No way! I'd put my mothers knowledge of sports up against just about anyone I meet.
Those are just the people that I know that don't understand those sports.

It's easy.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
American football is a unique sport -- it is a game about gaining territory as much as it is about scoring points. When two teams step onto a football field, each is battling for every inch it can take from the other. Each team wants to defend the field that is behind it and invade the field in front of it. Ultimately, they want to gain enough ground to score a touchdown or field goal.
Baseball is a game played with a bat, ball and glove. The fundamentals of the game involve throwing the ball, hitting the ball, and catching the ball. Of course, the execution of these three tasks is more challenging than it sounds, and it is that challenge that compels baseball players to play the game.
Unlike most games, a running clock does not limit the length of a baseball game. The two competing teams play over a period of innings, which are subdivided into halves. Professional and college games are generally nine innings long.
During the first half of each inning, the visiting team bats and attempts to score points, called runs, while the home team players take their respective defensive positions in the field. The defense's goal is to get the offensive team's players "out" in a variety of ways. After three outs are recorded, the teams switch -- the offensive team moves to defense, and the defensive team moves to offense. The batting team sends one player at a time to try and hit the ball.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Why the hell are you only allowed to use right-handed sticks and only use one side of it in field hockey?

Let's just answer the basic question and move on. It is obvious that this person is just trying to get people's piss.
bayernfc said:I guess the only other sport you mentioned that I may like is baseball, but let's face it in Toronto, there isn't a decent team to support.
Headache in a Suitcase said:soooooo, there is more than a decent team to support. they're pretty good.

The entire nation of Canada just doubled over in laughter when you called the Toronto Blue Jays "pretty good".
I get the feeling the team's going to be absolutely dismantled this season (apparently this past season was a lot more expensive than the owners were planning on, and it still didn't get them close to the playoffs), Vernon Wells is going to take off, and we'll be left with another 10 years of shitty baseball and low crowds in Toronto before someone wises up and moves the team to Hartford.
Shea Hillenbrand was right.
