Soccer/fubol - who plays?

Cause they're running people over, avoiding tackles, breaking tackles and scoring touchdowns against the biggest, strongest and fastest combined athletes in the world.

all of what you said translates to soccer as well. fastest athletes would definitely go to soccer... line up any football player vs a good soccer player and have them run 120yds ( a soccer field) and see who wins.

uk is right in his first post on this page, football isn't expensive either... you can pick up anything you want and throw it just as easily as you can kick it. as a kid, i played a lot of tackle football without pads or a helmet, its the same as soccer. the higher you go, the more you actually need the gear.

little kids in pee wee football wear pads, but little kids that play soccer in a league still have jerseys, shin guards, and cleats, so its not like they all kick around a ball of trash...

I'm not hating on soccer, that's what I've played my entire life! I was just explaining why the football runs were good. I also meant that football players are a overall fastest, biggest and strongest combined averages...if that makes sense.

By the way, the fastest soccer players aren't faster than the fastest American football players. There are players in the NFL that run sub 4.4 40yds and sub 10sec 100yds.
