Hahaha, pitiful excuse for a sport? oh please I can't think of another sport out there that requires as much team co-ordination as football does. It's easily one of the most complex games out there.

Rugby's just a bunch of idiots running into eachother. If that's a sport then surely picking your nose must be too

It's also full out start and stop for 3-4 hours of " exciting " sport who gives a shit other than the playoffs anyways? All sports are complex, i just find american football boring. Ah well, it's only my opinion.

pfft... "soccer"

I think everyone can agree that it at least SHOULD be called Football.
In, as you call it, "soccer" players use their feet 99.9% of the time, where as in American football they only kick the ball during goal kicks and kick off which makes up for like 2% of the game... if anything American Football should be called Soccer.

American football should be called "handball"......you use your hands most of the time anyways.

I guess handball didn't sound hardcore enough so they decided to use football and develop their own word for football to cover it up

Totally.

"who's ready for a game of HANDBALL!?!?!" just doesn't have the same effect.

Lol, as if.

Rugby requires lots of strategy, but with football (American), there is a much larger risk of injury than rugby. Why? In rugby, most tackles are made within a short distance of each player, whereas in football, players usually run a long distance before tackling. Furthermore, in football, the equipment is used as a weapon just as much as it is used as protection. Try getting headbutted in the kneecap by someone wearing a football helmet after a 10 second dash.

So in conclusion, many people think rugby is more of a "real man's sport" than football because they don't wear equipment. This is actually not true.

Wow, couldn't have said it better. Didn't you play rugby though?
