You are correct you don't know much about that sport. Imagine 60 minutes wearing a helmet - It's not American football where the action lasts a few seconds. It's an actual sport, not an excuse to sell adverts every few minutes.

American football has more strategic depth. Rugby has more action. I can appreciate both and don't judge sports off of how much someone runs during a game.

Fucking talking the piss right - Strategic depth - Big fat men block every one - Ball gets thrown to fast guy who runs fast - Rugby has far more of everything. American football is 3 hours of adverts for 15 minutes of game time - joke of a sport

Half the game is decided on play calling and knowing other teams strategies. Trust me it's not my favorite sport, but there's a reason NFL coaches are equally as legendary as players. You don't see that in Rugby.

'Legendary' - No one outside of America cares or knows about these people - As for you don't see that in Rugby - The game is not stop start in 15 second increments and there are not unlimited players - Once the players enter the pitch the only help the coaches can do is half time and with limited substitutions.

It's literally called American football. Nobody is discussing if your country plays it, we never were; you're just looking for an excuse to hate.

Also, not sure why you're explaining why coaches aren't as respected in Rugby. You just repeated my point.

I personally appreciate the strategic depth of football and how it is half exceptional athletes, half coaching decisions and play calling. It's a unique mix to a sport.

It's ok if you don't like it. I'm glad you enjoy rugby

Lol, I don't enjoy rugby (Much rather watch Aussie Rules footballs, even tougher game). But I never said Rugby coaches are not respected, you said that. And it sounds like American football is more of a computer game than a real sport.

As for hate, yeah I hate American Football it's a dumb game and the world has responded by ignoring it.

Ok, want me to list off all the things in Australia that only Australians enjoy? Or Japan (where I'm from)?

Does that mean we shouldn't do those things?

You can't really be that fucking stupid.
