FFS just keep all the football/soccer/futbol/whatever in this thread, the forums are cluttered enough as it is already.

An admin/mod should change this to 'The American Football Thread' and remove any unnecessary posts.

Yeah, it's better to have less posts but that are actually relevant, than to have 20 posts with about 10 of them irrelevant.

Well, I see this thread more as a funny thread mocking the term "football" in the other "official football topic", than serious thread about American football.
None of the answers should be kept if we keep only the one about American football. except the jokes ...

If tom10122 really want to talk seriously about American football, he can create a topic with a proper name and state that it's a serious talk only.
Don't start a topic with a rant/mocking if you want to be a serious talk.

That is why in America and in other places we call it soccer.
LETS SEE
Africans call it soccer.
Mexicans call it soccer.
Americans call it soccer.

But the official international governing body of the sport (FIFA) call it football. And they should know, right?
Yes but does that mean people should just change what they call sports because of one organization.
i live in america but dont call it soccer
And?

How is American football "real football"? You don't even use your feet. And don't give me shit like "but you play it on foot". WHAT TEAM SPORT DO YOU NOT PLAY ON FOOT? We might as well rename all the sports while we're at it:
Football (basketball)
Football (golf)
Football (rugby)
Lowerbodyball (water polo)
Footdart (darts)
etc.

American football is just a wimpy version of rugby, pretty much the same but you wear a load of kevlar body armour and a bloody hat twice the size of your head.
If anything, american football should just be called 'Junior Rugby' and played by kids under 12.

It's called (American) Football, because the ball is ran...GET THIS....ON FOOT!

History lesson over.

And yes, it's extremely arrogant to call American Football "real" football. English Football has been traced back to the 15th century, before the United States was even a county.

I have heard arguments on both sides, and from the most common arguments I have heard, both sides need to dive into a history book on the subject.

Correction the NFL aka american football or whatever you care to call it is more of a passing league recently then running,which obviously is why the QB's are overprotected these days...@OP,for the record the jets are overated :P
