'murican football would be 10 times more popular than the World Cup if it expanded globally. Soccer just wouldn't be able to hold up comparatively.

Having played football for most of my life, I can tell you that all that "body armour" doesn't do a whole lot. You only wear it so you don't break every bone in your body. And don't try and tell me that rugby is worse, you cant even tackle properly in that sport

I'll just leave this here...   ;)

Gridiron's been played just as long as association football. Most of the planet just doesn't really give a shit.

How much chance has it had to do that? It's barely even watched globally, yet alone played.

Nobody but Americans and (unfortunately) Canadians gives two shits about that boring shitfest.

I don't care for Soccer or American Football but Soccer is definitely more appealing if I had to choose. The rest of the world has Rugby and American Football just wouldn't be able to compare to it.

We didn't even have foot-ball in my high school, but I did play on the rugby team which was fun. All we had to get for ourselves was a mouth guard and rugby cleats and we were good to go, things like knee pads and jock straps were optional and I settled for just a mouth guard and cleats, the bare necessities.

Then they'd be practically the same sport.

You guys were acting like Rugby was somehow better because it's more dangerous.

I'm not saying you don't have to be tough to play Football. You obviously do.

I'm just saying Rugby is substantially more fun to play and watch because there's a hundred times fewer pauses.

Rugby is overrated, from what I've seen the hits are small and of course there's gonna be blood because you're not wearing any protection (does sound fun but dangerous) and get hit in the head its gonna bleed a lot. When i played rugby I never saw someone have their neck get snapped on the field, football I have, I was on the sidelines and that's a sound you never forget.

Now back on topic  *SHITS GOING DOWN*
I think Israel and Hamas are gonna throw down soon, the PM of Israel just gave this speech
Its long
Spoiler
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu just made the following speech in front of the Knesset:

To Ismail Haniya, and the leaders and operatives of Hamas:

We, the people of Israel, owe you a huge debt of gratitude. You have succeeded where we have failed. Because never before, in the history of the
modern State of Israel, has the Jewish people been so united, like one person with one heart. You stole three of our most precious children, and slaughtered them in cold blood. But before we could discover the horrible truth, we had 18 days of pain and anxiety while we searched for them, during
which our nation united as never before, in prayer, in hopes, in mutual support.

And now, as you continue to launch deadly missiles indiscriminately , intended to maim and murder as many civilians as possible, while you take cowardly refuge behind your own civilians - you continue to inspire us to hold strongly onto our newly discovered unity. Whatever disputes we Jews may have with each other, we now know that we have one common goal: we will defeat you.

But we are offering you now one last chance. Within 24 hours , all rocket fire - and I mean all rocket fire - will cease. Completely. Forever.

I give you formal notice that our tanks are massed at the Gaza border, with artillery and air support at the ready. We have already dropped leaflets over the northern parts of the Gaza strip, warning civilians of our impending arrival, and that they should evacuate southward, forthwith. If you fail to meet our ultimatum, we are coming in, and, with God's help, this time we will not leave. Every centimeter of land that we conquer will be annexed to Israel, so that there will never be another attack launched at our civilians from there.

Even so, we will continue to keep the door open to allow you to surrender gracefully. The moment you announce that you are laying down arms, we will halt our advance, and there we will draw our new borders. If you continue to attack our citizens, we will continue to roll southwards, driving you out of territory that you will never again contaminate with your evil presence.

It pains me deeply that your civilians will be made homeless. But we did not choose this war; you did. And if our choice is between allowing our citizens to be targeted mercilessly by your genocidal savagery, versus turning your civilians into refugees, I regret that we must choose the latter. If only you loved your people as much as you hate ours, this war would never have happened.

To the rest of the world: Israel has tired of your ceaseless chidings that we should "show restraint". When you have your entire population under constant missile fire from an implacable enemy whose stated goal is the murder every man, woman and child in your land, then you may come and talk to us about "restraint". Until then, we respectfully suggest that you keep your double standards to yourselves. This time, Hamas has gone too far, and we will do whatever we have to in order to protect our population.

Hamas, once again, I thank you for bringing our people together with such clarity of mind and unity of purpose. The people of Israel do not fear the long road ahead.

Am Yisrael Chai.

I heard the Hamas killed their own electricity by accident with their own rockets.
