I'm going to say (6) because like all non-Americans, you think American Rules Football has too much play stoppage. Europeans think American Rules Football is boring, yes?

Yes we do think its boring But that's not the answer, as I can actually watch this, in company and with a few beers its true, but I can watch big Americans getting flattened if I am in the right mood

I'm going to say Cricket since that would be the last thing you would think a Brit would hate. Kinda like an American hating baseball (which I do).

Hey guys! As a coach of "real" wrestling, I can tell you that it's anything, but boring if you know what's going on. I'm talking about the wide open style with throws and tilts of Olympic wrestling: Freestyle,or the all upper body Greco Roman style, or there is the more controlling style, that we in the United States do, Folkstyle. Not as flamboyant as "Professional Wreslting," however.

You got it Lash. "Soljer's Private War" was my first Legion comic. Came out, or I got it, after my father passed in 1975. You're up buddy. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.mikegrell.com/images/superboy/superboy210-h621.jpg)
