Since
Fea ruled that sports discussion is out, I assume
Mith will be booted for insulting football on the thread?
And since I cannot respond to her there, I must respond to her here.
We shouldn't be upset with her,
Boro. We should've remembered that many of those living across the pond prefer the less tactical/technical/intelligent sort of games where you just run around and bash into people. In American football there are hundreds of plays which can be run out of multiple formations against the opposition who could be running any of hundreds of various rush and zone schemes.
American football is like a mix of rugby and chess- far too cerebral for the likes of
Mith. It ought to be clear that the game is more intelligent due to the fact that the American players are smart enough to wear protective equipment- which is necessary of course seeing as they're generally bigger and faster and hit harder.
