Why are American sports so complicated to just go out and play?

>baseball
Need a bat, balls, bases and mitts

>football
Need padding at least 22 guys and a goal post

>hockey
need skates, sticks, a puck and ice or pavement

>basketball
Need pavement and a high hoop

For soccer and rugby you literally just need a ball
>>
Hockey is the only sport where you need a ton of stuff. Basketballl is literally soccer in that you need a goal and a ball. Football you just really need a ball, you can play 2 hand touch with less than 22 people.


Jesus fuck dude, you need 22 people and pads (shinguards) and goal posts to play soccer too just like football
>>
God fuck you and your stupid meme shit. Your argument for football is so fucking stupid.


Baseball and hockey are the only two that are more complicated and everyone should own a baseball glove and bats can be improvised
>>

basketball you need a ball and hoop, how is that different than soccer?
>>
>baseball
Bat and ball

>basketball
Ball

>football
Ball and friends

You need that retarded basket, though. In football when you don't have an actual goal post all you have to do is place your flip-flops or rocks in there.
And by doing that you also condition yourself to shoot the ball low, which is tougher to defend.

You can't do that in Basketball, and there's no bonus to actually improvising.

>>66495654
desu, baseball is very simple to play a streetball version and you can play touch football with like 6 people. You aren't making a clean comparison if you are saying the goals/lines/nets/uprights aren't necessary for soccer and rugby.

You can't play proper football without linemen and a rush offense
>>
>>66495775
Hang a damn circular rim on a wall, or use a literal basket (that's how the game was invented)
>>
>>66495775
I grew up poor and we used a milk crate with a hole cut in it as our hoop
>>
>>66495654
All you need for basketball is a ball, and find a hoop. There are plenty in local larks.

What's a lark?

You autist, you don't even need a post for soccer.
>Put up two sticks in the ground
>put them a certain distance from each other
I'ts fucking nothing. I've even used my shoes as goalposts.
>>
>>66496020
Not even that.

You can just practice dribbling/handles on any hard surface like pavement, clay, or wood.
>>
>>66496088
We literally used kids as goalposts once.
I shit you not it was part of our rules, they could kick and clear it as long as they stayed in the same spot
>>
Friendly reminder Gazza learnt how to play by watching Cruyff on TV and replicating his skills with the one tennis ball he owned.
>>
I never met a kid who didn't own a baseball mitt and you could use anything as based

That's actually rounders you yank nonce
>>
>>66495775
Nah. Firstly there's a basketball court in literally every Park and school and gym. But if you're still not close to those you can just make a mark on a wall and claim that to be the net. Whoever hits that mark scores etc.

for being a faggot you literally need being (You)

>>66495823
That's his point though, you need those as much as you need pads and helmets to play Am. football on grass. For both sports all you need is some guys to play, a ball, and endzone/goalpost markings.
