Pro football is the stupidest thing ever.

FINALLY someone who agrees with me.

The game itself is stupid enough -- monsters of men running around in tights grabbing each other, but what's worse is that the entire "season" consists of only 16 games. That's ridiculous. How can a team possibly prove its alleged skill in 16 weeks? Someone could easily be injured for half or all of those games.

And it's so commercialised, it's not even funny.

I'm not a fan of any sports in particular (well, I follow NHL hockey), but if I had to pick any that was engineered purely for entertainment and the fans, it would be American football.

Yeah, pro sports like hockey and baseball and basketball all have a huge entertainment element, but at least with 80-100 or more games a season there's actually room to develop legitimate standings.

I disagree  :(

Especially with the first part. Football is a great sport. Entertaining. Not pointless. Hockey by far is worse. It's a very entertaining sport.
