Why I dont like American Football...?

Question

I DON'T! Here's why:
1) The game is touted as being so manly yet all the players are decked out from head to toe in pads...AND a helmet!!! Funny how the rugby players manage to get through a game without any of the above mentioned items.

2) The players all wear tights. Is this the ballet?

3) 80 people in a team.

4) Do you really have to train and be fit to be able to play for five minutes every half an hour?

5) The superbowl champions are crowned world champions. Doesnt this strike anybody else as strange? Dont you actually have to play AND BEAT the rest of the world to achieve this?

6) The game takes 3 hours to finish. Snooze.

7) Did I mention the pads, the helmet, and the tights?????

Answer 1

No one cares! It's a lot better then watching soccer. Come on lets run back and forth and not score. Talk about a yawner. Yeah they play 5 minutes every half hour right! What have you been watching? My suggestion lay off the crackpipe!

Answer 2

This doesn't look like a question, this looks like someone bitching because no one cares about his favorite sport so he'll bash the one people do care about it. But to counter your points...

1) The pads are because the speed and ferocity of the game are on a whole different level than rugby.... a lot of rugby is men in a big circle holding each other... I like the sport, but football you have a lot more collisions at full speed hard enough that even the pads aren't enough sometimes.. (see K. Everitt of the Bills three weeks ago).

2) They wear tights to keep pads in place and for more fluid movement.

3) There is actually 53 per team, of which 45 are active for each game, and almost half of those (24) START every game, up to 40 being used every game.

4) The game is full speed when it is being played, and if you think you don'n need to be fit you obviously haven't tried it. I played for 10 years, if you aren;t in peak physical conditioning you will end up on your *** fast.

5) The Super Bowl Champions are crowned World Champions because simply this sport isn't played anywhere is in the world on a level even close, so there are no challengers. I don;t agree with the World Series, NBA Finals, and Stanley Cup champions being crowned World Champs, but in football it is true.

6) Snooze all you want, theres a reason it is the most popular sport in America... I personally think three hours isn't enough... and what sports don't take a long amount of time to finish.

7) once again, you are just mad because nobody likes your sport in this country... let me guess... soccer.

Answer 3

1. Football players need pads because it's more physical than ANY other sport. It's not like soccer where someone gets kicked in the shin, falls down like they've been shot, and then rolls around screaming in agony for 10 minutes.
2. Football players wear football pants to hold their pads in. Soccer players wear shin pads in their socks because they have nothing else that needs protecting. They still cry like girls though when they get kicked in the shins.
3. There are 53 players that are allowed to dress for a game, and 25 different positions. That's pretty much one starter and a sub.
4. Soccer players run for 10 seconds at a time. They pass the ball and then walk, while they watch someone else run for 15 seconds.
5. The Superbowl Champions are world champions because we send our division 3 college all-stars to the World American Football Tournament to play other countries, and we still beat them.

Answer 4

Here are my answers you little skinny rugby players:

2.We wear pad because we are playing with 200+ pounds players. Rugby players are around 170lb.

Lineman in NFL are around 250+ and more. They can squish your puny Rugby players.

3.There are 80 people on the team and around 22 players or more players get to play. We need more players because we need a backup incase our players get injured.

4.Yes you have to train or you will get your butt laid out.

5.No. This is similar to basketball too. Basketball have World Champs when they win the NBA finals.

6.It's 3 hours of hard tackles. Running and ruthless fun.

7.Like I said on number 2.

Answer 5

I don't recall any of the rugby champs, beating an NFL team.
They are called world champions of AMERICAN football.
if there are any more AMERICAN football teams out there in the world, let them be granted an NFL expansion franchise.
Rugby players wear shorts. A little leg for the guys? they have no need for pads. they have slow, low impact "collisions".
they don't need many people on the team because, they don't exert enough energy to get tired and, not enough force, to be injured. on the upside, they don't require very large venues because, not many people will pay to watch them.

Answer 6

Rugby players don't die playing their sport. Football had to add pads and the forward pass or they were going to be banned by Teddy Roosevelt.

Answer 7

How true but didn't a rugby player once during a game or match, whatever you blokes call it. Taken another player's testicle and take a nibble?..Wait I think it was more of a bite

Answer 8

Are you kidding me! American Football is way better than a stupid game like rugby! And a football game is 3 hours to 4 right rugby a batter could bat that long!!!!! FOOTBALL ROCKS!!!! AND IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY DIDNT WEAR PADS THEY WOULD GET HURT EVERY PLAY!!!!!! AND RUGBY PLAYERS, WOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HIT A BALL! IN FOOTBALL YOU HAVE TO CATCH, THROW, KICK, HIT , BLOCK ,AND LETS REVIEW RUGBY HIT AND THROW WOW THAT IS SO MUCH WATCH FOOTBALL ITS WAY BETTER THAN STUPID RUGBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

You are a complete idiot.

If you don't like football then go to your girly fairy section! Do rugby players carry wands on the field too?

Answer 10

Lemme guess. You're one of those sissy boys who thinks SOCCER is a man's sport.

BTW, rubgy players have tried to play American Football and failed, so bugger off!
