well american sports are pretty much hybrids of existing sports anyway. American football was spawned from Rugby and Baseball from rounders.

Football is not aggressive enough for most American sports fans. Simple as that.Last edited by squealpiggy; 07-15-2007, 08:22 AM.

Firstly you have never played Sunday league. Secondly there are very few aggressive North American sports. Baseball has rules preventing you from aiming at the batter unlike Cricket in which aiming at the batsman is a central part of the game. Basketball is a much more timid sport. Hockey is quite rough but is on the decline in the US. The only sport which is aggressive is American Football which I enjoy but when compared to Rugby League and Rugby Union isn't actually that rough and tough at all.

but seriously, a pitcher throwning a ball at lightning speed at a batter who then aims to hit the ball with as much force as possible, put it this way, it's not snooker is it?

I find it funny how certain people refer to the sport as soft, and not agressive.
I guess depends where it's played. No one will deny that Seria A is prolly one of the softest leagues out of the most popular leagues.
The English are brutal.
When I played Ukraine on high school level you had to try plenty hard to get any card.
