For all the soccer people who are going to invade this thread, just STFU, seriously. After watching these if you don't understand why they wear helmets and pads you are a retard.

For the rest of you, here are some videos I grabbed off an article I read earlier today. Enjoy.

Can't wait to watch the Cleveland Clowns get throttled again.

You think football is tough? Try rugby, those guys don't wear any pads unlike pussy football players.

I'd like to see the 250-300 pound NFL player hop into a rugby stadium and fucking squash the shit out of one of those rinky dink rugby players.

I think anyone driving one of these, should keep their mouth shut about anything remotely man-based, k?

That 2nd vid of the Zach Follet hit has given him Chuck Norris status around here. Should be a good year in Detroit with Suh coming in too. Finally - I actually don't think the Lions will finish in last place this year (sorry Chicago).

You're an idiot. I don't think you have any idea how big, fast and strong players in the NFL are. If they didn't wear pads and helmets people would die, period. Like I said when I started this thread (if you read it)...STFU.

yeah american football is cool to watch once in a while but i think there's a reason it hasn't caught on anywhere else in the world.

The Canadian Football League, the Japan-American Football Association, and the European Football League, among others may disagree with your sentiments.

Soccer is certainly more popular among the majority of the world, but I really do think that its because most people simply don't know the intricacies of American football. It's an EXTREMELY complicated game and anyone that says differently doesn't understand it, period.
 
you call rugby football? and you call the real football soccer.
I just don't understand why you call it football?
its rugby and doesn't have anything to do with the real football..:rasta:

They're ALL football. Jesus, what's with all the cross-sport hate? They all have the same damn roots. Just appreciate each sport for its own merits and STFU.

I'm a HUGE "American" football fan because I was born and raised in the American South. I grew up watching it and playing it.

Guys from Brazil, the UK, Africa, and just about every other damn country probably feel this way about soccer (i.e. "football" to them)

Likewise for the guys that grew up watching and playing rugby (Ireland, Australia, etc.)

And as for "toughness" that's all relative. You don't see rugby players, soccer players, and American football players all arguing about who is "tougher." Why? Because put any one of them in one of the other sports and more likely than not, he'll get killed.

Put a soccer player (all ~150 lbs of him) on an American gridiron and unless he's a natural running back that can haul ass through the line and down the field, he's going to get his bell rung by a guy the size of a large household appliance.

Put one of those "American" football players on a soccer field and they won't last 10 minutes with all the running and prancing or whatever-the-fuck soccer players do back and forth all day.

Put either on a rugby field and the soccer player will likely get OWNED and the American football player wouldn't be able to keep up with the action (unless, of course its a running back who still wouldn't be used to that level of cardio in the game for sustained amounts of time).

They all have their different points of merit and arguing about it is pretty useless. One thing that cannot be argued, however, is that out of the three, American football requires the most strategic planning before and during the games. Planning an offense OR defense properly is very, very similar to planning a battlefield offensive. That's what I love most about the game: the combination and control of brute strength, athleticism, and strategy.
