In euro futbol players constantly pretend like they are hurt to draw fouls, int the NFL players spend the whole game convincing coaches and doctors that they are fine and able to still play
To put NFL players into perspective, it helps to utilize metrics "futbol" fans will understand: imagine an athlete 1.8-2m tall, weighing 85-110kg, strong enough to bench press 100kg 20-25 times in a row, running at 9m/s, tryihg to hit you as hard as he can.
@@user-fx2jc3nu4q Not remotely the same thing. Rugby is all slower motion tackles from the waist down for the most part. NFL hits are the equivalent of a 53 km/h car crash. (35 mph for us Americans)
@@theneverenderreactsno my friend. They throw penalty flags. Usually just turns into a 5-15 yard penalty on the next play. If you are interested I’ll snoop around on RU-vid and find a good video on the rules and what each flag means.
We in America not only watch this, but football is damned near a RELIGION!! (Especially here in Texas!) Friday night high school, Saturday college ball, and Sunday NFL! 🏈 ❤
As a guy who played football in college, and ran my share of special teams, the violence of the hits in why football is not a contact sport but a collision sport. Now in my 50's, I am feeling the effects of those years of smashing and crashing for sure.
This is why we have such disdain for soccer. While soccer players flop after being looked at the wrong way, football players celebrate big hits and are encouraged to get back up and keep fighting.
We have disdain for soccer because its a low skill activity, no throwing or catching skills and kicking a ball into a large net you're standing in front of isn't very impressive.
These types of hits don't happen all the time, but once a game you're going to see a hit that is at least close to these. By the way, we American's don't think a bunch of guys running around in their shorts without getting hit is football.
I love football. I played it from the age of 6 to the age of 18 all through school. My knees are so damaged now at the age of 55 because of it but I would still go back if I could and do it all over again
I'm going to put it like this, we in the USA are built differently. We grew up playing this s***. This ain't nothing, s*** we used to throw rocks at each other as a game. We used to play tackle football in the street , before the bus came. Now you know why our US military so tough and why the rest of the world needs us. While everyone else grows up playing soccer around the world, we're here beating the hell out of each other as friends. It's understandable you would find it violent. But we used to try to hurt each other when we played because that's what you do. And after we helped each other up and laughed about it
That's what my drill Sargent would ask back during basic training. Injured you went to the medics. Hurt you shake it off and carry on. And God save you if you faked an injury!
I mean, I wouldn't say they're totally okay. Most of these people end up with severe permanent injuries and brain damage over the course of their carreers.
I only played high school but still have problems 30 years later. It kills your body. I'm so happy I played because it made me a stronger person mentally and physically but in both of those it also hurts as well.
I understand what you are saying. I only played 1 year in HS my senior year, and played as a CB, part time receiver, and all special teams, and can say that special teams are really special because you can get your bell rung every play. This was in the 80's and to your point was a tremendous experience, although did get clocked many times. Well worth it for the experience.
Here's what I tell folks. I have old injuries that are absolutely causing issues as I approach 50. Cracked tailbone, torn calf, 2 torn ankles, numerous dislocations, 3 rotator cuff tears, countless MCL/ACL sprains. All but 1 of those? I was a ballet dancer 😂 My son has had 3 concussions, 2 broken ankles, 3 broken fingers, UCL sprains & a UCL subluxation (means the elbow nerve pops out). All from baseball. Not ONE single football injury. Other than sitting at home playing chess everything has a risk/a price we pay when we get older 😎 might as well have fun 😎😎😎
Some of the best WWE stars were high school, collage, or NFL players. Goldberg, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the Rock Dwayne Johnson. Goldberg signature move was the spear a football tackle where you fly through the persons midsection.
American football got its name fron shape of ball. And to be honest, American football came 1st according to Google. In soccer, Scotland and England played Nov. 30th, 1872 in what FIFA recognizes today as the 1st official match up. The 1st American football match was played on Nov. 6th, 1869, making American football the 1st one invented between the 2. So, in my opinion, I'm going to keep calling American version football, and the other soccer.
Lol your comment screams lack of research. FIFA is the organization for international competitions not local. England vs Scotland is the first official match between 2 international teams. The first match between actual soccer clubs was on Dec 19, 1863. Lol what’s even more funny is that this 1st football match was played using soccer rules.
@vip- so you just made shit up bc you dont like the facts that are recorded for the sports history? Gotcha. Keep watching pussys run around falling on the ground without being touched faking injuries nonstop. Soccer is a pussy sport.
