American football best sport on the planet in terms of strategy, physicality, IQ, and athleticism. Playbooks are 10,000 pages long. Mfs are utilizing quantum mechanics just to score a touchdown

strategy and gameplan maybe but no way you believe AF is the best sport in terms of physicality and Athleticism you legit dont need to be athletic to play the game on a rather high level from what ive seen
edit: i have to say im not too experienced in AF but it also doesnt seem too hard to score a touchdown of course it depends on your opponents but idk

?????? Bruh you need to be incredibly fast and twitchy to be an NFL wide receiver and you need to jump high as fuck, you won't even get drafted if you run a 40 yard dash below 4.60 lol. And to be an NFL O lineman or D lineman you need to have a very strong base and long arms with power, alot of variety in terms of body type in the NFL.

well you could also be overweight and play in the nfl as a doesnt have anything to do with athleticism of course some positions require different bodytypes and abilities but still look at rugby there I would say the players need an overall more athletic body for example its also extremely physical the need to be fast, jump etc.

If you show up to training camp overweight, they give you 2 weeks to get in shape or you get cut lol

I heard of the exact opposite: often defensive players are being told to gain weight because it gives them the upper hand against less heavy opponents which is just unhealthy. I read it in an article in the new york times a while back I think.

I'd say it's the most important sport in terms of coordinated team play and importance of a good division of labor. You need big tough guys on offense and defense (moreso than you do in hockey), players who can run, dodge people trying to tackle them, and understand where they need to be on the field for a given play. Your QB has to have an amazing arm and on the fly thinking, as well as being a good communicator between the coach and your teammates.

TDs / field goals are scored different than you probably think. Saying a TD is easy in the NFL is like saying it's easy to score a goal in football/soccer in champion's league.

I'm saying all this and I hardly even watch American football.

yes but i said in AF in general not in the NFL. And because of the breaks etc for me it never seemed so exhausting idk like i said i also dont have that much knowledge of AF but the body types seem extremely diverse

what do you mean by most important but i agree with you with the division of labor but the coordination imo isnt much more important/better than it is in other team sports it only has a higher ceiling of coordination because of the amount of pauses etc

The fact that you said unless it's World Cup proofs you don't like ti because you don't have any passion for any football team. That's why you do like the World Cup because you do care

World Cup just pulls on everyone's patriotic strings, a lot of people that I know who don't watch football outside the World Cup have no idea how the games works besides kicking the ball into the goal, doesn't really prove that you care much about the sport itself.

That's the point I'm trying to make here. That patriotic feeling that it's stronger than the feeling most people have for whatever team they follow in whatever sport they like it's very very common in Football. Idk how to explain it to you but it's almost a way of life for many people here to watch their team

I'm saying I understand you don't like the sport if you don't have that passion for it which is not that easily acquired

basketball sucks, so many free throws most games and a big part of the sport is drawing contact. i know that that can be said with soccer too but its on a much higher scale in basketball. basketball a cool sport but the concept of drawing fouls being such a big part of the game really puts me off

blocks and crossovers are better imo in basketball, dunks dont exist, and by game winners I mean buzzer beaters which also dont exist.

dunks dont exist

they do, they're called bicycle kicks, and they happen to be vastly more entertaining than nowadays boring dunks.

game winning goals, scored in the min 120+1 of a 120 min match, absolutely shit on buzzer beaters lol

basketball happens to be the best of the big sports in North America, but don't try to oversell it and make it seem something bigger than it is, because it is not. It has its place, and the whole world knows where that place is, below the king.

dunks. ronaldo vs juventus iconic header is like a dunk

buzzer beater appeals to children, there is effectively a buzzer beater when a goal is scored at 120+3 or something like this. same thing just less horns and flashing lights
