Yeagh!
Amusing see the bitchin about normal football by those who worship masked players play “foot” ball by throwing the weird shaped thing with hands, injuring each other for life, now joining the unions???

Enjoy what you enjoy and stop putting down what millions enjoy.
One thing football can use to spruse up the game is the elimination of offside rule. Just like (team)handball has. More dynamic game, more goals. Why stopping fast players???

Not putting down anyone who wants to watch football. Still a free country. But the football I grew up with is withering on the vine.

I was commenting on the current sad state of American football and on the better conditioning of the Futbol players.

Name one of our football players who could keep up with any soccer player for two hours.

Think about it. If you eliminated the “offside rule” in Fussball then the whole team would just gather around the goal waiting for the ball to head it in. It would be just one corner kick after another.

There is a reason for the offside rule to keep the game flowing and moving.

Meanwhile American football is rapidly becoming flag or touch football with endless waits between plays, standing around, huddles, reviews, insipid commentary . . . .
