Football (American Style)

[Zen Master]

as i said before, over 100million viewers at last super bowl, you kind of football(soccer) gets boring after 2 minutes, tens of thousands of people attend every American football game, it it has some of the most athletic players on the planet for any sport

well your wrong there are more soccer followers then american football followers
there are about the amount of ppl watching a normal game of soccer as the super bowl
imagine the world cup in comparison

and i played both sports i can say i enjoyed soccer alot for beeing state champs every year
i liked football but not as much as soccer or basketball
if you ask me you need more control for those games\

1. the sport requires much more talent than soccer(futball)no requires different set of talents

2. the toughest sports players in the world are in american football, you don't see that in futball
no i would say wrestling boxing or mma
3. Millions upon Millions of people watch it
other sports have a bigger following
4. Invented by Americans, great sport inventors!
not bigg on sport history but im pretty sure football was rugby in england and started there
5. if you are a player in american football, you can expect an injury at any timehow is this a good reason

6. the game is much much more entertaining than soccer, you can watch game after game of american football and love every second of it
an opinion not stated by any statistics
7. tens of thousands of people attend every american football games, and millions watch it ok already adresssed this

8. the Super Bowl is the most watched ans attended sporting event in history
you said this in different ways like 3 times already
9. you can use every body part

10. very fast moving and exciting game
no it realy isnt the game stops every 2 mins or less
THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE DON'T LIKE AMERICAN FOOTBALL IS BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER REALLY SEEN IT. I'VE WATCHED FUTBALL(SOCCER) AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES i WAS BORED OUT OF MY MIND, I GAVE IT MORE CHANCES BUT ALWAYS SAME RESULTS.

to finish off i would like to say patriots suck and i am american but i dont believe americans are any better or worse than anyone else

1. the sport requires much more talent than soccer(futball)
No it doesn't.
2. the toughest sports players in the world are in american football, you don't see that in futball
You don't need to be stacked to play american football.
3. Millions upon Millions of people watch it
Millions of people watch Twilight. Does that mean everyone should?
4. Invented by Americans, great sport inventors!
Its not an invention if its a variant of something already in existence.
5. if you are a player in american football, you can expect an injury at any time
You can expect this in pretty well any professional sport.
6. the game is much much more entertaining than soccer, you can watch game after game of american football and love every second of it
You can't keep comparing two different sports like that. They're different. Different people will like them.
7. tens of thousands of people attend every american football games, and millions watch it
Didn't you already make this point?
8. the Super Bowl is the most watched ans attended sporting event in history
Actually, the Olypmics are.
9. you can use every body part
I dare you to use your junk. I dare you. Or your neck. Or your nose..
10. very fast moving and exciting game
About the only point you've made I can agree with.

I have tried (unsuccessfully) to watch all sports. I've watched both Football, and Handegg, and I can't watch either. I also can't watch hockey, baseball, basketball, rugby. The list goes on. The only way I actually like Handegg is when I'm playing a game with a few friends.

1. true, but there is a difference between kicking a ball and throwing balls 70 yards, catching a ball while being hit with one hand, and tackling someone three times your size

2. i may agree with you, but then again it depends, while you get hit more in mma and wrestling, you can get absolutely clobbered in american football

3. true, but the reason that is, is just because America is the only nation that plays it, actually there is a Canadian Football league

4. yes rugby was invented in England, but American football requires more, much more skill, planning and way more talent and is so so much different and better

5. it's not something good, but it shows how tough you have to be to play

6. ok can agree with that

7. included number of people attending

8. no, this states that american football holds the spot for most popular sporting event on tv and attendance

10. you ever seen what goes down every single play?


and i never stated americans were greater than anyone else

Football was made from Rugby when it was brought to the USA then the inventer made a little changes and then we had football.

I watched Dolphins versus Green Bay yesterday(?) but I got bored because each play lasted only a couple of seconds and usually ended up with little or no gain. There obviously was the occasional play that was reasonable to watch but they were few and far between.

1. true, but there is a difference between kicking a ball and throwing balls 70 yards, catching a ball while being hit with one hand, and tackling someone three times your size
yes there is to be able to kick a ball with accuracy and power takes more talent then throwing
2. i may agree with you, but then again it depends, while you get hit more in mma and wrestling, you can get absolutely clobbered in american football if you ever had a football work out a then joined a martial arts gym and tried to do the work out you would be surprised at the difference

3. true, but the reason that is, is just because America is the only nation that plays it, actually there is a Canadian Football leaguealmost had to correct you again

4. yes rugby was invented in England, but American football requires more, much more skill, planning and way more talent and is so so much different and betterif you say so buddy ill take your word on what you say since youve only stated facts and not your biased opinion

5. it's not something good, but it shows how tough you have to be to play

I do like American Football, but lets be honest, it's really just rugby with lots of padding and more rules..

The only thing that is ****ing me off about this thread is that soccer isn't called futball. In English, it's either called football, or soccer. Not "futball." Get it straight so that you don't look like the perfect example of the bigoted idiots that America is known for.

please tell me why we're idiots? is it because we are one of the most if not the most advanced nation on earth? is it because without us you would be speaking German right now because Hitler's son would rule the world? is it because we have saved so many countries from disaster? is it because we save thousands of lives in Haiti after the earthquake? is it because we gave millions of immigrants second chances at life? is it because without us Russia could take over the world? could you tell me why because I can't figure it out?
