See, first if you are gonna try to be smug, learn how to spell COUGH. Couches are much less subtle than coughs.Murcator wrote:*couch*armour*couch*Who said they were wimpy??? And as several people have said, they are not fat, at least not in the traditional sense. They are large, but can be great athletes.
Of course not, what a ridiculous suggestion.I'm getting the impression that you are trying to slam football, rather than trying to fully understand what it is. I apologize if this is wrong, but this is just the impression I get.
And if you want to mini-mod, then why don' you make a thread about that?If all you want to do is bash American Football, then go start a thread called "American Football is Stupid" or something.
Secondly, instead of calling my statement ridiculous, you could have been a little bit more polite, as the internet does not always allow subtlety to shine through and the real meaning can be missed. So when someone gets the wrong impression and says so, its usually just enough to kindly explain your intended meaning.
Third, why would Nitrus make their own thread about why they hate football? They (he/she? help me out Nitrus, sorry
) said that they would be happy to continue to discuss the original idea of the topic here.And finally, do you really think that wearing pads, as most Americans refer to the "armor", makes you a wimp. If you are running at a man who is trying to tackle you, and weighs 300+ lbs of muscle, you would want to have some protection as well. Why do soccer players wear shin guards? Its not because they are wimpy. Why do swimmers wear goggles? Why do bikers wear helmets?
Simple Typo.
