Yeah. Hockey got in the 80's and 90's the fame as the most followed spectator sport here, and is clinging onto it in any way possible. The Finnish Hockey Association already ridiculed itself closing the league to promotion and relegation, and is slowly destroying itself with its own arrogant ignorant attitude.

Football (soccer), being the most popular played sport but only the second-most popular spectator sport is gaining ground, slowly but surely. In Finland there's the total opposite class structure compared to for example England. Here ice hockey is the sport of rednecks while football is the sport of the middle class. In England cricket is the traditional sport of the middle and upper class.

Of course this is not completely true. As for example of my team's supporters engaging in - well, fights - are largely lowlifes, but there's university students among them too. Likewise among hockey fans include many of our brightest thinkers. In my field (which is history), many have a very negative approach to all kind of sports.

But maybe these pictures harassing the Havis Amanda statue will tell something about the nature of Finnish hockey:

Even though it's popular in Canada, it's kind of like a minor league for us. A lot of American players go to the CFL if they don't make a team here.

Are there NFL games on TV where you live?

Yes I realised that. He probably meant your football.

I am sure it is not true but I saw it on Twitter someone said they confirmed it from an english speaking country in Africa paid for by Israel I think.

I find Feminism so ****ing annoying. Seriously, ****ing annoying.

For fellow UK users on here, you may have watched 'the undateables' which is TV show about undateables (self explanatory) that range from people who are socially awkward, ugly, disabled etc

This guy in the article below has tourette's syndrome and aspergers yet because he is some hunk with huge muscles women from everywhere say he is not undateable at all

[url=http://www.hellou.co.uk/2016/01/people-are-freaking-out-about-tom-from-the-undateables-75366/]People Are Freaking Out About Tom From 'The Undateables' - helloU[/url]

Now I agree with this, if I saw a fit woman on that show I would think the same, yet these same women who are raving about this guy would be raging if it was beautiful curvy woman with tourettes and aspergers getting 'itemised' for her looks only

Adi from the Poosticks, where are you? Go and spread this drivel to your beloved relationSH*T forum, derpoid
