okies this isnt meant to offend anyone

Rugby - Real mans game
Football - Real mans game
American football - Men trying to play rugby, but dont wanna get hurt so they wear loads of padding (or is that just to make themselves look bigger)
soccer - 5 aside girls game

this is only my opinion no offence

*gets down on knees and prays* please dont get pounced on by many men for this (but then again)

American football = football with pads

I despise American football so much.

How does that line go in Baseketball...

"More thought goes into executing the celebration the follows the play than the play itself"


and the Superbowl is an all-day advertisment...

1) that makes no sense. soccer is futbol so how can it be more girly.

2) what makes futbol more manly than any other sport? is it their short shorts and big socks?

3)American football is not trying to be rugby. If you know anything about football its a totally different sport. My sister plays rugby in the states on a pro team so i have seen it quite often. If they didn't wear pads would that really change anything? No. They dont need to look bigger, especially when you weight 250-300lbs.

No offense taken we all have opinions, I just like opinions to be backed up by reasons rather than just calling something "girly" or "manly". If you get pounced on i have a set of "american football pads" for you to wear.

if you want to bring in the "boring" aspect. try another sport too. An American sport, NASCAR. I am a fan of F1 racing *ohh i wonder whos going to win this race... Ferrari maybe?* but i am a bigger fan of nascar due to the higher risks and it being a more even field. But still people label it as boring, and say only Americans watch it. I know of Japanese people that wake up at 2AM to watch a race live. Nobody watchs it? Then why are the stands which on average hold 100k-300k people FULL.

Onto my point. Never call a sport boring because there are always those who enjoy it.

I myself enjoy soccer i have played it since i was 5. Although American football is really fun to go watch and play.

What a load of crap, us Aussies call it soccer as well, as we have our own footy code: AFL (Although Rugby is big down here as well).

But yeah, soccer all the way.

You need patience to watch football. (The one that the whole world loves) Too many people in the society lacks patience these days.

And a thumbs up to rugby.

what's to accept, im not a big football fan anyways. I think the playoff games can be quite exciting though. I just hate people comparing it to soccer just because of the name when they have nothing to do with each other. I'd say soccer is more comparable to watching paint dry than football.


I'm a basketball fan. Are you guys gonna say it can't be called that either because it doesnt use a basket?

Soccer all the way. Its more of an art than a sport. The way the goals are scored are beautiful, legendary if they are unique. No one remembers a touchdown, there all pretty much the same. But a goal is something different. I like watching the spanish league. Real Madrid is my team. But again as they said , i got like 100 channels of football and only crappy soccer.

Why does everyone always bring up the "Why do they call it football when they hardly use their feet" in every single American football thread. Get over it already! You don't see Americans coming in every thread asking why they call it cricket do you? Funny tho it's always the same person echoing the anti-American sentiments.

I like both if it's any consolation.

I like both Footballs.I play real football and to watch I like American Football more unless theres a world cup or champions league game.Its weird how in sports shows here like sportscenter they show highlights of sports that are much more boring like golf and nobody seems to have a problem with that yet there are so many big soccer games around the world and it gets no airtime.I speak spanish so I'm lucky I can see the soccer news/games on the spanish channels.

For everyone who calls American football boring, absolutely nothing is more boring than watching the f---ing Italian soccer teams play to a 1-0 win.
