[Theoria]

'With two teams of 27 players placed in a sand pit and told, essentially, to do whatever is necessary to get the ball into the other team’s end zone, the sport can seem like a strange mix of American football, rugby and street fighting.'

'Fighting is accepted in the game, although it is against the rules to confront an adversary in a two-on-one situation or to blindside him.'
