Yes, thanks for that. It pointed out more effectively what I was thinking, and reminded me of when I played a little bit of football too. It was brutal, but nothing compared with rugby...which requires much more endurance (played it once, got a broken nose) and somewhat more intelligence (trying not to get killed). In football, you can risk a bit more because of the pads.

But football does have bigger, more powerful dudes, so the hitting would be harder.

That's not the only reason why they wear all the pads, IMO, though--half those pads are redundant and almost impede or restrict more than they might help (same as hockey)--they wear them because it's an enormous business, of course, and the stakes are very high. A team can't afford to lose a star player to injury, so everyone except for kickers/punters are practically encased in bubble wrap. Well, you know what I mean :D

Good point, Dobry.

It is a fast paced sport. An international sport. And in my opinion the best of the best. I wish it were more popular here, because the leagues we do have don't get much attention.
Could you explain to me why Americans call it soccer as the only country in the world? Anywhere else its called football... Should't American football be soccer instead?
And yeah Euro footy owns U.S footy :)

Btw I luv footy :bows:

I honestly have no clue why. It won't change either. People here are too stuck with football to name it anything else.

So is American football :D Rugby is a mans sport. They don't use all that 'wimpy ass' padding. Or Aussie rules football.

Seriously, rugby/soccer sucks hard.

If American footballers are so hard why do they wear padding
