It's a lot like Rugby, they just use way too much gear as if they were going to war, which in this case they get their body broken sometimes.
And also, this "American Football" only Americans really like it, because the rest of the world doesn't.
This has nothing to do with football in reality, it's really rugby under the name football.
Football you kick the ball with your feet, hence the name. "Soccer" is a dumb ignorant word that Americans use it to describe the Real Football.
Player 1: Do you want to play American Football?
Player 2: Nah, that's lame.

Sport played mainly in America. Designed so that every strand of society has something they can do. Fat bloaters to bump into each other, actual athletes to run and kick, and enough support staff to win the war in Iraq.
Unfeasibly boring due to repeated and lengthy breaks in play.
Rugby's stunted bastard child...
Commentator 1: "Yeah John, that was a fantastic pass from shotgun by Brett Favre."
Commentator 2: "Fuck off, I'm watching rugby."

Contrary to popular (and ignorant) belief among non-Americans, the USA has some of the best beer in the world. America is home to many world-renowned breweries such as Dogfish Head, Stone, Boston Brewery (Sam Adams), Russian River, Sierra Nevada, Three Floyd's, Rogue, Lagunitas, Alaskan and Lost Abbey.
The United States is home to many of its own distinct types of beer, such as Imperial IPAs, Belgian IPAs, Imperial red ales, Steam ales, Strong ales, Cream ales, Blonde ales and Dry lagers.
Although I do enjoy beers from Europe such as Belgians and English browns, and Belgian ales might be the best brewed beer ever, the majority of foreign beer that gets imported to the United States just cannot hold up to the majority of the brew coming from American microbrews nowadays.
The big 3 American domestic companies do not represent true face of American beer.
Pliny the Elder is an American beer that kicks the crap out of anything from the U.K. or Germany.

Pretty much the dumbest idea ever. For one thing, it's not even football! Football is what you idiotic american football players call "soccer"." Soccer" is REAL football! In your retarded football, you don't even use your feet! Unlike in REAL football! For another thing, take an awesome game that isn't for pussies, rugby: no pads, no stopping in between every play, no 5 hour games, and no stupid goal as big as the field itself! Take that awesome sport over seas to america, have some stupid lard-a's that do nothing but sit on their asses all day and watch TV, screw around with it, take REAL football's name cause they can't think of anything else cause they're failures at life, and you get american football: a "sport" for fatties that can't run for more then 15 seconds max.
american football player:You're a pussy.
ME:I play soccer and alley rugby, and your calling me the pussy! You're the pussy for playing american football. At least I can run for 90 min.'s straight without stopping every 2-15 seconds. And, all I wear pad-wise are tiny little shin guards, not a full body suit of new-age armor.
american football player:Football's a man's sport!
ME:My point exactly! You're all homosexuals! Just look at the way you touch each other!
american football player:We're not touching each other, we're hitting each other!
ME:Can you even feel that through those hundred-pound pads you're wearing. Plus, what is the point of the butt-protecters, just to make it harder for you're gay colleagues to get to it? I sure hope you guys are wearing condoms in those so called "dog piles". It would be horrible if a whole team died of AIDS, on second thought, do what ever you want.
american football player:well...ummm...well .......
ME:Oh, I'm sorry is your mouth guard in?
american football player:you....uhhhhh....y ou.......
ME:Yeah, that's what I thought.
ME:PEACE! Baby Gap.

(1). American English:
The worst manifestation of an oblique bastard tongue.
Rather than turning heaven to hell, the process of Americanising English is like watching a horror movie sequel: the original was bad, but the next installment will be much worse.
(2). American English:
Soon to be renamed "Microsoftonese".
Seriously, has anyone ever managed to switch the Word spell-check to English-English?
NOTE: if you have
- obtained a PHD in a nerdy IT subject; or
- are addicted to Jolt Cola and computer games; or
- are 30+ years of age and still yet to experience a woman's touch
Then please, PLEASE, consider that question rhetorical.
(3). American English:
The bane of high school English teachers. Have you found anyone else that cares?
In the strictest sense, American English refers to the Americanised (or Americanized) spelling of English words. That is evident from the term itself, which consists of the noun "English" qualified by the adjectival "American". What most of these people have failed to realise is that "Americanisms", or distinctly American slang or vernacular is NOT American English. Who knows... maybe one day the corpus of Americanisms will be so great that one might refer to English American. Or has that day arrived?
Hmm...

A made for Tv "sport" which usually involves some incredibly large men (usually on as many drugs each as a whole pro cycling team) running into each other and then standing around for about 5 minutes while the commentators discuss how well it was defended and how they were lucky to advance even a yard. And then there'll be some action and then later someone will run across a line at the end of the field amid much excitement. Meanwhile any person not called "Bubba" or "Chuck" will be asleep. That why games are scheduled to be on in the middle of the night in the UK, it's part of a govornment program to cure insomnia.
All this and they have the nerve to steal OUR name for real football and then call it boring! AT LEAST OUR SPORT DOESN'T STOP FOR AD BREAKS!
"Hey Bubba, let's do somthing fulfilling and worthwhile with our lives!"
No, Chuck. Let's watch American Football insted!
