I'm American and I think it's ridiculous that we call football,football especially since the kicker is the only one who touches the ball with their foot. Stupid. |

In my opinion, it should be called American Rugby or something. Seems to have similar principles but I'm no sport buff. As for actual football, well, that should be just for us Brits who came up with it. :p

Oh no we would never call a sport American (insert blank) we would come up with a new name to mark the greatness of the sport, football is king in the US. Plus rugby is significantly different. |

As mentioned, there is hardly any use of the foot, and that is the most oddly shaped 'ball' I've ever seen in any sport.
Should be called 'We are so strong we ram each other wearing half a kilo of cushions' |

well those guys probably need some kind of protection if there are 5-7 300+ pound guys wanting to jump on top of you. :) yay for overweightness. |

all that 'strategy' that goes on is a serious laugh. its a wonder there are millions of people so mad after it in the USA. one would think there aren't any better sports played/broadcasted there |
