See... it is the exact opposite for me. American football is complicated because there are TONS of rules to protect players from getting physically beat down or injured and rules that keep the game fair. The action and suspense is non-stop. All the while, they are scoring or trying to keep the other team from scoring by hitting each other as hard as they can.

Hockey and Soccer on the other hand, is a constant... Kick the ball down the field/Slap the puck across the ice, Oh shit, the other team got it, oh there... they got it back, oh shit... someone got it on the other team again, repeat for an hour... is someone going to score?

To each his own, Hockey and Soccer are definitely popular, but American football is, IMO, the most action packed sport out there.

i dunno man, the action in american football is anything but non-stop. at least compared to hockey, where things only stop when something goes wrong or the period ends (basketball takes the cake here). i do appreciate the suspense and the offensive/defensive lines, though, but no sport is without suspense in some way or another.

hockey is the far more dangerous sport-- with the speeds they achieve, collisions can be fatal, or worse. not to mention the knives on their feet.

baseball is a game about zen. i used to hate it, but with this quasi-understanding, i now find it pretty interesting.

anyone like curling? lol. i do.

Good post. I tried to explain to my GF while she, her 12 year old son, and I sat at the Hawks game Saturday night. The boy is in football and loves it. Now he wants to play hockey but mom is hesitant. I said "football players get more broken bones, but hockey players have more scars on their face, missing teeth, and run the risk of a slit throat O_o. Anybody remember Clint Malarchuk?
