What makes American Football so great?

Question

I am an American and I love football!!! I just wanted to see what other fans like about the game.

Answer 1

The hits, the plays, the playmakers, the rivalries, the traditions, the school's passion for their team (the fans), and the player's passion to win for their school. That is what makes NCAA American football great (and better than the NFL).

Answer 2

Football requires strength, conditioning, strategy, and an enormous team effort.

It's the only sport in the world that requires a participant to survive up to 40 car wrecks a match.

Dr. Stephen Hurst, a Sports Med physician in California, likened the impact in American Football to being hit by a boxers glove the size of another human...but harder.

Most rugby players can't handle this type of impact.
The ruggers we have that try out end up quitting before the season gets started - for some reason, the hockey players stay.

Answer 3

American football is great because of many reasons.

We are the best country in the world, and this is the best sport in the world. In hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, etc.... there isn't really too much physical contact. In this sport, there are 11 warriors on either team ready to put their body on the line each and every snap.

Only in America could such a wonderful display of abuse be taken as a great sport. This is pretty much watching a war happenning on the field. And in this war, even if you lose, you still go out and try harder next week. You may lose a couple battles, but you can still win the war if you have the heart.

Answer 4

It's like going into battle, exceptt you (probably) won't die. See Quentin Coryatt vs. an unknown Houston U. receiver. yuck the sport is so great because it demands so many different skill sets from its players. You have the behemoths on the line then speedy backs and the (often) tiny receivers. The defense has to have a nasty disposition. In many ways it does resemble a modern battlefield. (I have experience in both) It requires constant management and the fact a game-changing play can take place anywhere and at any time on the field helps.

Answer 5

For me, the exciting thing about American Football is that it involves more strategy than any other contact sport. You can really design plays and out-think your opponent and win that way even if the opposing team has more talented athletes.

Answer 6

Fast pace, lots of action, rivalries, history, FANTASY FOOTBALL, watching the load mouth players get slammed by John Lynch...
I guess your a soccer fan...you just grew up with it and thats what you love the same goes for Americans we grew up with American football. And Canadians grew up with hockey...

Answer 7

Unlike true football (soccer), scores happen way more often.

Plays are fast paced and exciting.

Much more strategy, much more action.

European Football is boring to many Americans because nothing really happens very often.

Answer 8

football is the right because it took strong previous American ingenuity to demonstrate it right into a very diverse recreation. It became styled after rugby and is extremely completely diverse. football is infrequently that everyday the following. it really is merely catching on nevertheless and could in no way surpass football in words of folk taking area in and following it.

Answer 9

the combination of strength, speed, toughness, hitting, and mental concentration. there is so much going on in a football game with so many different types of people because of all the different positions.

Answer 10

What makes it so great?

What other sport do you know of where every play is started off by a bunch of guys bending over to stare at the guys *** in front of them?
