Yeah and that's why NFL players wears protective gears and they are much tougher than a normal guy.

Watching soccer is much more fun than any other sport. It needs technic, speed, conidition (it's one of the most deadly sports, it's hard to believe but true, personally i remember deaths of 2 national players from Cameroon and Hungary in last 3-4 years), power, shoot and passing skills, creativity and everything.

Ahem, in rugby you have to possess the mental faculties to make strategy decisions yourself without being told what to do by your coach.

And Ngata a "star" at what level? For what nation? How many caps?

Ever heard of/watched Peyton Manning? He calls every play himself, and audibles (switches the play) at least three-four times at the line.

Ngata played for Oregon, at the collegiate level. Obviously, he found it more profitable to play professionally in football, not rugger.

I like football because of the specialization... You need very different players to be successful.

Statistically soccer collisions are harder than NFL or rugby or motoracing.

haaaaahahaaa oh man are you funny Man you are truely funny lol:
Ok, let me wipe the laughing tears from my eyes. You know not of what you speak.

Are you saying that a deep safty hits someone less hard than a soccer player does accidentally?

Same in soccer, even you need different types of players for different formations. Nobody wants a weak defender or slow striker.

[weepingforloman]

Right... but weights in our football vary from 360 pounds to 175.

I don't understand American people's biggest, best, top, hardest obsessions. Really? So what if it's a sport played by mutated beasts?

Step out on the field. It's fun.

[weepingforloman]

I don't like huge people, i like Pigmes. Huge people makes me feel small.

Yeah I know manning (I do watch NFL) He is very much the exception as opposed to the rule however - and if I remember correctly from the commentators comments during games he is sent through 5 plays he is allowed to alternate between, he does not have free reign to make a decision completely by himself.

Now addressing Ngata, sorry but collegiate level US rugby is not of a standard high enough to call him a star - even pro US rugby (if such a thing even exists) is not a high standard. Of course it is more profitable for him to play NFL to rugby - the money is insane in all major North American sports - I do doubt though whether he was ever really of the required ability level to play top level rugby, so it is not really his choice.

American football players aren't as good as soccer players. Usually they're guys who failed high school and didn't go to college.

[weepingforloman]

Umm... I have an A average, and I play. Most NFL players come from college (almost all of them, actually) so they have to at least pass. Of course, due to grade rigging, they might be passing with a failing grade...

[Mortis Anarchy]

I don't think its a good idea to classify all American Football players as dumb jocks. At my highschool, most of the cheerleaders as well as sports players are very very intelligent....without grade rigging. Smart people as well as not so smart people come in different shapes and sizes...

[Bakiryu]

all the jocks i know are tall, blond, and very,very, dumb. the cheerleaders are....well, let's say very likely to end up either pregnant or in rehab.

ok, let's throw stereotypes away, almost all of the girls in the cheerleader group aren't completely like that at my school, i should know, wrestlers train right next door to the cheerleaders, also, they get drug tested everyother week (or something like that), and how the hell are you supposed to have the popularity of being a cheerleader when your carrying around a baby that makes you look fat? as told me by a cheerleader when i made a remark along the same lines as bakiryu.

and anyone who says that wrestling is nothing but a bunch of guys wearing tights rolling around with each other, i bet you can't even make the first week, proven fact, wrestlers are straighter than all of the other sports out there combined. it's also a thing of strategy, how to shift your weight while shifting his so you can mak ehim hit the mat hard without getting called for slamming, do this while the other guy wants to do the exact same thing, pretty damn hard.
it may no tbe book samrt, but knowledge of other things besides books is still knowledge adn should be regarded the same, both are very dangerous to have and to fight against
