NFL is just too tactical and cerebral.
Rugby is not varied compared to AF. I've watched more than enough of it to know what how the game flows. Look at the field when a play is happening in rugby. Look how many players are walking/slowly trotting forward with their thumbs up their asses doing absolutely nothing at all. Compare that to AF where everyone has a specific job to perform every play.

Just because a play is stopped doesn't mean the fans are bored and don't know what's going on. Once again, AF is a contact sport but it also requires more thinking than rugby.

It's funny how foreigners have the attention span and ignorance they accuse Americans of having.

There must be a misunderstanding here. That's nothing we don't already know and it's nothing we care about. We do our own thing.

Stop being so defensive. Most people like sports which are exciting and flow continuously without breaks for "tactics" or advertisements every thirty seconds. It doesn't matter how hard the athletes are. If American Football was so great, the world would embrace it as it does Football (a sport where they actually use their feet with a ball). But it doesn't. Deal with it.

I'm correcting people. Rugby is monotonous compared to football and they overstate their abilities. Foreigners appear desperate to "one up" Americans or something because they have an inferiority complex.

And f that logic. Soccer is gay af and the world embraces it.

The British used to use the word soccer. Don't get mad at us for not calling soccer football.

Brilliant riposte "soccer is gay". Seriously, what a dick. Don't delete this mods, this kind of nonsense needs to be exposed for what it is.

Are you 12? Or just a typical, boring, football meathead?

Seriously. Ask any Americans here. A lot of Americans consider it "gay." If they did this in American sports, the world would call us gay/mock us (like they do with AF). But when an American calls it out, you're all offended. You foreigners are a piece of work.

LOL. Many Australians view soccer as 'soft'. But sure, there are some uneducated morons who still use that sort of language.
