to kids under 9.

I laugh at all of these. All in good jest. But it seriously just cracks me up, as, by "rule" ... these all go against the "rule."

Unprovoked personal attacks. SMH. Why have a rule?

I'm sorry to inform you, but despite it's name, I don't believe there is much blowing involved. :p

From a random website:
The most important defense to an action for defamation is "truth", which is an absolute defense to an action for defamation.

There is nothing personal here, Just a statement of opinion. For instance, I could say that You come off like an inbrred douchebag, With Freudian mother tendancies. This is not an attack, but an observation..
