Besides considering the fact that american football is played more with hands than it is with feet, the point of calling that pitiful excuse for a sport 'football' is non-existent. |
Hahaha, pitiful excuse for a sport? oh please :rolleyes: 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. |

THE PAIN TRAIN IS COMING BABY, WOO WOO, WOO WOOOO |
I'm American and I even agree that isn't really football. |

Now if you want to talk about a real men's sport, watch rugby, that's a proper sport. |
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 other than the playoffs anyways? All sports are complex, i just find american football boring. Ah well, it's only my opinion. |

She doesn't have to worry about this because I can't stand SOCCER. |
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 :eyespop: |

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. :nervous:
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. |
