Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I've come to realise that Americans don't like sports per say. They like the spectacle. It explains why they prefer American football to football. Four hours of show to one hour of actual sports.

It also explains their attitude to expansion teams. From a European perspective, getting a fanbase to "love" your team within a year of creation is wild. Most newly created teams in football are detested and get labeled as being "purchased" rather than having fans, even if they win. A fandom is something you get from growing up with a team, and you never, ever change the team.
