Uhh... ok football is popular? never said it wasn't. Im saying i don't understand why when there is only 11 minutes of actual play in a game, and to me the play is not even quality. Better than baseball for sure, but if you think 250lb men colliding is athletic, well coo i guess... but there are way more physical sports than football (eg hockey), which actually incorporate alot of skill as well.

Football is like a game of physical chess. Hockey is like basketball on ice you just go back and forth back and forth...

I prefer watching Rugby games, it's physical and it doesnt stop for commercial break every 30 seconds.

Hockey is not way more physical than football. Football is as physical as it gets until you get to sports like MMA. Hockey is definitely up there though. There are some really good hits in hockey, but football is two teams crashing into each other every single play, and players constantly get injured. Their brains are rattled so much that the average lifespan of an NFL player is like 50-something years.

Football is physical enough that I don't want my 2 year old nephew playing it. I know what I went through and the head and shoulder injuries I suffered. These days coaches and parents are a lot more aware of head injuries but still, it's a brutal game that can seriously screw you up if not paralyze or kill you. I'd rather him wrestle and do BJJ like I did, where you can satisfy your aggressive urges but not subject yourself to concussions and bone-crunching hits.

Baseball like I said is a lot more fun to play than it is to watch, and it's nowhere near as intellectual as football. Football is incredibly complicated.
