Eric Galvan of IV Press defends American Football

berimbau

A fellow in Brawley sent a letter to the IVpress editor regarding riots in football (soccer) stating American football puts you to sleep. This was a funnny remark, but it obviously hit a nerve at IVPress' sports, since it resulted in a huge rant of how Amrican football is the best in the world...this was also funny for its stupidity.

What a buffoon Eric Galvan makes himself sound like by claiming that American Football is the best sport in the world. This is your typical American mentality where United States citizens consider themselves to be the best at everything.

I watch the NFL and I like it, but it is damn boring. All the penalties that cause the game to slooooooow down really piss me off. That's why I prefer watching games on NFL Replay where they eliminate all the BS and cut it down to just one hour. The same applies to all sports, but soccer and basketball are probably the most exciting team games out there.

But what kind of remark is that with the Kenyans? Kenya doesn't even have a decent soccer team and are ranked 127 in the FIFA World Ranking just a few above Borat's own Kazakhstan. EG doesn't know WTF he's talking about and to insult third-world countries because they do not possess planes, trains and automobiles is just rude.

American Football is exciting, but on average only for about 20% of the game. During the other 80% you'll find most viewers just talking smack about other things and drinking beer. The ones that are actually watching the game taking down stats on their notepads are only valued for their DD abilities.

So Eric Galvan, it's best you just STFU before you get swarmed by a mob of pissed of united Chicalones wearing America and Chivas jerseys during your next reporting assignment. It might already be too late, so consider changing your identity, that is of course if you even set foot into Mexico for tacos.

I believe I'm the minority in this, but I hate fooball. I can't even sit through 5 minutes of a game.

Other than the fact that it's pretty boring, there are other issues wih the whole concept of football. It usually brainwashes kids into thinking that it's the ultimate sport and if you are good enough at it, you can set academics aside and dedicate yourself to it (because let's face it, the real world totally gives a shit about how good you were in football back in high school). Wanna be a top football palyer? You need a huge gorilla-like body. Forget all those sissy cardio exercises that are actually good for you. A few shots of steroids, rigorous masturbation, and constant weight liftng will get you what you need. Who needs brain when you have brawn, right?

Don't get me wrong, I really have nothing against people that watch the sport or like to get together for a game and have a few beers. But the mentality that elchrist mentioned coupled with the "you're a good football player, you don't need English or math" attitude is pretty much the issue I have with it. Not to mention, athletes that practice soccer, tennis, swimming, and even skateboarding are obviuosly in much better shape than any pro football player I have ever seen.

Could he be related to Mexican comedian Miguel "La Tartamuda" Galvan?

They sure look alike.
