Football is for Dimwits? – Page 2 – Chat Forum – Singletrack World Magazine Forum

Can’t remember where I read this, but apparently the popularity of certain sports is being used as a barometer of intelligence. An indication of the average intelligence levels within society can be observed via a measure of the points system of various mainstream sports: 1) A more intelligent society will show a tendency toward sports with a more challenging points system. Examples of this would be: Darts … count down to exactly 0 from 501 in potentially pretty much any permutation of singles, doubles & treble combinations Snooker … sum of sequences of numbers between 1 and 7, plus calculating remaining points on the table & the impact of fouls/snookers Tennis … 15, 13, 45, Deuce, Games, Sets, Lets etc Rugby … varying points awarded for a try, conversion, penalty goal etc 2) The more stupid society is will be reflected in a tendency toward sports using unbelievably simple points systems that even a chimpanzee could be taught to understand. Examples of this would be: Football … 1 goal. 2 goals. er, 3 goals?. um… If this is true/serious, all the attention that Footballism recieves reveals that society, after millions of years evolving, is now clearly regressing at an alarming rate...

I like football because I am extremely stupid and incapable of coping with the complexities of other vastly superior sports.

I may well be an idiot, but at least I'm a happy idiot. 🙂

I don't mind football at all. I happily watch internationals or European matches.

I just enjoy rugby a bit more, that's all. It's all good, it's all sport.
