| Message | Good god, not American "football". I would support cricket, but poker is better than jousting. Football is too boring and generic, and it's an overhyped game anyway. Cycling... that's just weird... |

| Message | Well poker really isn't a sport. Do you break a sweat from actual physical activity in poker? I rest my case. If we want something besides jousting I'd be fine with cricket since it does deserve credit for being one of the few games that is more boring than baseball, a hard feat I must say. Hey if no one likes American Football we can always use the sport that American football grew out of Rugby. ;-) |

| Message | When I say 'football' I refer of course to that which the Great Satan refers to as soccer. ;) |

| Message | Guys - even if you don't really love the poker suggestion, just think - can anything be worse than jousting? Support the poker now, just so other nations don't laugh at us. We can always change it even more later. |
