A person born in America who may have immigrant parents but acts and identifies as a typical American and is no different than an American whose ancestry goes back 200 years.
John's parents were born in Hong Kong and they may speak Chinese and eat traditional Chinese at home, but among his friends he is your typical Hot Dog and Hamburger American.
Fucking boring. Its called football yet they dont use their feet. If you are struggling to sleep just put a game of american football on and youll be sleeping by the end of the first quater.
American football is fucking shit
A sport
From America
Well, more like copied off rugby
Just with armor and some other minor differences
Well, the “football” part isn’t really true
You don’t use your feet
And what the fuck is that thing
Not round, not anything, not a ball by my definition
Anyways, it’s a sport
And some people think that it is more popular than non-American football
Aka football, soccer if you are American
But you are wrong, 140 million watch the Super Bowl
1.7 billion watch the World Cup
At least this year
Both sports are good
Just football (soccer) is more popular
So y’all just stop fighting over which is better.
I like American football
Idk what to put
American Football is personally by far my favorite sport. It incorporates speed, stamina, quick thinking, strength, and a strong memory. Some of the biggest misconceptions by other countries about American Football is that it is played by fat American men. They need to look up pictures of NFL players. The only ones that even appear to be fat is linemen, and they are some of the strongest people in the world. For example of NFL players bodies, Seahawks WR DK Metcalf is 6 foot 4, (1.95 meters tall) 229 pounds (103.873 kilos) and has been clocked running the entire field at 21 miles per hour, and can bench press 450 pounds. Meanwhile, on defense, no 1 pick Travon Walker is 6’ 5, 272 pounds (123.377 kilos), has a 35.5 (0.9017 meter) vertical, and runs a 4.51 40 time. Just imagine a 272 pound beast running at you at nearly 20 miles per hour.
Also this rugby is tougher because no pads thing is ridiculous. While I am much less well educated by this, I have taken the time to read other posts and learn and hear rugby is much more fluid, which would result in less hard hits. Someone also brought up the point that Teddy Roosevelt, US president and professional cool/tough guy tried to BAN the sport because too many people were dying. Which, is why we have pads. Do YOU want to get hit by a 300 pound man running at you at 18 mph? Also, football was once very similar to rugby and was called football to separate it from rugby and because you use your feet a lot.
Now as far as Americans (I am one) insulting soccer, I mean, it’s a totally different sport. The only similarities are that in both sports, you must be strong (in different places) have quick thinking, understand formations, and be speedy. I have played soccer, and the sport has a lot of its own challenges. It simply just is based more off team play than American football. In both sports, your team while suffer based on weak spots, but sometimes that can be made up for more in football than soccer. Also, I would like to point out that us Americans play both soccer and football, and the ones that do understand the differences in between the games. However, for us Football is much more important. Meanwhile, British don’t even play football, so y’all can shut up. Soccer is a good game; but you know nothing about football so just go back to criticizing enemy clubs, not a sport you clearly don’t understand.
I can’t wait for American football to start up again in a couple of weeks
literally the definition of rugby for wimps
Guy 1: do you wanna play American football
Guy 2: naaa
Guy 1: why?
Guy 2: only for wimps
A sport that Americans play because they don't know how to differentiate the foot from hands.
Josh: "American Football is great because you can use your hands."
Josh is an idiot.
Don't be like Josh.
A game that has nothing to do with football.
American football is stupid just call it soccer, and call football football, football. If we actually could be bothered to do this, WW3 might never happen.
