For what it's worth (as if you cared!), here's what I think about your Yankee sports.

American Football: I played it at school for a while, only at break-times. It's OK, a bit to stop-and-start for my liking, but it seems too much like it's just Rugby for wimps!!!

Baseball: Not a bad game to play I suppose, we did a bit of Softball back in school, but baseball is too slow, a bit like Cricket (not all Englishmen like Cricket, you know!). I watched it on TV a few years ago when they first started showing it regularly over here but I had to turn it off. The Batter had about 4-5 chances to hit the ball but didn't bother, or was given another go! How can you call that entertaining?! America's national game? Why?!

Basketball: I have to say I can't fault this game. It has near-continual movement, the way a sport should be played, it takes skill to play well and it's good to watch. You hit the jackpot with that one. I myself still can't slam dunk properly, despite being black (stereotyping myself? :-/) and 6'2", but someday I will!

Are you sure you don't wanna give Football (REAL Football!) a try?
