I want some of what you're smoking if you don't think it takes more guts to play gridiron than basically any other sport. Getting tackled in it is like getting hit by a truck.

People get killed by being hit by trucks.

Almost no-one gets killed in American Football any more because they changed the rules and improved the padding and so on to make it safer.

It's not just that they are annoying, but they blot out everything else. You can't hear the crowd, so you can't take part in the atmosphere - you can't hear the chants or the bands.

Okay, now Nascar is really fething boring. Hmmm....let's watch cars drive around in an oval for 500 fething LAPS.

I honestly don't pay attention to them, everyone exaggerates how loud and annoying they are.

Says you. This is the first world cup since 1990 (I was 2 at the time ) I have not watched, simply because of those bloody horns.

This is my point. Gridiron players wear armor because if they didn't, they'd be sent to the hospital or the morgue every single game.

Which is manly as hell, for a given value of manly.

Rugby players don't wear armor, or at least far less of it, and have a very similar base of technique.

All those closed arm shoulder tackles you see in the NFL? That's bad technique, unless you're clipping a mid-air wide receiver.

Sports are pointless. 40k is pointless. Fixing up old cars is aswell. All hobbies are. They are for fun and nothing else.

I would be sent to the hospital every time I jumped out of a plane without a parachute. It doesn't make jumping out of a plane with a parachute manly as hell.
