AmericanInfidel (OP) User ID: 1543596 United States 09/16/2011 09:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it's called football, stop with your moran soccer term already! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1552577 in your "football" you don't even really use your foot. Ok, its called moron, not moran. And Soccer is what we call it here. Soccer comes from Association Football and goes back to the 1800's. Soccer came from association, and is used by some older guys in other countries. I agree that American Football should be called something like, maybe hand egg, but thats not how it is. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish. Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage. KCCO |
kicktothehead User ID: 1065309 United States 09/16/2011 09:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great thread for someone like me.. as well I grew up playing both sports and still follow both sports with a passion. One of the things I love about European "football" is the setup of the leagues and how top teams from the league qualify for tournaments. The Champions League is one of the best sporting spectacles in the world. I can never get enough of it. Also, I love following each league to see who gets relegated, who gets promoted, etc. For those who do not know - in European "football" they don't need to put up with the likes of teams who don't invest in their squad. More than likely those teams will be relegated to the lower league and the top team(s) from the lower league will get promoted and get their shot at the league. I personally find it fascinating. The top teams in each top division around Europe also qualify for major tournaments where there is a boatload of cash prize money awarded. Last year Manchester United took in over 50 million dollars JUST from the Champions League tournament. Even the lowest team in the tournament won over 7 million dollars. It just makes the sport that much more attractive to follow for me. Anywho... just my 2 cents. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1367032 Poland 09/16/2011 10:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Football is a worldwide sport, American football is only big in America. So good English is to call it American football on the internet. Football can be called Soccer but American Football should be called American Football never just Football. Or you's should come up for a second short name for it. Australian rules football = Aussie Rules Also I think American Football is OK but Football is better. Fast pace, more simple, less breaks and playing the game each person is a lot more involved. I don't understand how Americans can watch so many adverts. |

If people get so uptight about what sport is better then I suggest don't watch either. |

AmericanInfidel (OP) User ID: 1543596 United States 09/16/2011 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | lol handbal. bit off subject but have you noticed all us sports stars are black and all the racists support teams with blacks in???? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1552437 Not all US stars are black. Its all related to slavery if you want to get down to it. The biggest, strongest males were forced to breed w the biggest strongest females to make the biggest strongest next generation. Thats why there are freakishly huge athletes. Its a touchy subject, but it is the truth. And to say all racists support teams with blacks isnt true. A true racist would only support bowling or golf. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish. Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage. KCCO |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1552721 United States 09/16/2011 11:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cute, but wrong. A quarterback has to read the defensive line and also the wide receivers. They also need to know how and where to run there routes. Same with playing defense. Sorry but there is a lot of thinking during a football game. His assumption on amercian football is so wrong. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1505243 United States 09/16/2011 11:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is just how americans are. Take the sport that has been played for 2000years around the world.A number one sport in MANY nations.The Nations cups is one of the most interesting competitions with the longest history to them, making real rivarly possible. Then we have maddon, which is closer to rugby but whatever, it is ideal for television and marketing. A true american sport, made up just a hundred years ago, they can call their own. No one in the world plays it other then them. No one cares. It's just typical american self-centered bullshit to call it Football. |

Sorry but there is a lot of thinking during a football game. His assumption on amercian football is so wrong. It may be wrong, but its still somewhat close to right. As far as WRs running routes, thats not very hard. If you think running in a predetermined path is something hard, well, youre wrong. D line men have 1 purpose, get to the quarter back and plug the holes. Now, the QB position, IMO, is one of the toughest positions in all of sports. I think the point of the video was that everything in football is predetermined. Teams to walk throughs and know what plays they will run in what order, who rns where, who blocks and so on. Soccer is more of an open, free form sport where players can play with little influence from coaches. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish.
