It's a good thing to have a ninja in the team!

This is already a friggen cell phone commercial.

You have to laugh at how these 'men' have to wear all of that sissy padding so they don't get hurt.

#3 So says someone who has never played tackle football without protective gear, or stood near a typical NFL player sporting arms as thick as a normal person's thighs. These guys break bones, tear muscles, rip tendons, and sometimes get paralyzed *with* this gear on. It doesn't take the sharpest tool in the shed to realize that playing without it would be suicidal.

ok, totally not related to the vid:

What happened to these other sites where all these new trolls come from?
I have been here for a while and read all kinds of comments but #3 needs medication....
oh and that is just my humble opinion.

#4 & #5 Seems like #3; VerityBlack is from Australia, where they play a game called rugby and those men don't wear "sissy paddings". So VerityBlacks opinion is valid

#3 is clearly a Rugby fan. To be honest, I've seen too many football players knocked backwards because they obviously don't know how to take a hit. deep breath and lower the center of gravity while fending before the tackle is all there is.

Thanks Jabafara. You beat me to it. Yeah rugby is the game for 'real' men. Our players take all the hits and keep coming back for more. Those sissy American players would just piss themselves at the prospect of playing in a game of rugby without all their sissy padding.

I'm reluctant to label a sport "sissy" unless I've played it first. I used to think cricket was a wimp's game until someone threw me a cricket ball. You can break a finger on one of those things if you're not careful!

I'm not a fan of American Football. (Or most American sports for that matter - they're much too stop-start for my liking, there's no flow to the game like in football* or rugby). But I'm pretty sure that all that padding is there for a good reason.

*football = soccer for US readers

well well, since i can't edit my comment, I'll just add here what you folks probably missed.

i was not referring to this comment of #3 but the last few he/she made on this site all of them are negative.

i don't mind any1s opinion or habits or choices or or or... so sorry if i offended someone!

"but the last few he/she made on this site all of them are negative."

Not so:

You didn't offend me bachneri. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and if you don't like me, that's fine by me. I was captain of our school's debating team for three years in a row; I don't think there's room for crying about hurt feelings in the real world, and I despise people who go out of their way to be offended by just about everything.

Remember, offense is taken not given.

Watch out! we've got a bad ass over here

#3 Funny how you talk about "sissy" sports when Europe is all about Football (Soccer).
Talk about a bunch of sissies.
Don't get me wrong, I love watching/playing Football (Soccer), but watching them whine and cry on the ground like a little girl when they get barely touched by the player next to them?

A bit ironic.

In any case, It's always the big talkers that are the biggest sissies. I'm sure you would get downright demolished in either Rugby or US Football.

I'm man enough to admit I would be in a world of hurt if I played w/ those guys.

Besides, the US has a Rugby team, just be careful that as a nation we don't start to enjoy it like you folks. We just might dominate that sport, as we dominate almost every other (China can keep Ping-Pong ).

Don't believe me? Look at what US is doing in Football (Soccer) as it's become more popular here.

Now I don't claim we are as good as many of the unbelievable EU teams out there, but be careful as the sport becomes more popular here...

First Win against Mexico in 75 years ?

Congratulations Zebulun. Well done USA!

You won two games.
LOL.

PS. The footballers who tactically make dives and roll around in tears in mock agony with one careful eye on the ref? You're right. It's embarrassing. When I see that, I feel like running onto the pitch and giving them a bitch slap!

#4 American football players get fewer injuries than rugby players do. But the injuries they get are more serious. Football produces more concussions, and spinal injuries than rugby. The padding only makes it look safer to the fans. The padding decreases the pain of hitting hard so players hit harder. But no amount of padding can safeguard the spine or the head from the forces put on the athletes. It has been discussed in sports medicine journals that football would in actuality be safer (fewer permanent disabling injuries) without the padding and helmets.

Rugby is a contact sport....the NFL is a collision sport where full-speed head-on tackles and blocks are made by many players on the field,not just the arm or leg tackle of the ball-carrier allowed by Rugby rules. If a 240 lb NFL linebacker made a hit on one of those Rugby players, that player would never play again,at least not until after a long recovery in the hospital.
Rugby rules:

A player must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent above the
line of the shoulders. A tackle around the opponents neck or head
is dangerous play.

A ‘stiff-arm tackle’ is dangerous play. A player makes a stiff-arm
tackle when using a stiff-arm to strike an opponent.

Note: unlike USA Football the only player that can be tackled legally is the player actually holding the ball. There is no blocking in rugby either.

The "head-high" tackle is probably the most strictly enforced foul play rule. You will see ref's letting the odd punch or late tackle go but the "head-high" is always going to get a penalty, even if the running player ducks into the tackle.

There are Rugby teams in the US,and as far as soccer goes,you might have noticed the US women dominate the Olympics. It is more of a women's type of game.

I like to see people saying that football(or "soccer" as USA ppl call it ) is more for girls, you are so wrong. You only say that because your girls play better than your mans team...
"Soccer" is simply the most popular game on earth, period. Here in Europe, clubs hire kids since 4-5 years old.
I'll ask you to do a quick search for "top world sports".
One thing is for sure, it's hard to control the ball with feet... but when you do it, you will not want anything else. Playmaking, dribbling, scoring, marking, heading, sprinting, passing, tackling, goalkeeping...etc
I believe that I am talking to a wall hahaha ...just don't care... Just tried to open some force closed eyes and rock heads.
I've tried to watch american football(NFL)... it was just boring. Basketball(NBA) is way more interesting.

#17 The US Olympic women's team plays better than even your men's soccer teams.
As for the word "soccer",it is a term that was coined by the English as a slang name for "association football". Americans did not name it that,but we like that name.

From wiki:
The rules of association football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863 and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other forms of football played at the time, specifically rugby football. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association".

Within the English-speaking world, association football is now usually called football (colloquially footy or footer and occasionally soccer as used in older generations) in the United Kingdom, and mainly soccer in Canada and the United States. Other countries, such as Australia and New Zealand may use either or both terms, and may also have local names for the sport.
