I'll stick with "American football." Why do people always generalize americans as being stubborn... Its like saying that all french are gay or all british have horrible dental hygine... on topic I agree that both sports being called football is quite confusing but I think that calling either sport scrambled egg just seems lame.

Zygimantas Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 See you don't even need to be athletic to play football. Just be big and fat and your good.Completely false. I guarantee that even those chubby defensive linemen have more muscle than you. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if their body fat percentage was lower than yours. Regardless, most guys are under 300 lbs., so they're hardly fat. It might interest you to know that Trent Cole, one of those supposedly unathletic defensive linemen for the Philadelphia Eagles, ran a 4.7 40 yard dash.Must only be in highschool football then. Yes, most of the DL and OL in our school are stronger than I, but they can't run for [cabbage]. 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariusman Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 You guys completely misunderstand sports and athletic ability - most of you anyways. I'm not surprised that an internet argument is producing stuff like this, but seriously. Every sport is different, to say one is better than another is ridiculous. [American/Canadian] Football and rugby and hockey are completely different games. [American/Canadian]Football requires quick-thinking and hunger for the ball. Rugby requires just general hard as nails determination. Hockey requires a whole lot more precision skill than physical skill. Yeah, there's hitting, but any hockey player would get destroyed by a football or rugby player. Yet the professionals for their sports are incredible athletes. Stop saying that one is better than another, a world-class athlete is a world-class athlete. Just because they wouldn't do well at your favourite sport doesn't mean they don't dominate their own. And how can I talk about these sports? I play all of them. And to make give an example of how you can't compare athletes across sports, me and my friend both play rugby and [Canadian] football. He's a far better football player, I'm absolute garbage, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a scholarship for uni. We're just about equal when it comes to rugby, that is to say that we're two of our team's best players. Then when it comes to hockey, I'm an average player. He doesn't even know how to skate. I can also ski, swim and run much better than him. He's a very good goalkeeper, or used to be. So wanna know who's the better athlete? I'd personally say he is, he dedicates more of his life to it. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

spooferfish Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Handegg.. Or as Americans call it football. Here is just 3 simple reasons for the name of the sport to be changed Reason 1: Americans are essentially one of the only countries who play this sport. Alas, the name is already taken by another sport; a sport referred to as soccer by the United States, but football by the rest of the world. This part makes sense I guess. It is already known as football, and always has been. If it were changed, no one would call it by the new name anyway.Reason 2: In American football, you don't even use your feet at all other then for running... Why FOOTball?Maybe the word foot is in reference to the shape of the ball..somehow? I dunno why it is called that, lazy people named it perhaps. There is a lot of running involved..lolReason 3: You aren't even using a ball! This is the definition of a ball A spherical object or entity such as thisA football is a ball. noun1.a spherical or approximately spherical body or shape; sphere: He rolled the piece of paper into a ball.2.a round or roundish body, of various sizes and materials, either hollow or solid, for use in games, as baseball, football, tennis, or golf. a FootBALL, is a ball. or this or even this As you can see, this IS NOT SPHERICAL!! It is more oval-ish, like an egg.+ You tend to hold it in your arm/hand.Perhaps we can follow trend and change the name of soccer to handball? Don't use feet much (directly) in football, don't use hands in soccer. The names of soccer and football are fine. Leave them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 LOL HANDEGG :XD: once again you make my day. I still prefer that american football should stay the same name though. You play with a football, you use your feet for lots of actions, and... well balls don't have to be round you know. Besides it's been called this way for years. Why bother changing? I agree that "soccer" should just be called soccer for less confusion.

manitstinks Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 So did the name change yet?Lol just had to bump the post for more recognition? It is what it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We love football. Why hate just because of its name? (I used too many cliches sorry.)P.S. No ball is every 100% round and sphere-like unless you're an 8 year old who is trolling @ the kickball field.

Hamtaro Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 No, but in all seriousness, soccer is my favorite sport. I don't think many Americans take it seriously because everyone (at least where I live) plays it as a kid, usually until high school. They see it as a wimpy game because even non-athletes like me could give them a run for their money (on defense, at least). I would support a name change but it would only make hardcore American football fans hate soccer more, which is the last thing we need. This is coming from a fan of hockey, soccer, AND American football. The only sports I hate are ones that happen to begin with the letter "B" :thumbup:. Player since 2004.

FunPhish Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 This is really insulting honestly. Maybe soccer should be fairy ball? Excuse us if we enjoy watching strong people play for about 8 seconds at a time rather than watching 100 pound 5 foot 6' pixies lightly jog for 3 hours. The reason America doesn't dominate soccer is because our best athletes play REAL SPORTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 See you don't even need to be athletic to play football. Just be big and fat and your good.What an ignoranttroll FOOL. You're not even worth the time to argue over the internet, although is anyone? Regardless of what country or sport you follow, both have the hi and lowlights. We could debate endlessly which one is better but the truth of the matter is that it's an opinion. EDIT: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81eeeebc/article/ochocinco-better-in-day-2-of-mls-tryout-but-game-above-him?module=HP_headlines That will show that even some of the best football athletes can't compete with soccer. Also, it shows that soccer players cannot simply walk into the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
