[HPUKer]

...I enjoy the escape it offers from the "real world" and feel that it becoming mainstream would make it loose that edge

...I enjoy being an athlete while being able to live on a diet of 3 big macs a week

etc

I'm bored, trying to start a debate, discuss and add more and sorry if this has been done before

It would be such a boring show on TV, and it is too hard to follow for people who don't regularly play it.

Was thinking about that the other day, the only type of play IMO that would have a chance of getting on tv long term would be X Ball.

Too many petty maniacs with puffed up ego's and nothing but the opportunity to shout at marshalls / other players every sunday.

rugby/cricket/football .... only reason why they are simple to us is because we play them as soon as we can hold a ball....

How many people have you had to explain the offside rules to...



I do agree however that x ball would be the best one shown, otherwise you only have 2 mins of game time, before a break....
