[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="Gamer556"]Soccer is a sloppy game and is boring to watch.H8sMikeMoore

its not sloppy at all, every aspect of "throwball" is planned. If theres one thing you cant say about american football is that its sloppy. The game is the most strategic sport there is. And the skill argument is highly debatable. Theres a lot more to american football than there is soccer, and I cant imagine you saying otherwise if you ever watched a game.

depends on your position. A quarterback has not only all the pressure before the snap, but he has to have the ability to know what he has to do with the ball, when, and to trust his offensive linemen to not let eleven guys swarm him to the ground.

Defensive positions require that you make split second decisions based on where the play is moving b/c they pretty much guess.

Not to mention the fact that someone on the field has to sprint the ball at some point, that may be after thay catch it from 60 yards away.

Don't assume football is mindless hitting. It's more like intense chess. You need to move you "pieces" and plan three steps ahead, all the while trying not to be stomped into the dirt.

not to mention if the defense thinks the offense is going to run and theyre going to pass they have to either call an audible or when the ball is snapped they have to adjust everything as they go, which can be very hectic. I wsa never a defensive player myself but that must be stressful

I'm a defensive end and i have to listen for E.A.T. calls smetimes split seconds before the snap (End Across Tackle)

so soccer is better than real football, b/c of it's fans? swing and a miss. I don't even know how a soccer game is played. I never understood the fascination with it. Now football may seem mindless on the outside. But there are so many plays and routes and steps you need to know. In soccer, you really don't think about getting dove on by a 300 pound lineman. Real football is so much more demanding

Topic: Football (soccer) > Thwoball? (American Football)

excuse me for misunderstanding. A misleading title and i thought the original post was the rationalization for the topic title.

This is based puerly on match atmosphere.

instead of a condescending thanks, explain how soccer is more demanding and sway me.

You are speaking in soccer jargon. but by different leagues do you mean high school, Division 1, College, Pro. And no, canada plays football a bit. All i'm saying is football is more phisically demanding and takes players with skill. Soccer takes a great amount of skill i have no doubt, but it seems more "go for it" than having to memorize specific plays.

It's morally and ethically wrong to hit a woman.

/thread.

proud722

please explain why its just for women, why isen't it morally and ethically wrong to hit anybody, save for self defence.

face it people, women started wanting equal rights and its turned into getting a free ride. they wanted equal rights, why do they have more?

And here you discover the roots of my disgust for modern feminism, what they're asking for is now rarely equality.

Don't opinion bash, i loved minutes to midnight.

if your really "defending yourself" and you believe your life may be in danger you can kill a man or a woman.

can you hit a man for no reason? No, it's assault. Can you hit a woman for no reason? No, it's assault.

you won't be arrested for really defending yourself against anyone, it's discrimination to assume women have some form of immunity
