The one thing crazy in this story is racism.
Only the most burger-brained Amerikkkan crackkkers would be surprised to find out football is popular in Africa.
Lions are indigenous to ‘europe’ and should be reintroduced
Football is the game of the people. It’s not something I personally found fun as a child, but I get it. All you need is a ball, thats it. You can play it anywhere with any amount of people.

Rocks and sticks at things.
Three things needed.

You don’t need a physical goal, you can just agree on where the goal is. You can mark it in dirt or grass or with piles of coats and if you’re playing in an alley you can just agree that either end of the alley is a goal. You can also make do with just one goal, though that gets kinda weird and usually ends in arguments.
I’ll give you that maybe the thing you’re throwing at then doesn’t qualify either, so we can remove half an item (I’m leaving it as half an item because the thing you’re throwing at, has to be somewhat fun to throw at. It can’t be anything)deleted by creator
No this doesn’t bring football up from 1 item as I’ve just explained. This silly discussion is becoming weirdly real for some reason, so I’m gonna disengage
Thanks to this thread I’m now going through common sports and seeing what the trade off is between minimal equipment and typical rules.
Hockey’s minimal version is “shinny”, where you still need a puck, skates and a stick, as well as a usable ice surface which is realistically hard to come by even in cold weather areas with lakes/rivers due to the way ice freezes inconsistently. F tier.
American Football’s minimal version would be two-hand touch, which is still fun and can be played with just a ball. B tier.
Rugby is similar to American Football, only the touch version doesn’t really work, but hits aren’t as hard so you can get away without gear. A tier.
Baseball needs a ball, bat and glove. I guess you could play some positions without a glove, but it would detract from the game. C tier.
All racquet sports need a net, ball/device, and racquet. C tier
Volleyball has some drills/games that can be done without a net, but to really “play” you need the net + ball. C tier.
Basketball needs a ball and hoop. Fairly easy to find in a city, but still a costly piece of infrastructure. F tier.
Soccer is the only S tier I can think of because you really just need a ball to get 90% of the fun from the sport (full nets give you free reign for goal height).
Tag requires zero things
Would be cool if tag was a national sport tbh
Tag will become a national sport the day we get a national anthem that isn’t a hymn or a march.
Somalias national anthem is just the preset on a keyboard, if I remember correctly
He is obviously talking about the most famous player of street football in the human history: He doesn’t need a thing to play football.
Requires friends
How you acquire a football: spend $$$ in store.
How you acquire a rock and stick: walk around for a bit.
That is ridiculous, you play football with empty soda can until your neighbour find an old ball lost on some wasteland and you play that until you older brother pities you and offers you his old ball or until you get into a club and your parent don’t want to be ashamed by your rubbish ball.
Real
Ah fuck
throwing rocks and sticks at things haters in shambles
No I’ve since realised a flaw which makes me right once again. Rock and stick throwing isn’t a game with points, its just fun, so it’s disqualified from the discussion.
not if youre creative
Some boondocks type of shit
Here’s Americas most common game. No, it’s not steroid users getting concussed to the point of early onset dementia (all in the pursuit of brand sponsorship contracts). It’s… Oh… Wait. It is.

Here’s USA’s most common game. No it’s not being killed by the police after being evicted because you have diabetes and cant afford to live and pay rent (although that sounds exciting). It’s School shootings!
If you’re African and have been on the internet long enough, you get this more than you expect. I’ve been asked if I ride lions to school or if my TV was made of clay in video game chats.
North Africa and Central Africa BAD EVIL BACKWARDS
South Africa GOOD CHRISTIAN WHITE
I’m a white person from South Africa which makes it even more funny lol. A lot of them don’t even know that South Africa is a country, they think we’re the southern province/state of Africa or something.
Westerners think the entirety of Africa is a big ass desert with no water or food and the only people there are starving to death, also there’s lions.
Not true. Some westerners think Africa is a big ass jungle with no water or food and the only people there are starving to death, also there’s lions.
Yeah that, and they think Africa is some kind of singular country similar to the USA.
similar to the USA.
The most insulting thing you could say about any place.

Did they delete it yet
Englands must popular game is actually not football, it’s called Scrubby Globbers, it’s where you roll around in mud, eat the mud, and then say something racist about the Irish.
Or the sport where they risk life and limb chasing a cheese wheel down a steep hill
Unsurprising from the tech company that made an algorithm that categorized a photo of a black guy as “gorillas”
