Football (soccer) players rolling around on the ground and screaming because some opponent touched their ankle or in many cases, did not make contact at all. These guys would not last 10 minutes in a rugby match.

Football (soccer) is 90 minutes pretending you’re hurt. Rugby is 80 minutes pretending you’re not
Sorry, the only football that matters is SEC. 
While not the most compelling game in the world, at least with Kentucky they'd get a ranked team.
Makes sense. Harder for Kentucky to stay ranked since they play actual good teams every week.
Damnit man....now you have me defending Kentucky.
sorry fam, the SEC least ain’t it.
The conference rides on your back (and Alabama) already. You don’t have to defend them. They already use you to defend themselves.
Not sure what you are talking about...they have a deal with ESPN which changed one of their channels to the "SEC Network"....
I would love a televised feed of the Securities and Exchange Commission. I’d like to see what they’re getting up to all day, they sure don’t seem to be regulating any securities or exchanges.
Lol. Auburn. Approaching Nebraska levels of living in the past there.
As an Ohio State fan I would love for this to happen. Smart move on Apple’s part as the B1G media markets cover the largest cities in the United States with 4 historical top 10 programs with huge fan bases: OSU, UM, USC, and Nebraska with PSU also a huge name. The SEC media markets, on the other hand, consists of small southern cities with the exception of Atlanta.
Technology and sports are hardly the same thing. Besides, the SEC has won most of the national titles for 10+ years now.
Does 12 years ago really count as recently?
And all but two SEC wins were Alabama. Nobody said Alabama wasn’t good. In general the rest of the SEC rides on the coattails of their success.

I guess LSU winning in 2019 with one of the best teams ever isn't recent either, eh? You must exercise a lot to keep up with all of those mental gymnastics to avoid admitting the SEC is clearly the best conference in college football.
Clearly the 12 year comment was in regard to your inclusion of Auburn as “recent”. I also acknowledged the recent Georgia and LSU wins. Why the need to resort to being disingenuous? Alabama is dominant, but LSU and Georgia are no different than OSU or Clemson.
