Football and Rugby can’t be compared. They are completely different.
Football has a jacked up 300 pound man running full speed at you, you know you’re gonna get leveled, stand, deliver the ball to the reciever, eat the hit, and get back up the next play to do it again.
Football is knowing that every play, might be your last play. Every day you know you may never step back out to play again, and to give it 100% of what you have.
Football is 16 games. Every game counts. You lay it on the line each and every time.
It is a game for warriors. Americans are warriors. Plain and simple.
Lets not look at the NFL players. Lets look at the lower levels. High School kids train, diet, workout year round for a shot to wear a uniform, or play in one game. I have seen six year olds working out for ankle biter leagues in their front yards in 100 degree heat, because they WANT to start. Young men will pay for college, then walk on and play football, just to say they were ON the team. This is the dedication and drive and American Spirit that HH was talking about. Football in its purest form. [/quote]
Are you serious? Americans are warriors? How do people become so blind to collective thought and lose any sort of individual interpretation. Sure some Americans may be warriors, we call them soliders, but this by no means is meant to say by being American your genetics seem to make you a noble warrior of upstanding character, give me a break, pathetic.
It’s a sport, it’s a game, I understand when people love certain things whether it be Star Trek, Anime, MMA, martial arts, they seem to attempt to build it to god-like importance, but let’s be real.
The original poster trying to tie in his own pseudo-brainwashed political agenda with a sport and compare it to footie as if soccer is somehow a weak sport is loserish. The funniest part is when he talks about his past coached players “messing up from time to time” well welcome to the real world they are human, they don’t play a sport to fucking be better human beings and protect America with Captain Planet against Al Qaoeda, they play becuase they enjoy physical activity, because they want to get some high school pussy, because they want to be part of a group, which explains the moronic nature of Fraternities.
