I'm curious as to why you're so certain it's Christianity. If you're going to bash my religion because you don't understand it, I feel I deserve to know why.

I'm curious too.. especially considering that Christians aren't against football.. or alcohol (in the most part).

Sanjay! You best watch the Super Bowl! You don't want to disrespect American culture, now do you? :P

Now only if I could get those American channels on my idiot box... ;-)Now I am getting curious too dear sos, pray tell me what does global "actually" mean?
Simple, we don't want people to go all "Remember, this is mostly a European and American audience". It doesn't matter which country the majority of the audience is from since we don't base our decisions on that factor. We cater/treat each and every member the same way and in the same light irrespective of the country they belong. Hence, deliberately posting things aimed to cause discomfort to a particular religion is discouraged.

This also means keeping your hate list to yourself. We have had cases of people expressing their dislike to a particular culture/person/religion and make a huge issue out of it. On some other forum we had a sucker who thought all Muslims were terrorists; he was of course banned. We have seen suckers acting all high and mighty just because they thought that being from *The Privileged Country*, they could spit out any amount of BS they wanted, which is obviously dead wrong.

In short, anything which hampers / hurts the community spirit in view of the fact that the community is formed by *members* of Daniweb and not some people from country A or country B. The decision of what exactly crosses the line is subject to the result of the discussion carried out by the entire mod community.PS: Just to keep matters clear, any references to 'you' or 'your' don't point to ZZucker but are used to drive across a point in general.

I reckon I'll watch some of it anyways. Turns out it's on two channels I have. Wasn't certain I could watch it before now. Who should I support? (First team mentioned wins)

I did. I wanted Wales to win and Ireland to win so I was happy on Saturday. France I always want to loose, unless they're playing England, so I was disappointed there. Ah well. I reckon France this year.

I watched the first half of the game last night. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I was set to watch it all until it was mentioned that there was a 45 minute break between halves.

I was going for the giants though -- they were the first team I saw so I thought why not.

french people are only snobs to ignorant tourists who expect them to know english , if you at least make an attempt to speak (proper) french then they will be much nicer to you.

You sure it's not resentment at having to be rescued by the British and Americans, not once but twice in quick succession?
