Patriotism and nationalism are the political equivalent of obedience to abusive parents.

Please tell me the Great One equals Wayne Gretzky...and not Tom Brady.
Originally posted by SmasandianAmerican football is rugby with forward passes. I think the tactic is to throw the ball to who you think is their weakest defender and have the fast buff black guy run as fast as he can to catch the ball and then as far as he can before getting clobbered.
Hockey is basically just soccer on ice.My favourite thing about hockey is seeing Europeans watch hockey highlights on Youtube. They always say "that's legal??".
Rinse and repeat.

American football in its way is the nuttiest of all. Because the protective armour actually leads to more damage.

American football is more different to rugby than hockey is to soccer.
Each position group in football has specific strategies set up for them. It's actually quite complicated now. Back in the day, yeah, giving the ball the best runner and getting the biggest peeps might work.
For instance....an offense....the WR's have specific routes that are designed to open a specific coverages open. The QB has to determine which player is going to get the ball at the start...but will need to go through all receivers based on whats happening...then the offensive lineman have specific coverages they need to do...but need to be flexible on what the defense lineman and LBs are doing
its a ****ing complicated sport.

I used to feel that way about American football too. But then I watched it and realised it is a valid sport. The adverts are what really ruin it.
I think the adverts are placed there to hide the injuries. ermm
