I am Jack said:
See that's more like it, having a reasoned debate is much better than instantly assuming one is a troll.
Clearly there is a bit of skill involved, clearly the players are not all steroid munchers. But like I said, it's a rant thread, there are exaggerations everywhere.
But look at other sports, in most the physical and technical requirements are higher. In cricket, against a fast bowler, you may have less than a second to react to any swing/spin/funny bounce, pick where you're going to place the shot and then perform a perfect shot. In rugby, you have to stop men who may be twice your weight, but you can't do this simply by running into them, there is skill involved in the tackle.
I accept that the intervals every 5 seconds may be down to commercial reasons, but American football is far from the be all and end all, we all differing opinions when it comes to sport, and the best advice I can give you my friend is that most people in the world don't care for American football, so shouting at those who don't is pretty futile. I love rugby, to me it is the ultimate team sport, however is someone posts 'I really hate rugby' I'd think 'oh well' and move on.
