American football is too dangerous, and it should be abolished

Why would they want our football over there?

Large population to fill the stands and buy merchandise. Other than L.A., the rest of the US cities that could accommodate a franchise already do.

"We should be more honest about how ugly and shameful our bloodlust is (and about how natural it is, too, and how inherent to the human condition), and we should try to channel our need for catharsis in this regard into forms of entertainment that don’t leave real broken bodies their wake. Violent movies, I would argue, are far more easily defensible on moral grounds, as are gangsta rap and first-person shooter video games."

Football fans, why can't you be more honest about your bloodlust?

I can understand our NFL wanting it, but why would Britain? They already have soccer what more could anyone want?

Football,American is only for certain men and people just like all things in life. I played 16 years and it had its ups and downs but i believe the time i put in on the practice fields and football field has shaped me to who iam today. Hard nose never give up give all effort with anything you do in life. Now I coach peewee football 7-9 year olds and hope to impact there lives as my coahes and team members had. But I believe we will see major changes to the game, when is the question. We allready have saw major rule changes over the past several years.

Side note, I say Denver wins Super Bowl 50 giving Manning another ring.

No need - we already have rugby for people who want to play a game with odd shaped balls.

Similar, but tougher - No body armour in rugby, and they don't stop for a rest every couple of minutes.

On D Day the US had to send 60,000 linebackers to stop millions of soccer players from killing millions of soccer players. This is Sparta.

Poonanny's are gonna poon...

What about Boxing and MMA? Sheesh, let's all just live in padded cells with our own little safe space...

Good for you, but yes I think there will be major changes unfortunately sports has bitten the PC bug. I was talking to my brother about hockey this morning and he was complaining that there was no more checking. The NHL has so changed the game that even a die hard fan like he is bored with it...

Oh well, I guess everything changes...

I just can't picture the NFL in Britain though.

Probably has more to do with American men like me actually playing football when we were younger. I cant speak for anyone else.

End all sports that ever had an injury

Baseball, 90 mph fastball has a greatest energy transfer than a .50 cal round.

stop ladies gymnastics skiing diving, too dangerous.

darts? out of the question.

Tell that fag writer that the cocks in his ass are dangerous. Bowie died of liver cancer from hot meat injections.

Stop anal sex!

Of course, how stupid of me...

I have never heard of this guy Dave Bry, but I wonder if he writes for any American News sources? Attacking is like attacking America...!

What say u pansies get rid of all the safety gear and play it like us Aussies do. AFL in Australia is rougher then your grid iron and we say it's gay!

Rugby would probably be more dangerous since they wear none of the padding or helmets.

It's not dangerous enough. When people get packed off the field on a stretcher every game, then I'll tune in

Why would we play it the way you do? We are Americans and play American Football.

We're gay?

Fucken oath ya gay.

Ya run round in them poofy tights wearing ya poofy soft cock body armour.

Ya stop every minute for a break and spend the rest of the time crouched over staring at eachothers asses and hugging eachother.

What a fucking wussy game for fags.

Thank you, input from down under is always illuminating...

Yeah..and American football ruined the brains of many American teenagers. All my high school thought about was fucking football. We won the state every year and they would actually close the entire town down so everyone could travel to go to the fucking state game to see some fucking kids win at a fucking game instead of using school to...you know...learn. College is not as bad but they're getting there.

Yes but would you wish to see Professional Football abolished? Professional ball is adults choosing to play.

Fkin great game, complex as fuck once you understand the sheer amount of plays. Love it. Can't wait for next Sunday. This Welshman will be celebrating all things American next Sunday including a massive BBQ, even if its raining!!!

The amount of injury it does to the players,from 5 and 6 years old to Pro is astonishing. Prisons are filled with NFL players.So,yea it should be banned unless they the powers to be fork out cash at every level.Schools that profit of a student athlete and then charge them fully tax wise should pay . Just saying.As a former player

Pro Football should be more of a contact sport. Hell this is not basketball. I'd like to see some fighting, like they do in Hockey. Have some players get into a brawl and kick some ass. Maybe have half the team get involved. It would draw more of a crowd and be very entertaining....

Just look at the fake brawls in the WWE....

It could all be staged for the masses....

If you pitted the best American football team(with all their ruddy helmets and padding and god knows) against a European or Oz ruby team with no protective get up on, us Europeans would wipe your sissy yankie asses.
Least our blokes are real blokes.

:gaythread2:

How many American high school football players already have brain damage from concussions?

omg my son just started playing football last year...he loves it. I love it...it's good for his self esteem. Teaches how to work as a team...but this worries me. He plans to play all through out this up coming year, middle and High school...

:(

Agreed, my first love you call soccer has gone mad ,grown MEN crying,fainting,rolling round like they bin shot!!!
Thank fuk for local football, lads just playing for the crack , propper bone crunching challenges , fights in the cold stinking rain between fans then all getting pissed up in the local before work in the morning!
COunty till I die!!!!!

It's a continuation of the dumbing down of society. NFL means we've hit rock bottom.
