Sextus Licinius Caldari Wreckless Abandon Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.08.20 11:52:00 - [25] Originally by: CCP Garthagk Edited by: CCP Garthagk on 20/08/2007 11:36:50 Edited by: CCP Garthagk on 20/08/2007 11:35:36 I'd like to see you play American football without feet! Yes, it's a silly name and I have no idea why we call it that. But it is what it is, so I have no choice but to live with the pain of knowing that my people have made a suboptimal choice of name. Soccer is boring, Baseball is great (7th inning stretch with a round of pitchers and your buds!), and Football is not so bad either. Hockey is okay (go Fighting Sioux!). Roller derby's good and exciting! Never did understand NASCAR. Your soccer is the original football (you twisted the name) Your football is the original rugby (you added helmets & shoulders not to hurt urselves) Your baseball is the original oina (a medieval romanian game) "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man"

Ever seen how many players get hurt even with the pads? The pads are there to prevent players from getting killed. Rugby's a bunch of slow fat balding white men.

It's funny when people from the US describe football as being rough and manly when the big girls in that sport are all padded up and it looks a bit like a mixture of morris dancing and ball games we played at school to anyone who has actually watched a Rugby game.

Each year on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, Ashbourne becomes a war zone! The majority of the ablebodied men, women and children take to the streets to play what is probally the largets football game in the world! - The two teams number in the hundreds, and the palying field is 3 miles long, 2 miles wide and has the town of Ashbourne in the middle!

ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.08.20 12:28:00 - [44] The irony is that in "American football/Armoured rugby", they have worse injuries than UK rugby players. Because when something really nasty DOES happen, the armour get twisted into all sorts of horrible positions, whereas a rugby player will fall into more or less a natural position. He's then able to shrug it off with a quick pint or five down the pub. Just take the padding off, you big American pansies! Play rugby like real men. More things to riddicule American sports: Basketball is just a slight variation of netball - a girls game. Baseball is just rounders - another girls game. Bear this in mind, you American jocks next time you think you're so big and manly for being good at sports Oh and back on topic: Go BOB!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------

Dont feel bad tho, it seems to be the typical football/soccer fans first answer about the term soccer. The term "soccer" came into use in England during the 1880's by university men from Oxford and Cambridge. The use of "association football" as distinct from "rugby football" was already in practice and "soccer" became a colloquialism formed by extending the second syllable of "association". Today it remains a primarily journalistic or conversational term in Britain and throughout the Commonwealth, but in the United States, Canada and Australia its use is the rule.

As the Galavet says its a popular misconception that the US came up with the word "soccer" when it is actually from "association football" and toffs love of shortening names, rugger for rugby football is another example. Tbh i'd rather blame the yanks for it, the thought of some public school chinless wonder being responsible is just to awful.

How do you get broken bones from having inches of padding, helmets and everything going? Try Rugby, then you'll see a REAL brutal sport. And football isn't a European thing, it's a worldwide thing. It's the most popular sport in the world by far, and only North America calls it "soccer" and hates it. PS. It's not boring.

Now canadian sports are all about the violence, in lacrosse and hockey you arm the competitor's and encourage them to stab, slash and beat each other down. Just add catapults and archers and you'd have medieval warfare. But go ahead and play those other 'sports' if your not tough enough. It is in Iceland after all, comeon guys Hockey ftw.

Markus Aurelian	Posted - 2007.08.21 08:00:00 - [74] gotta love the brits saying american football is less hardcore than rugby when theyve never played it. the differences lie in the fact that rugby players are mediocre at all positions, american football players are specialists. add in the size factor (someone above said it best, average linemen being the size of a volvo isnt far from the truth) and there's the reason for padding. back before padding, people would die playing it at the high school level (it happened at my school in the 40's, so ever since, my school hasnt had a football team). also, somebody mentioned americans being rubbish at established sports and thus having to invent others... 2004 summer olympic medal count by country 2006 winter olympic medal count by country pwnt. Meatwad FTW

Last time I checked most of us dont have any pads or helmets lying around waiting for a pick up game to start. Hockey ftw!!!! GO PENS!!!! Unable to unanchor batteries? Dont dispair, it's not a bug its a feature
