isn't is because it's foot long or some shit?

A tiny bit of history regarding American football,
Initially, kickoffs were a much more common and important part of the game, as well as punts. There was also originally no forward passing, players could only run the ball and could lateral backwards. Without the modern rules that are designed for TV, the game was also much faster flowing and the clock only rarely stopped. There were also much fewer pads involved and most players just wore leather helmets and maybe some slightly thicker clothes than normal. Basically it was more similar to rugby. Not VERY similar to rugby, but more so than now by quite a bit.

>The "ball" is "one foot long", therefore, it is "football".

every anglo country has their own football, people only get mad about ours for some reason

if you want the real answer why we have so many of our own sports its cause we were completely isolationist when sports were getting globalized

even tho we don't care about soccer we made it out of the groups in 3 out of the last 4 world cups kek

>>
>>52897177
It's funny because all the padding has made American football more dangerous than rugby because players now assume they can hit each other with any amount of force. The correct procedure would be to remove padding instead of adding more.

the funny thing is i dont like nfl and prefer soccer

>>
>>52896972

Average weight of nose tacklers in the NFL is 100lbs+ than the average rugby player weight.

On top of that, those helmets and padding actually make things more dangerous because they fool the players into thinking they won't be harmed running full speed into another 330lb dude

american sports are all slow as shit and filled with way too many interruptions and breaks

The National team has gotten to the round of 16 3 times out of the last 4 world cups.

I'd say that's average.
