Hockey. "Ice Hockey" for all the people who didn't experience 9 months of winter a year in their youth. Floor Hockey, Road Hockey or Roller Hockey are all played in the summer. Field Hockey is strictly a women's sport.
I played Football and Rugby in High School centuries ago, and I have to say Rugby brings the awesome compared to Football.
But Hockey is still the best.

Sorry mate but I have to say that’s not true, both games require all of these attributes. What I would say is that the different rules and levels of protection allow Football players to apply their physicality in a much more direct fashion ergo higher (not much but enough) forces into contact.
Oh, both require them. Its simply been my experience that they require them to different degrees. This is particularly true when talking about the bigger guys. Many NFL linemen will struggle to run under a 10 minute mile, while I've never heard of Cup level Prop being able to up strength numbers consistent with NFL linemen (though this has as much to do with an either-or trade off as it does with the requirements of the game).

I had always assumed that the way that Football allows tackles and blocks (spear tackles, no arms)
Realistically you're not supposed to tackle like that. It happens most often when a receiver is catching a pass (and therefore unable to defend himself), or after a player has been held up. The exception is Cornerbacks, as they are usually instructed to dive through the ball carrier's legs in order to bring him down.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

WHOEVER DOES NOT HAVE THE BALL IS NOT SKRAG.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
