That is nothing but "Coward's Rugby" protected by all that gear
Indeed. Valid criticism. The solution would be to get rid of all the layers of cyborg armour in American "Football". It provokes contempt.
The guy starts laughing as hits the ground,,,,,,, its all fake!
Indeed. Valid criticism. Such behaviour provokes disdain. The solution would be to introduce embellishment rules like they have in NHL. We already have penalties for diving, now it's time to penalize the c*nts who want to win Oscars with their embellishing performances.
Also, when it comes to football, the balance between offence and defence has been severly distorted in recent years (towards defence). Something has to be done about it. I don't know - enlarge the goals, adjust the offside rule to allow 0.5m offside positions for example, do something because watching games like France - Portugal yesterday is
unbearable. People say that baseball or cricket are boring, and they're right, but the France-Portugal game was on level par with any cricket game when it comes to entertainment.
If nothing changes in football (I mean proper football, not the American cyborgball) I'm switching to volleyball, handball and ice hockey. Joker is right that will all the galactic money, draining of all talent into 3 or 4 strongest leagues, and diving c*nts trying to win Oscars on the pitch, it's slowly turning into wrestling (a very boring kind of wrestling sometimes, as we observed yesterday).
