Jamie123 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I'm talking about "proper" football - what you Americans call "soccer" - not that game of rugby where all the players wear motorcycle helmets! Quote
Lost_one Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I believe that although there will be a form of most things in heaven, i dont think it will be as it is now. Sports by there nature are competative. This can bring out alot of the negative aspects of human nature. Anger, jelousy and pride being some examples. I can see things like martial arts being very popular in heaven though. Judo and Wrestling especially. Oh and i think American football is a far better sport than soccer. Quote

Fiannan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Maybe there will be...but it will be played in the Telestial Kingdom for the entertainment of those in the Celestial Kingdom. Broadcaste live. Quote
hordak Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 It's your Canadian Brothers who came up with the best sport. Quote
john doe Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Why would they play a pansy game like that in heaven? Quote

Churchmouse Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I wonder if they will play on grass or "astro"id turf:) Quote
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 According to a Salvation Army hymn I learned in my youth, they already play American Football in Heaven. The hymn is called "Stay With God" but I don't seem to be able to find it on the net. Perhaps someone else will. Very rousing. Quote
rameumptom Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 It's your Canadian Brothers who came up with the best sport. The Canadian triathlon: Igloo building, herding caribou, and killing baby seals. Quote
Jbs2763 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 yes, but teams like the oakland raiders and dallas cowboys will not be allowed...too many felons Quote
WANDERER Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Might be a bit of an issue if they have soccer and no league. Quote
pam Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Maybe there will be...but it will be played in the Telestial Kingdom for the entertainment of those in the Celestial Kingdom.Broadcaste live. I have to agree with Fiannan. What's a good football game without the facemask penalties...the occasional fights...the non sportsmanlike dancing (whatever) after a touchdown. (Never understood that one...I'd be doing some kind of a dance too if I made a TD).Of course those in the celestial kingdom would be obeying all the rules, would go up and shake hands with the other team after each good play. Kind of boring if you ask me. Quote
john doe Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Games become pointless when everything is perfect. For every perfect play there will be a perfect defense and perfect players on each side will cancel each other out. The only way to win or lose would be if someone makes a mistake and perfect beings won't make mistakes. Quote
Moksha Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Hopefully the Mormon team will be represented by the University of Utah. :) Quote
Palerider Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 It's your Canadian Brothers who came up with the best sport. you mean Curling????.......:lol: Quote

Mahone Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I don't think anyone could disagree what the REAL football is Which type of FOOTball do you use your feet the most? Football or American football? I rest my case Quote
darkstarfox Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Heaven cant be perfect without football. Or at least proper football Quote
Jamie123 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 Heaven cant be perfect without football. Or at least proper football Couldn't have put it better myself! In FOOTball you kick the ball with your FOOT!!! You don't pick it up with your hands unless you're the goalie! Quote
Mahone Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 The REAL name for American football is gridiron Oh dear, this is going to be a UK/most of the world vs USA/Canada thing isn't it? Quote
WANDERER Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 With a little bit of Aussie harping about how real footy doesn't involve padding or prancing. Quote
Maya Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Ofcourse there will be soccetr in Heaven even american foot ball too and rugby! Quote
Jbs2763 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 The REAL name for American football is gridiron Oh dear, this is going to be a UK/most of the world vs USA/Canada thing isn't it? we won the war, we pick the sport:usaflag: Quote
