In fact, its so boring that the spectators spend most of their time singing songs and causing riots.

That must be the game on ESPN2 at around two in the morning that puts me to sleep all the time. Riots are fun though. Even better than the car wrecks during neckcar.

You want to see an incredibly boring game try watching cricket. It makes baseball seem like a contact sport.

No way!

Personally, I prefer the 5 day game version of cricket (test cricket).

7 hours a day for 5 days

The Afrikaners ARE African,why would they leave?

Perhaps the other Africans should stop murdering them?

Too easy for you?

Most of the crimes going on over there are never reported in the West.

Even those of us who are inclined to doubt what you say might find this discussion a little more worthwhile if you actually presented some evidence for your claims.

I agree with the abstract proposition that the settlers should not be subjected to genocide, even in light of the crimes they perpetrated against the native Africans for centuries.

At least you get some scoring unlike the D-Backs at Dodgers game

And at least cricket players don't need those girlie gloves to catch the ball.
