The only thing more boring than watching actual sorts is watching tabletop pretend sports.

Soccer, in all it's forms and variations is no more than a ploy to lower the competitive standards of the lower classes. 20+ guys run around for 90 minutes with neither side scoring any points and everyone exits the stadium to start the brawl over 'who won'.

When someone comes up with a tabletop version of Australian Rules Soccer, let me know. Until then, it's all baby toys.

My parents gifted my brother and I with an American football tabletop game. Worst toy I ever received.

Y'know, in certain fonts, an L followed by an I can look a lot like a U.

Needless to say, I was disappointed in the video.
