So what your saying Brad is that the Aussies are pansies too, for playing Aussie Rules Football? Actually Brad, we've been playing our version of football essentially as long as you've been playing yours. What this boils down too is simple, those of us who appreciate and respect all disciplines of sport, myself included, enjoy the talents required to perform at the highest level, be it our football, your football, cricket, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, basketweaving, motor racing, whatever...can watch and enjoy.
At the end of the day, its those of lower intellect who can't past their own xenophobic, self esteem issues, that suffer and wallow in their blinkered ideas of what correct and wrong. Come to thnk of it Brad, you'd make a damn good Republican here in the States, get your Sarah Palin flag out now!

Nope - The Aussies don't feel the need to wear helmets, panty liners, and pieces of plastic to play their game. They also have the decency to call their game, Aussie Rules, thereby differenciating it from football.
I'm a sports fan, generally - buy American Football is not really a sport - its more of a strategy game - the padding takes away the injuries - which is the only interesting bit of Rugby really.
Add to that, the fact that the handball version of "football" is only played in the US with any real authority - therefore it's not even in the same league as football - which is a WORLDWIDE game (yes - that means that other countries get to compete, not just random parts of america....
The football world cup (just to confirm - not just america) brings together fans from all over the world, united in the most beautiful sporting game known to man.
In terms of establishment date - by the time the american game was established, most UK counties or towns had professional football teams, and most countries (not just europe - its a WORLDWIDE game - which yes - means bigger than europe) could also put out an international team - to challenge themselves, and prove that theirs was the best way of playing football.
It's not Xenopobic to think that the Americans know jack sh1t about sport - its actually what the rest of the world thinks. The problem that you and many other americans have, is that the internet means that we get the opportunity to tell you these days.
Indycar - Poor Mans F1 (which is what the rest of the world watches)
Baseball - a cissies game given a bigger bat and a new name - we gave it to you, whilst laughing at all the stupid americans playing a girls game.
Basketball - See Baseball - its all a bit like netball.
American Football - Rugby for weak people - watch a rugby game - you'll understand why we were also laughing at you when you told us the rules of "football" - everywhere else we play without the helmets - so we just let you play in your own "world" series.
And for your information, there was no beer involved in that post - I really do feel that way about americans tainting the name of our game with their poor substitute for a game of a different name (rugby).
