Question for people in the UK

Soccer players obviously have far greater stamina.

The way NFL is set up is all about being explosive isn't it?

thats the way i see it aswell so really you cannot catergorically even say they are superior athletes either cause they incorporate different types of athletic qualitys its like comparing a 100 metre runner to some of the great Kenyans and saying the 100 metre runner is a superior athlete

[Dynamite Kid]

suppleness,flexibility,agility,stamina are just as athletic qualites as power strength etc they are all the make up of a GREAT athlete

[S.G.]

NFL to football(soccer) is like MMA to boxing

Does anyone care at all when the NFL comes over there and plays a game in the Wembley Arena?

Honestly, the last time i only found out about it after it had happened. The NFL have clearly pumped some money into promoting it over here, as it got alot of hype in 2007, and it had a highlights show on the BBC. I don't think it will ever be a success in terms of TV figures, but they will do well in terms of attendance as long as they play in London due to the amount of Americans that live there.

I guess Brits watching football is the same thing when i watch soccer or rugby i just find it boring and predictable. if the NFL found a way to teach football to the youth of people in europe maybe it would succeed though.

You put an NFL player in rugby without their precious padding and they wouldn't last 5 minutes.

idk man in my opinion the guys in the nfl are the fastest and strongest athletes in the world

100m sprinters are the fastest athletes in the world.

NFL will never take off over here as its a very very boring sport.

Fixed.

It's not like you can buy a £5 ball and use some jumpers for goal posts.

Seriously though I think my second hand pads cost me upwards of £100 back in 91 so no doubt you are looking as a serious investment if you are going to play more than a park throw about, where as football can be played for £20 a year so long as you're not buying silly boots.

For alot of Inner city kids £20 isjust about all parents can afford, thats probably why Basketball is more popular than American Football with poor kids in the states.
