There are two simple tests for what does and does not qualify to be a sport: 1) Is it played in long pants? 2) Does it require the subjective view of a judge or panel of judges to decide the scoring (and ultimate winner)?

Don't be silly. A 60 minute game that often takes four hours to complete, where each side has three different teams that take the field at any given moment, with players who wear more protective clothing than a soldier on active service, where games are stopped because someone may fancy a fag and a "touchdown" is scored by not doing anything of the sort.

Quote ="Smew"Let me clarify what I mean here - I am referring to the style of commentary, slower, well spaced out with pauses for breath and action. Yes the content from French and davies is poor, but compared to what has now become constant chattering from the Sky team with no pause for letting the game just proceed - its really doing my head ">in.'" eusa_clap.gif" alt="eusa_clap.gif" title="CLAP" /> I couldn't agree more! For all the faults of Davies and French the commentary from the BBC is miles better than Sky. You can watch the game without loads of distractions. Too many egos on Sky loving the sound of their own voice. Just wish there were more games on the BBC though.
