Why do American football players wear tights and so much padding?

Why do most Americans think that Football (soccer) is for pansies?

  • *Baseball: there is much less physical contact than it is in football (soccer), they wear very tights trousers (very gay), most players are overweight and take steroids (that is an INSULT to the world of sport) *American Football, overweight fattos, tights trousers (gay) they seem to be afraid to get hurt as they overprotect themselves (kind of gay - look at rugby, much tougher and a lot less protection); and again take steroids (INSULT FOR SPORTS EN GENERAL), only run for a some minutes then rest (wussys), and they call it tough?!! Run and rest run and rest run and rest *NASCAR a sport!!??, and popular in the USA?, that is just ridiculous (hold on, it is very extremely dangerous, but for drivers, not for the people at home) if you watch a car go around and around then you are a puss; and in my opinion it is not a sport (not fully – as the drivers do train physically), what next, u gonna say that golf is a sport? *Basketball, it is the most popular American sport in the world (I think – I mean a do see people play it in Europe) but, just for freaking tall people. So all you normal-height people can only dream of becoming professional players, coz you are not freaks (only freaks aloud) *Football(soccer), physical game, wear shorts (nothing gay bout that), run for the full 90 minutes – unlike American football, NOT DRUGS ALOUD, normal people can play it as long that they are fit enough// *I am not asking which sport is the most entertaining (to most in the world, is soccer), try to answer my question above, and make sense look at this video to have an understanding the passion of soccer between USA and Mexico http://youtube.com/watch?v=penbzz4agp4... ;ok it is not a good example as it is a bit too un-sportsmanship, but explains that is tough

  • Answer:

    Most Americans think that their opinions are worth more than everyone elses, and most people who say that haven't given soccer a chance. However, there is a lot of diving in soccer, which adds to the notion that soccer is a pansy sport since players are falling all over the place when they're barely touched. This needs to change. Personally, I think soccer, basketball, and ice hockey are the three most exciting sports to watch (not in any order).

Yeah, american football is cr*p. It's just rugby but with a lot of stupid helmets and padding. Bunch of fairies. If they were real men they'd take all that rubbish off and go for it like rugby players do. And baseball is just rounders. Only girls play rounders.

Its the yanks way,unless your covered with protective gear then they think its a game for nounces.Put them in a game with Vinny Jones,Tommy Smith and Norman "bite your legs"Hunter and then they would change their opinions!

'cause Americans in general obviously don't know what a real sport is, or they'd realize that soccer is the greatest sport ever invented!

Ok let's clear a few things up. First of all soccer is the number #1 sport in the world hands down. What Americans think about soccer should not bother you. Secondly, though soccer is the #1 sport in the world it's also the most violent. There have been numerous, and I repeat numerous soccer riots after matches in which hundreds of people were KILLED!!. When passion becomes rage you've gone too far. Yes, certain US sports get out of hand with the occasional brawl but they don't kill each other. Why soccer is not big in the US? A lot of Americans don't have the patience to watch. Soccer was the last sport to develop a league in the US. The shoot-outs have got to go!! SO LAME!!.If you can run for 90 minutes then you can run until someone scores a legit goal. Especially in the World Cup. All of the really good teams and leagues play outside of the US. Americans have done everything the could to boost soccer here from hosting both the World Cup and Women's Olympic finals, and the sport was hot for about five minutes due to the US women's team winning the gold medal, since then nothing.
