[BigKahuna]

Anyone know of any Panthers bars in the DC area?

 

Thanks.

Um, what the hell is that avatar doing in a REAL football forum? No answer until it's changed.

 

You're welcome.

Both footballs are cool sports.

McFaddens (http://www.mcfaddensdc.com) is the bar regularly hosting the DC-area Panthers fan club.

 

There's another bar (off Constitution Ave, I think) that wasn't necessarily a Panthers bar but more like a bar for all NFCS teams. Lemme get back to ya on that one.

 

Edit: Ah, it was called 18th Amendment and closed in July of this year. Bummer.

I think it would be a travesty to call our sport "real football" when it's sorta clear which came first, which is internationally bigger, which more people play/have played even in America, etc.

There's really not much around here in D.C. but in general I just make friends with the bartenders at sports bars so they put the game on. But if you're in the area, look me up, and we'll start our own Panthers viewing party (nothing gay implied).

Yeah, just like it would be a travesty for people of faith to call theirs the one true faith, right? I mean, all those worshipped cows, or men with dog heads, or snake gods, or whatever, they can't be for real, even though they came first...There is no logic here. American football is REAl football. The other kind is FUTBAL... or just soccer. No sport that can regularly end in a tie is real football! :abe:

Disagree. Coming from someone who thinks it's ignorant to call their own faith the "one true faith" too though, so to each his own.

 

But when every country outside of the US knows the sport as "football" or "futball", or some sort of variation of that, and considering the sport came first and is clearly the world's bigger of the two, I do think it's wrong to say ours is the "real one".

 

Just like the Steve Smith example. It's clear which Steve Smith is the real Steve Smith.

I've lived in foreign countries for 7+ years of my life, and the people I've introduced to the game love it. Believe me, it isn't easy trying to teach it when my German and Tagalog is pitiful, but even with the language barrier, the people loved the different ways of attacking the defense and scoring.

 

Watching a Superb Owl once a year isn't enough to teach them adequately about the game. Given the choice, most people I met would rather play my game than theirs. We are simply an NFL Peace Corps away from world domination.

If you are outside of the viewing area, and you wish to watch the game, shoot me a message and i will set you up.

If we're arguing which football is the 'true football,' that's easy.  In which sport do the foot and the ball actually come into regular contact?  Seems clear to me...

[Growl]

soccer sucks

[LA_Panther]

I am a big fan of both sports. If you wanna get technical and have a pointless argument about what constitutes real football, one football actually uses the foot to handle the ball almost all the time (hence the name football) while the other one uses the hand almost exclusively to handle the ball (somehow the name football is used to describe it, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over that)

 

It is called soccer only in America, but the irony is that a British guy(I think) named it soccer :-)
