Not only a game of strength, speed. but a mental game to. to everyone who thinks American football is a joke, your mistaken. It takes a long time to be not only physically ready, but mentally ready too. This game requires quick wits and above average intelligence in order to break down and read every play within a 2-3 second window. Also, offensivly, if your a runningback, u need to know snap calls.
(example: buda= on 1, Camille=on 2 ect.) also u need to know blocking calls. prior to the snap, lineman will shout out a bundle of different calls, for shift formations and such. you need to know who is doing what or the play will string out and be unsuccessful. In order to move the ball successfully on offense, all 11 men on the offense must execute there job perfectly, or it will be a broken play, and it all rely on the athletic ability of the ball handler. besides that, you have to be able to take a sever beating. i mean I'm talkin ear-ringing eye's flashing hits, ever down, which could be like 200-450 downs both ways. so instead of everyone saying footballs for pussy's or what ever u jokes say, throw on the pads. and you can at least try, you'll be in for a rude awakening

American football
offensive plays:
-pit left, flank right, 25 option load, lion, flex call split nasty right 48 pitch. on line call. (buda, Camille ect.)
defensive mentality when breaking down the offense after the snap
- is it a pitch? a dive? an iso? a bootleg? a power? an option? a screen? a power pass? a counter? is the QB dropping back? should i read the receivers? whats the line doing, are the shifting? what are the running backs doing?

a sport that is played in 50 nations spread in six continents according to the IFAF. The IFAF or International Federation of American Football governs the sport. This sport is soon to be the savior of the olympics in the near future, this is one sport that is growing rapidly worldwide, it might be within the 20 yr range. most likely the sport if gridiron football could debut in 2024 as a summer olympic sport. I say it desreves to be an olympic game because it is a minority sport and it has true competition. There's a lot of effort, physically, and mentally!!
its not footy. american football is played in other countries like the Czech Rep, UK, Japan, Uruguay(Uruguay Football League),Canada, Netherlands, Finland.etc!

a game where guys push and shove against each other like children until someone drops the ball. see also: a chance for guys to dress up in tights and look hot, rather than gay.

classed as sport for some reason that isn't understood by anyone not american.
nobody knows the rules
it lasts for 4 hours or more but they only play for 10 minutes all together
players wear enough padding to survive a fall from a plane...
...except for on their legs. in which case very tight spandex seems to be all that is needed
most of the game is spent squatting and yelling until somebody gets frustrated and hurls the ball away

A pussied-out, dumbed down version of the sport rugby. Where you can be the biggest fatass in the world and still play. The players on the field are basically 250 lb pawns of the coach. Do the players do any real thinking besides remembering/memorizing which plays are which? Nope. Many asshugging football players like to bash soccer as a sport which requires no skill. Sadly this is not true, but it does require not being a fatass so its a good thing they don't play anyway.
Fact: fags play football

Sorry, I forgot how much skill and manliness there is in tackling each other for 5 hours. But of course not straight. Play only goes on for about 10 seconds at a time, at most, before a break so the fatasses can catch their breath.
American Football: for faggots, fatasses, and ugly fucks who generally lack even the remotest bits of athleticism.

the most sped sport in the world, where you see fat man wearing 50 pound pads running around for 5 seconds at a time, and they still manage to break a sweat.

I like American Football. It combines my two other favourite sports - cricket and rugby.
One thing does make me laugh though - the vicious "helmet to helmet" hit.
The only other place I've seen "helmet to helmet" action is in porn films, usually when one woman sucks two guy's cocks at the same time, causing them to go "helmet to helmet" in her mouth.

On field banter from a typical american football game:
"Hey TO, I'm linin' you up Helmet to Helmet"
"Be careful, I've only got a small mouth.."
