Football (American Style)

[Richie_B]

For anyone who does not know what Football is in America, I'll tell you it's amazing. Somewhat similar to rugby, but much much much much better and thats 100% true. There is 32 teams and I'm a Patriot's fan, anyone with me?

First off, there is no way it's better than rugby. There is no padding or helmets in rugby but there is in American football. You can't say this is because of the hits since they are just as hard if not harder. I can find some videos clearly showing this if you want. Therefore, rugby players are tougher. Secondly, American football stops every couple of seconds because that's generally how long plays last. Rugby is continuous except for lineouts, scrums etc.

I've never seen a soccer game where a player has to be taken away in an ambulance. They get up and come back on the pitch 99% of the time. The sheer overabundance of flopping voids any legitimacy the game used to have.

I don't disagree that soccer players are extremely soft but I'm just saying that I've seen videos where players have died playing soccer.

Well if this were still the 19th century, that might mean something. Europe doesn't matter anymore. The 20th century belonged to America, and it looks like the 21st is going to be focused on China.

Who made America great? The Europeans. If they hadn't discovered it and emigrated over it would not be what it is today.

2. the toughest sports players in the world are in american football, you don't see that in futball

Hurling players need to be much tougher and hurling is the fastest field game in the world.
