We should have forums that are only available to non usa folk - I and I am sure others don't give a monkeys re american sport and find the sport forum is littered with rubbish from over the pond :'(

Well - lets be fair here.
Football is a global sport and Americans seem to have a lot of games that are consumed only by Americans.
American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey, the elections
All fun for a bit of a laugh but the rest of the world doesn't really care ...
I tried watching the superbowl once but I didn't enjoy the sport interupting all my advert watching.
Cripes.
I bend over backwards to call American Football NFL or Grid Iron... and some want to break it up? Why? I weed through thread titles like Arsenal to get to REAL sports talk.
The last thing Russ or Chris want is another forum, they've always been reluctant to make new ones. When you click a thread, if it's not your topic just leave the thread. I find it quite easy to see what threads are enjoyed by US users, what threads are not, and some threads are actually enjoyed by people on 'each side of the pond'.
P-
