Favorite sport

[MrPresident]

The fairest way would be one called "American Football", the other "Soccer". That way no ones happy

Clearly the fairest way is to go with what the majority of world. So football should be called football, not soccer, and American football should be called that pansy-ass sport that those Americans wusses play.

I voted football as I refuse to acknowledge the word 'soccer'.

Well, that'll screw up the statistics. But this is the first time I'm heard Football called a pansy-ass sport.

I guess you haven't read the forum very often...

Like Hitro said, its happened plenty of times before, usually because someone starts comparing it to rugby...

Jesus, some of your europeans act like you dont even get hurt in football. Torn acl's? Broken ankles? Broken Legs? Some guy broke his jaw and still played last year, as well as a guy named steve mcnair who plays with broken ribs, extremely sore ankles, bruised or sore hands, etc., all at the same time and almost never misses a start. Please, elaborate what happens to a soccer athlete other than some dehydration and maybe a twisted ankle if they get tripped or what have you.

If your saying soccer is more superior to american football by using toughness, your going to lose. They dont wear the pads just for style, people can get killed if they dont wear them. You can compare it to rugby, whatever, but their not the same kind of game if you watch them both.

Voted football, and if i could vote twice, basketball.

That's the general perception outside of America. Come on, you guys wear padding. Even some in America beleive this. Here's a quote from Tazz, an ex-wrestler. Well I can't find it so I'll post it later. The most manly sports have to Aussie Rules Football, and the two Rugby codes. Even though I don't like RL, I'll admit that you have to be a real man to play it.

NOTE: I would never say this to the face of an American Football player.

Well, I cant see the game being played as it is without padding. Passes thrown to high with the reciever being hung out as he catches it, some guy like Roy Williams whacks him. He might DIE on that kind of hit.

You could say they do those hits because of padding, but I dont think changing momentum is quite that easy. Plus, even simple short passes where the guy is close to the defender and he whacks him. That play happens without padding too.

Not to mention kickoff and punt returns.


Way back in the old days, when there wasnt any padding, the game was almost entirely running and very little passing. Plus the athletes werent as big and strong, but still people died. So nowadays, it would probably be worse.

 

[Syterion]

^^^Yeah, but the best thing about the old days was the fact that you played both offense and defense. I can't really think of a sport besides baseball where someone doesn't play all sides of the ball. To me that's the real reason it would be called a pansy sport. Jim Brown was awesome because he could run and play D. I wish the NFL kept it like that. It makes things too specialized. REAL Superstars would be quickly noticed, for example there are a lot of star recievers, but the superstars would be the ones who could also pick passes off, and they would be rare. And also, Quarterbacks would have to stop being such pansies hiding behind the line and actually be physically fast and strong.
