Arena Football

Arena Football

I am not sure if any of you have had the privilege yet to watch one of these games, but I saw the Georgia Force v Philadelphia Soul game last night - well part of it anyway. And here was a run down of what I saw.

-Teams owned by Bon Jovi and Ron Jaworski. :hangs head in shame:
-Different rules based on which stadium the two teams are playing in. Stupid. Just stupid.
-Players who don't even break a sweat.
-An overall feel that this is just some guys who got together to play touch football (since you don't have to tackle in this league). There is NO suspense, excitement, drama.
-Interviews with players who take their station in life way too seriously.

I will not watch an AFL game again. Nor should you.

I understand that the management team for the NHL has done a piss-poor job of marketing their product, but it is 100x better than the AFL. I am almost ashamed to live in a country where a major sports network will not option the NHL but they pick up this garbage. (Yes, I am a hockey fan. Yes, I am biased. The AFL is still a joke.)

Lighten up.
Arena is better than flag football (barely).

Wow... how long has this league been around and this is the first game you've watched? Too much American Idol getting in the way?

I figured you would chime in more to tell me that there was no hockey on last night since the regular season is over and there are no games until the playoffs start tomorrow night.

I would rather watch Sanjaya sing than watch the AFL. There. I said it.

They show it on ESPN because ESPN owns half of the league.
