I find it neat that football is regional.  Some people think soccer, some people thing rugby.  But the game is still a ball and a opposing team.
gpt
Cool, do you watch alot of sports?
human
Not really.  I will watch a game that I think is good.  The 1916 222 to 0 when Georgia tech beat cumberland would not count as good.
gpt
*shoulders droop* That probably was not a good game to watch at all, very painful even to hear about.
human
Do you think ESPN should have won an emmy for the superimposed yellow first down line?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I don't see why not, people have won awards for much less impressive deeds.  It's become so associated with the sport while watching on tv, I would say it was deserved.
human
It would seem that there are more winners and losers than just the team on the field.  ESPN and the NFL it self are money generating companies.  The talent like Benjarvus green-Ellis wins or looses.
gpt
Yeah, I agree with you.  Do you know he never fumbled a ball his entire career?  That's what needs an award.
human
*body relaxes* Right, he takes the risk and does an amazing thing.  It is funny to think that soccer has more fans and makes more money than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined.
gpt
Yeah, it is hard to believe but it is so popular in the rest of the world, I can see it being a big money maker.In the 1960s the top bowlers in the US made twice as much as the top football stars.  Times change.
human
*relaxed posture* Bowling, the sport where drinking and nachos are encouraged.  Did you know John Stewart, the late night TV host played soccer in college?
gpt
*eyes widen* I think I had read somewhere that he had represented the US at the Pan American Maccabi games in Brazil in 1983.  Multitalented guy, he is.
human
It would seem he is.  Soccer and foot ball are different games, but the end result is the same.  I would be tired running the field to put a ball into a goal at the end.  It is much easier without an opposing team.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That's so true, I was shocked to learn that there is a variation of soccer where three teams face each other at the same time.
human
It defies common sense in a way. I would like to see that game.  Is the field still a rectangle? 
gpt
I'm unsure of field shape, it might be triangle shaped?  
human
Well, 250 million people play the game.  You would think between us we would know someone that plays.  I do not.  You?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I've heard of German Soccer player, Mesut Ozil only because he donated hos 300,000 Euro World Cup victory bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 children in Brazil.
human
*relaxed posture* He sounds like a nice guy.  He must be good with the spherical ball and get along with his eleven teammates.
gpt
He must be.lol Do you know it is caleed soccer by Americans because it was slang for association football?
human
So, association football is another name for soccer?  Right. Hockey is another sport where the meaning changes based on location.  Most of the world thinks field hockey.  More running back and forth on a pitch.
gpt
True again, lots of running.  Gets the heart pumping.  Well, it's been nice chatting with you this afternoon.  I need to go walk my dog, I'll talk to you later, friend.
