Rounders was adapted to make baseball. I like rounders, your football, rugby and formula 1. I don’t like soccer because of the diving and the obscene pay – also the appaling character examples for kids to admire. Vive football Americaine!
Actually, calling it ‘gridiron’ here in Britain probably wouldn’t be understood – to Brits it’s ‘American football’. I was just being lazy, didn’t want to type a long name ;-)
apalling – ugh, it’s getting past my bed time
