EA SPORTS UFC to be developed by Fight Night team at EA Canada

What in the blue fock does that have to do with watching football? This is the softest !! I've read in my life. [pic]

The same reason people in the entertainment business hates Chris Brown. They dont condone what he did. Those things I listed about NFL players breaking the law, driving drunk, beating women, beating there wives, being dead beat dads etc I'm not cool with any of that !!. I dont care how many TDs you score if you beat women I dont want !! to do with you. I know its not all NFL players but its enough to make me not watch. Every week its some NFL player getting arrested driving drunk or doing something !!ed up that causes them to be bailed outta jail. This week its Dez Bryant next week its gonna be somebody else.

You'd be surprised how many fans the NFL is losing because of the bad media the players get from off the field incidents. And you'd be even more surprised at how many NFL players themselves are sick of the over excessive celebrating there's a reason they get fined and penalised for it.

Wait I thought this past year the NFL made more money and did better ratings then they have the year as well as the year before that? How are they losing fans when its more popular then its ever been? And how do you know nfl players are sick of "excessive" celebrations and seeing how they get flagged for it I dont see it nearly as much as years passed

Man.. Don't pay this man no mind.

The NFL is BOOMING. Greatest sports organization in the world

nicca what in the fock are you talkin bout? Chris Brown is one person. You talkin bout you quit watching the NFL entirely because of what a couple players did off the field. [pic]

They are just 1 player. There are 52 other players on the team, yet you decide not to watch the team based on what one person did in their free time. That is some soft[..] !!. [pic]

How do you manage to contradict yourself that quickly? [pic]

And why do you care that he doesn't watch the NFL? Does it have an impact on your ability to enjoy 3hrs of commercials with supposedly 15min of actual playtime? If the man doesn't like it because of the actions of the players, the very people that represent the sport itself, then he doesn't like it. Case closed.

We have already went over why business is booming, cause there is nothing but !!ing adverts and we have also went over that being the only reason they are there. Im sure the premiership and other leagues would be booming atleast twice as much if they could ram over 30 minutes of commercials down our throats each game




Football, whether it is professional or collegiate, is becoming an American passion. Every Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, people across the country turn on their television sets to watch their favorite team hit the gridiron.

Today, however, this game we have all come to know and love is being interrupted by an endless stream of advertising that honestly costs more than some players on the field get paid. It was reported that for the Super Bowl between the Colts and Saints in February, 2010; if a company wanted just 30 seconds of air time, that company would have to dish out at least $2.5 million.

And, believe it or not folks, that price has gone down. In 2009, the price of airing an average length commercial during the Super Bowl was about $3 million.

But that was just during the Super Bowl, and it is almost; and I use the word lightly, understandable since that is when companies usually try to throw out their best.

Think about it though. According to recent reports, during an NFL game, there is only about fifteen or so minutes of actual playing time.The rest is devoted to commercials for other shows that may appear on that network; car companies showing off current and future models; various personal hygiene products, and really anything else you can think of.

And even when the graphics come up showing you some statistics for a particular team or player, some company's name is across the top, sponsoring that few second long graphic.

And, in my opinion, it is taking away from the game.

Big time.

I sat down to watch a college football game not too long ago, and honestly, I really lost interest. The ball was kicked off, the network goes to a commercial; they come back, a team goes through their first series with the ball, and the network goes to another commercial.

God forbid they have to review a call, or there is a turnover.

Then there is the NFL. Sometimes I feel like I am watching commercials with football in between.

So many Americans dedicate so much time to this game, whether it is trying wrack up fantasy points, or simply because they love it. So why can they not see more of what they love?

Now, before you business people out there start freaking out; I realize that these advertisements can pull in some big bucks. But honestly, when I have to see the same Geico, or Michelin commercial no less than ten times during a game, that does not make me want to buy their products.

It makes me want to break something.

So really, instead of adding another few games onto the season like they are thinking of doing; why not just take a few commercials out? Why not ease up on some of the endless repetition?

But I used the word passion in the title for a reason. Americans are passionate about the sport, and therefore they put up with the constant commercial interruptions.

So as long as we put up with it, networks will make their money; companies will show off their products; and in the end we will get to see the game we all love.

Football.



So there is 15 minutes of action in a 3 hour broadcast? only in America (and thank !! for that). If only Ireland was bigger(over 300 million people kinda big) so our countries 2 main sports could get the recognition American football does worldwide(everyone outside the US knows American football exists its just nobody likes it, people would love hurling)

I tried to EXPLAIN to them why I dont watch it you know give reasons but thats my fault I shouldve used way more similies


This got way off topic

And again still more action then soccer. I'd rather have commercials then guys just kicking the ball back and forth for 90% of the game plus act like they been gutted with a shotgun everytime there touched.

It got off topic because you in a UFC topic talkin some soft !! like you don't watch football because Michael Vick got convicted of dog fighting. [pic]
