Diplomatic Immunity: Almost Ready Maybe?

They're both gladiatorial pitfights, but its the difference between throwing them to the lions and making them fight each other to the death.

It's not as bad as you think. Honestly, You're more likely to be injured running (Any distance over a mile), playing Soccor, or playing Hockey than playing football. (Oddly enough, they're all higher than paintball, which is why I'm familiar with it)

Rugby's origional name was Murderball, bit it was changed for more comercial appeal.

I really wish people would use an accurate name for american 'football', it's a pretty silly name for a sport where kicking the ball is infrequent at best...they kick the ball more frequently in rugby.

As for injury, other sports or activities may have more injuries, but the injuries in gridiron are usually much worse due to the 'protective gear' they wear giving players the impression that they are actually protected thus provoking harder hits.

Soccer and Hockey are accurate names for a sport? How about Lacross?

In oder times, more kicking was involved, and very little passing, so the players were moving the ball with their feet more. Hense the name (I think)

Well, originally, there was no passing. It was not only a violent and churlish sport (slugging, gang tackling, etc was common), but also a rather boring one. Then President Theodore Roosevelt, who like the sport for some reason, added in the forward pass, doubled the yardage needed for a first down, and banned gang formations and tackling.

(I make sure to know at least some about things I hate, so that I'm not just spouting off vitriol--other things I hate include James Joyce, John Cage, and Jackson Pollock )

Well soccer is actually called football in europe, it's often referred to as european football in a lot of other places as well as soccer.

Yes american football was originally an amalgamation of soccer (football) and rubgy.
