Why are soccer fans so insecure that they keep on asking dumb questions regarding American football?
Haha...good question. They're just amazed that Americans don't go crazy over soccer so they try to make fun of American football...however, American football is simply a much, much more exciting game. I'm not a soccer hater, it's alright, but not nearly as exciting as football.

Question about (American)Football.......?
hey guys, i was just wondering...... is it true that (American)Football is for gay people? the way they cover themselves with shoulder pads, helmets and flamboyant leggings that suggest it is a gay sport. and should'nt it be called HandEgg instead of FootBall? or at least EggBall? or maybe GayBoyBall? Try out these new names. i think it will catch on. if you wanna see a real sport played by real men, watch Rugby. Thank you.
Questions about being a Kicker in American Football...?
I highly encourage you to become the kicker for your high school football team next season. My best advice for you is to work hard and perform very well in practice every day. In addition, what you need to do this month (and every offseason) is eat healthy, exercise by doing weight lifting, and either jogging or going for a long run every day. If you do these things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of becoming a successful, top notch kicker in high school football, who could go on to play college football in the future. By the way, here are 7 tips/techniques you should use: 1. Have the ball held with the laces pointed away from you. It should be straight up and not leaning a little the other way of the side you are on, or as you progress with your kicking you will learn which way to have the ball leaning (if any lean at all). 2. Take 2-6 steps backwards (whatever feels comfortable) and 2 steps to the opposite side from your kicking foot (left if you are a rightie, and right if you are a leftie). 3. Look at the uprights (goal posts) and imagine the ball sailing through. Then give the holder a signal that you are ready and think about how you should be kicking the ball. Don't think about the score/if you need to make this to win the game... always think of your structure. 4. Your first actual step should be with your kicking foot, turning it just a little bit. This is called "prelock"ing your foot. 5. Your last step before you kick the ball will be your plant step. If you are kicking off-the-ground (college or pro players), your ankle should be in front of the ball to give the ball the height you need. High school players using a 2" tee should have their toes in front of the TEE to also give you the height you need. high school players using a 1" tee should have the arch of their foot in the middle of the tee to give you the height you need. 6. Keep your head down so you don't side of the ball. 7. Follow through. Flexibility is key with your follow through; the higher you follow through, the higher your ball will go.
American Football(NFL) vs Rugby?
Ok, there has been a lot of talk that American Football is for *******. I ask the question, Who would you bet your money on. Who do you think would win. Who hits harder, a Proffesional American Linebacker without padding, or an rugby guy without padding. I understand rugby is more rougher without cups, and padding. Americans play football with neighborhood friends all the time which could be rugby. So let me have your opinions. To me, there is no competition. AMERICAN FOOTBALL ALL DAY!!! LOL thanks

What are some good questions to ask a NFL football player?
1. What are some of the hardest lessons you've learned as an NFL player? 2. Which players have you learned the most from? 3. Which players make you laugh out loud? 4. If you were to build your dream NFL team, including retired players, who would you pick and why? 5. What are some of the unexpected and pleasant surprises you've had as a pro athlete? I think I'm a bit of jealous that you get to ask these questions! Good luck!
Which American football teams are up for sale?
None, as Phil said. Though the Cleveland Browns would be the most likely team to go up for sale soon if their owner Jim Haslman is indicted (and potentially convicted) for fraud. But even then it's not a sure deal, nothing stops an owner from keeping their team if they are convicted, the only thing that could force them to sell would if advertisers pulled their support.This excludes the Bills being for sale after their owner passed away recently, but that is a slightly different case than the Browns. Another team that recently changed hands was the Jacksonville Jaguars who were bought in 2012.
