Hmm, lets see. American Football has more padding because...........................THEY'RE SMARTER JACKASS!!!!!

I mean its a full contact sport. Might as well have some proctection. Unless you feel sports are worth dying over....

Remember something else, American football has more diversity as far as body type. You have massive 300 pound guys and then little 180 pound recievers and such. Do you wan't to be tackled by a 300 pound monster with no padding? I could go on forever.

As much as I like gridiron its flaw is this stupid armour they where. As for diversity Australian rules is greater, we need 6 ft tall ruckmans and 5ft. rovers.American footballers would get slaughtered if they played rugby or AFL because they have no helmets or anything. I still like american football we use to play it at high school, except we had no gay ass armour.

Rugby Union is easily the most entertaining spectator sport.

American Football - Should be called Handball instead. Too mechanical, too slow, too boring, too long, too many eye-bulging meatheads with veins about to pop.

Many full-contact sports get by without excessive padding. But I guess al that extra stuff looks good on TV.

Try playing tackle football on the pavement with no padding.
NOW THATS A MANS SPORT!!!

My avatar is a photo of Ned kellys armour. He is a famous australian bushranger (outlaw). He had a last stand with the ploice about 150 years ago. He and his gang made metal armour to take on the police, the armour worked but they shot Ned in the knees and he got captured. Even though he was a criminal he is still worshiped as a australian iconic symbol that has yet to be surpassed!

Hmm I dont like your comments on soccer [aka futbol in Europe]. It is a great sport, in my opinion far greater than American Football to watch and play. Rewards for faking an injury?I've got a feeling someone has been hearing and stereotyping a certain sport. More people need watch or experience soccer before blabbing about how boring is. the real deal is that it's a hundred times tougher and more exciting than American Football and loads of other sports. Like my friends, all that they could say before was soccer sucks, its boring as hell. Well I first told them to watch an American Football game, the whole game, Then we played some amateur american football. After that we watched a soccer match up together and played some soccer. Well after it all they changed their minds about soccer and said it was much tougher and better than American Football, and you dont have to stop like a pansy every 20 seconds. Well I dunno I guess I just like to defend my sport a lot.I was born in a country where soccer was king :] Yugoslavia or Serbia and Montenegro now.

I agree soccer has its merits. It is I suppose the most popular footbal in the world. I think that it is the most easiest to teach perhaps that explains soccers success internationally.

Football (Soccer as americans call it) is IMO way better to watch and play than the sports listed, with the expection of Australian Football which i have not had the pleasure to play.
If american football was better then why do only americans play it? I also agree with ManaSmoker in that it is very boring to watch with all of the stop start playing etc.
But i guess the only reason i like football is because i have been playing it since i was three, i also like to watch rugby but not too fond of playing it.
People generally like the sports they are brought up playing or watching.

sharedawealth · **WOW -** June 25th, 2003, 09:15 AM

Some one else voted for AFL as the best type of football! Could you please tell me your name so I can mark a screamer over your head!

sharedawealth · **ok -** June 25th, 2003, 09:27 AM

Although I love soccer very much and I hope the socceroos do very well in the world cup in germany, Soccer is border line football as it is the least contact.
