Ever watched Australian rules football? (I think that's what it's called)
Now that's a bizzarre game (to an American like me).
who have you seen diving in AF. A punter trying to draw a penalty. Give me a break. You don't know the game at all.

Exactly. Diving is the last thing you could accuse the players in the NFL of doing. Mostly because blocking and tackling are lega parts of the game, so what is to be gained by diving?
Do any of the Soccer people on here want to comment on the soccer offsides? I mentioned I think it is bad for soccer and makes it too defensive. Hardly any shots on goal makes the game frustrating to watch. Why don't they use a line to mark a section of the field, like the blue line in hockey? Once you're in with the ball anything goes.
But then, we also play Rugby, wihtout any padding ..
The off side rule in FOOTBALL is there for a very good reason, to stop goal hanging, you could have two players camped out by the goal keeper just waiting for the ball to come.
No that rule is there for a very good reason
Why would padding be required, it's not like they run full speed into each other. Just a bunch of tackling and poking each other in the eye from what I gather, we used to play that when we were kids here and called it smear the queer or Muckle, it's not that rough. Since you refuse to make an intelligent post regarding Football I guess I will return the favor
Well as a kid, or you still might be, you proberly played kids rugby (Rugby League or touch Rugby) as we do here for our kids under 12, as the game adults play (Union) is far to dangerous for kids to play, as we run at each other head on, without pads.
With rugby, the player that you see, is what you get, not like AF were the 8' giant of a player, is actually 5'1" with all his padding removed.
My dad, before he was prime minister was in the SAS, and before that, he taught the hard men, how to be tough, and before that he was a policeman..
So there..