Most of the hits were legal Sheff they occurred... even the face mask. The most obvious illegal hit is the punt returner getting hit before catching the ball. Some are considered unnecessary roughness... meaning they took it a step too far.
That guy you said was was knocked out, once the play was blown dead, just jumped up and ran back to the team huddle as if nothing happed. If fact, in most of these plays, the guy just got up and walked away. These guys will spend hours in the weight rooms adding 10 to 13+ KG of muscle weight to their already massive frames.
There are no red cards in American football. There is something called “unnecessary roughness” like hitting after the whistle or pulling them down by the collar of their pads and it’s a 15yard penalty. No one gets kicked out.
The black-and-white footage at around 3:35 shows a face-mask penalty. There was a very brief period after the introduction of the mask when grabbing it was not illegal, I think, but that is extremely rare. And is most definitely a penalty Now.
Not even just in high-school, but in backyards and on the street throughout childhood into adulthood. Mud bowls and turkey bowls were brutal. No referees no penalties. We only quit when it got to bloody. Going back to work on Monday morning was....haarrd!
I hope you realize that Soccer was an original name given by the Brit's in the 1880's, so football really is US. It was not a US thing so thank the Brits for that.
"People watch this?" - Friday nights are High School football; Saturdays are for College Football (traditionally); and Sundays are for Pro football. There are also scheduled Thursday night and Monday night Pro games and College now plays regularly on Thursday and Friday nights. Pro football teams play 17 regular season games and NCAA College have 12 regular season games. The number of high school games played each season varies WILDLY from state-to-state and sometimes from school district-to-school district. The season generally runs from August to End of January with the Bowl season for College occurring from Mid-December to late January and the Super Bowl for Pros occurring in early February. What I'm trying to say here is, yes, we all watch it. Every damn one of us knows at least a little about football, even if we don't watch it religiously. My tiny little farming town of 400 people completely empties out to go watch the high school games when they're at home. And it's freakin' 8-Man football because there aren't enough kids in this school to field a whole team.
In the 90's I was hit and hit people like that. It was before rule changes and I never played past high school. Yes, there was no feeling like laying someone out but also no feeling like getting laid out. It wasn't a game, it was war. Now it's alot safer and alot of these clips are absolutely illegal now.
In North American Football....the players on both teams are tackling and blocking each other from advancing toward scoring...depending on the position they play. So at the beginning of the video the player you saw running and thought was going to block the player ahead of him, he wasn't...the player you thought was hit illegally, was the one that was running toward his teams end zone to get ahead and open to catch the ball the quarterback is to throw to him on his way to score a goal....In our football, it is full contact where the defense physically battle to stop the offense from having possession of the ball and advancing to the end zone to score, and the offense is physically fighting them back and away from stopping their progress or stealing the ball in some way. These tackles are clean , no dirty hits or are fouls....we don't have red cards or cards of any kind to represent a penalty foul, the referees throw small "flags" to indicate a foul was committed during the play. But this kind of physicality is the game itself really.
As a player for the two time Texas 5A champion, the Temple Wildcats, I miss this sooooo much. There is nothing like destroying someone. The feeling is incredible. Blue Front White Back Magic! THS 🤘
You can't claim anything from 2 time champions unless you were on one of the winning teams. That's like fans screaming "WE WON!", when all they did was sit in the stands drinking beer.
Most of these hits are perfectly legal tackles. Concussion is obviously the most obvious injury. And serious injuries are "common" in a sense there are usually like 4-8 players in the whole league that will miss several games from serious injuries. And then you have the severe which is miss the rest of the season injuries, those are quite rare to see in modern football. And we don't just watch this, we play it starting at like 6 or 7 lol. Sometimes before.
"Are we playing WWE"... Nah this is REAL. Some of this stuff you cant do anymore (facemask and some of the QB or defenseless receiver hits). But this is mostly the game. Try to hold the ball until you get to the end. The other guys... try not to let you get to the end.
American Football is the real Football. Your sport is called soccer, bud. America didnt make the name, England did. Blame them. Either way your sport is called Soccer. Thats why the ball is a soccer ball.
Do you know how to do math? Bc that makes American Football 3 years older than Soccer or what we call the pussy sport bc of all flops and fake injuries.
