Got the idea from 'Why Soccer is Boring' Thread I'm Australian. My teacher said American Football you have to stop for everything like tackled and kicking and stuff. And that they're so weak they wear shoulder pads.

football is the most intense physical game, not for those wimpy recievers or anything, but lineman, we battle every play

Its also a sport where being "fat" can make you one of the best players in the game. Players are so specialized in what they play, it is impossible for most of them to play any other position. In most sports, players can usually play all the positions decently. I like football, but you have to admit, its a more like a game a gym teacher would make." that fat part would only be for lineman, have you tried to throw the ball where no one might not even go. its tough for a qb to throw when he's not even sure if the receiver is gonna run a certain pattern. also, when u have a helmet its hard to turn around to see if the ball is comin or not, u really need coordination

If the receiver doesnt run the correct play, it is his fault for not paying attention to the play call. And the second part is dealt with practice. They practice the timing of their play constantly, so the player, although he cant see the ball, will know it is coming.

It's boring because there are cheerleaders. And if there werent shoulder pads, they are strong enough to kill each other? Weak? football players are like 6'5 and 300 pounds

I don't mind people having opinions, but you clearly don't know anything about American football based on your comments to have a strong opinion. Bashing on people born on American definitely makes your argument ever better.
