American Sports
What sport has America invented?
Basketball - Derived from Netball a British game played by schoolgirls.
Ice Hockey - Derived from Hockey, a British game played by schoolgirls Just add ice
Baseball _ Derived from Rounders, a British game played by schoolgirls
American Football - Derived from Ruby Football but Americans have to wear armour to play it & the ball goes dead as soon as it hits the ground.
Having travelled in America & been to watch baseball, basketball & American Football, all i can say is what a load of s**t, No atmosphere........... I'd rather be at Carra
