Another crucial role of the refs is to stop the games for a "heat rest." Tell that to NFL players in New Orleans or Miami, where regular-season games have reached temperatures of over 100 degrees. Two Super Bowls hit temperatures above 80 degrees Football players get FAR more rest than soccer players.
-- and football players are wearing about 100 pounds of gear, not the airy frocks of soccer players.
100 pounds? What a buffoon.

The NFL player’s gear weighs no more than 10 lbs. and that’s mostly the helmet. The uniform, pads and shoes are very light.
Coulter was obviously exaggerating to make a point. Football players wear a bunch of gear while soccer players run around in their pajamas. 8^)

It’s hyperbole for effect. It’s effective :)
