Pick the ball up, stiff arm the first man you run into, headbutt the next, keep running until someone clotheslines you. There’s a sport. :)
All I know is that American sports “morphed” into something exciting. I have always just found soccer to be so boring, I guess we are just spoiled by the sports we grew up on. Hey, they are our sports and we should be proud of them.
Oh boy, here come the usual armpitball loving futbol haters!
This article misrepresents the true history of football. The old fairy tale of a player running with a soccer ball and thereby inventing rugby is a myth. Both tackling and non tackling versions of “football” were played well back into antiquity. The rules of what we call soccer weren’t even codified until well after the American Revolution.
It’s a game played WITHOUT using your arms!
What a stupid concept.
Why not invent a game you can only play with your shoulders?
Or elbows?
I never got it...
