“Some of us who love the game”. Right. I’m sure this wanker doesn’t even know what a first down is. However, the move is under way to get rid of American football for soccer - the “beautiful game.”

My son played competitive soccer through high school and college. There are just as many concussions and injuries on the soccer field with a lot less padding and protective gear. Soccer at the competitive level is a contact sport.

Nobody in Europe ever knew soccer as “the beautiful game” before that absurd ad campaign that tried to push it on “Yanks”. Everyone knew it as “the foreign game”, even some in the country where it originated. (Rugby is still rugby though.)
