2. Agreed...
American football is for those too sissified to play rugby.

5. It is NOT dumbed down, but...
it is certainly a bastardized and extremely boring sport.

And even with all that padding, they still seem to get hurt more than in any other sport, except maybe boxing.

7. "Boring" is right.
7 seconds of action and eight minutes of standing around, re-positioning, and commercial breaks.

Give me REAL fútbol anyday.

9. It's just a four hour committee meeting, punctuated by periodic violence.
The sport could be immeasurably improve by the placement of random landmines beneath the turf. That way, something exciting might occasionally happen.