Look man if you can't do a simple google search of which sport was invented first, please don't comment. wasted my time searching that shit up lol when. I knew ya'll just copy every single thing from other countries. Your internet is even fake or you could be just stupid. Know your facts before you start commenting bullshit
Welcome to the NFL, its one of the big four sports we have here. The others are MLB, NBA and NHL, and don't forget college football, it's bigger than the NFL. The 15 biggest stadiums are all college.8 are over 100K. a few suggestions MLB 15 longest home runs NFL here comes the boom NBA best slam dunks NHL glass-breaking moments.
Many American Football (or Gridiron Football, if you prefer, since it is played in Canada, Japan and a few other countries as well) players go on to become WWE Superstars. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played for the University of Miami as well as in the Canadian Football League. This particular game of Football is about as 'American' as it gets. In many ways, understanding the sport is key to understanding the United States. (:
After watching his reaction now, I can't wait to watch his follow-up video in four years when the Olympics introduces North America (because Canada and Mexico play both futball and) "REAL FOOTBALL"
Many of what was shown is now illegal and the penalty is called “targeting” and the player responsible is ejected from the game. This change was made a couple years ago to protect defenseless players.
Now you know why football players are called Gridiron Gladiators, because this is the closest thing you are gonna see to actual gladiators fighting in the arena
Some of these hits were illegal when they were filmed, some of them would be illegal now and some are just good solid hits. What people overlook when they say “Oh, they are all padded up it’s not that bad.” Is that because of the pads you can hit together harder before you get injured,so when you do get injured you are really injured. One of the first things they learn when playing is that there is a difference between hurt and injured. In every state that does football there will be at least one player fatality per year and an average of ten players who receive crippling or career ending injuries each year. Just to show how serious the NFL games are the average career for a player is only three years.
Those were clips from a few Pee Wee aged games, some High School and College, and NFL games. With rule changes, a few of the hits shown are now illegal. But for the most part most of them are just damn good and well timed hits to either bring down the ball carrier or stop someone that is attempting to bring down the ball carrier. American football is a very physically demanding game and has many injuries, but not as many as you would think that come to life threatening status or immediate career ending ones as the technology continues to grow in designing proper gear they wear.
Allow me to help everyone out. When Football started in this country, The QB could not pass, hand off or run with it. He had to kick it to a fellow team mate. Hence the name football. Since then many many changes have come to the game. And many more will follow.
Several sports are types of football. Rugby, Gridiron (American and Canadian), Australian, Gaelic, not just Association. They all descend from Medieval Football which had few rules. At 1:29 that hit was probably legal. I can't tell if he hit the guy in the head (illegal) or in the shoulder (legal). Grabbing a player by his face mask, or the helmet opening is illegal. That wasn't just the NFL, there was some CFL (Canadian Football), College Football, High School and pee-wee. 5:27 is currently illegal. There is an unnecessary roughness penalty in the sport. Red Cards aren't a thing in American Football, though a player can get ejected. The closest think we have to a yellow card is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, you get ejected if you get two in one game. Closest we have to a red card is targeting in College Football, which is a 15 yard penalty and an ejection, or fighting. If you want to know more about the sport check out Ninh's Rules of American Football. It covers the basics. Also College Football and College Basketball are big here. There are videos about traditions in College Football on RU-vid.
🇺🇸 let’s goo!! It is forsure a sport they get paid 100s of millions to play the game they love just as much as any other sport. The players love the hits as well
This might be a little confusing for you since you watch soccer but there will be no one getting tapped on their leg and falling down like they've been shot and faking injuries all over the field. Also the score won't end 0-0 after an indeterminate amount of boring time watching people just sort of run back and forth a lot
Soccer is long periods of tedious boredom interspersed with brief moments of excitement. That's probably why they riot alot. Because during the tedious boredom they drink a metric buttload waiting for the brief moment of excitement!
You play soccer because you're scared to play football. Soccer and rugby are gentle sports for people who don't want to get hit. You should stick with these sports rather than football. You probably have no idea how big these players are. A defensive lineman is around 6'8", weights 275lbs and can bench press over 500 lbs and run a 5 second 40 yard dash. Whining about it won't change it. Maybe you should tryout for the local Croquet team.
These guys are feeling every bit of it. Take Ray Lewis for example, he hits at 1000 pounds and the pads only absorb 50% of it, so the guy still feel 500 pounds per square inch to the chest
My favorite part of these videos is reminding folks the title is inaccurate. A good part of these are also college and high school. So ages 13-18 (except the pewee kids which are likely around 6 years old). 😎
