Or are you referring to that babies game wherein jocks get plate-mailed up just to play a quick game of chase?![]()
I'd like to see you block a 370 lb lineman without the aid of "platemail."
At least in our version of football, the score ends up being something more exciting than a 1-1 tie.
Heavens forbid we enjoy watching a game which is nothing if not a miniature war, two armies clashing on the field, generals relaying tactics to their soldiers, struggling for every last yard...as opposed to a bunch of ninnys in shorts.
I think the European/South American obsession with soccer is simply because you haven't been exposed to anything else.
