I am indeed british! Phys ed here is not boxing though, not sure where you have that information from? In winter time we did winter sports - soccer, rugby, and indoor things - while in the summer we'll do summer sports, like athletics, tennis and cricket.
While the NFL is indeed barbaric on many levels, it does involve a great deal of tactics, teamwork, forward planning and execution as a unit in sync to win. UFC (and boxing) are essentially just two guys in a ring trying make each other unconscious. Yes, there are techniques to do it, of course, but the end result is still one of sheer physical dominance.
I have a similar attitude towards other sports geared around 'who can run/jump/swim/throw the furthest' - no tactics, just who has the most natural talent in any one area, essentially. Also, motor sports.
For me, give me any tactical game any day over two guys just trying to see who is more physically gifted. For that reason I prefer football and soccer above pretty much everything, but will also watch basketball, cricket, rugby, hockey, ultimate frisbee and netball before I get interested in MMA, cross country running and discus.

Huh? You think too deeply.

Spoken like a true Trump supporter. It's OK big guy, you're allowed to have feelings, nobody's going to judge you for wanting faceless people from the internet to like you.

Actually, Chris studies football - here he is, at least I think it's him.... "announcing" for a college game, in a
tape to get a job with a sports radio station. They started to do American football,
because cricket didn't do well over the radio....

Von Miller wants him in Denver......could Elway be that dumb?

Well Elway stuck with Miller through his drug problem and rehab., so who knows. Wouldn't cost much since they already have BO. I'm sure the requirement would be to go back to rehab. before discussing a contract. And Miller would be one helllofa sponsor in maintaining sobriety.

Chris, pardon my forwardness but, aren't you a Brit? where phys ed is essentially boxing class as opposed to the essentially worthless gym class (we have in my opinion) in the States? why would you describe UFC 196 as Neanderthal? are you one of those boxing elitists? **wags finger**
to be a fan of wonderfully barbaric american football and then say UFC is Neanderthal-esque is rather curious.
my interest is legitimately piqued. please, indulge me.
ps disregard if i'm mistaken and you are not from the UK and/or you are aware nearly every human alive has Neanderthal dna. also feel free to disregard if you hail from that rainforest pygmy tribe that are the only humans currently on Earth that don't have Neanderthal dna. or if MMA fighters killed your family or simply burned your village. thanks in advance for your reply.

What is netball.....I am not sure that is something we have much here....unless it goes by another name.

Seriously is it hard to imagine the conversation at the UFC fight? Johnny spinning his earnest desire to play better, be better? We've all heard it many, many times over the past two years...

More like basketball, but with a couple of differences - no running/dribbling with the ball; the court is broken down in to sections and you have to stay in your section. Mostly played by girls.

Maybe. Have never played. Seems about right.

Here is a video explaining it:
Essentially, it is a bastardized version of basketball.....though to me the sport seems unnecessary....as what they should do is to just play real basketball.

Largely,yes. In much the same way American football is a bastardised version of rugby.Here is a video explaining it
