Furball, with all do repect...(And any other who think in the same mannor, both American football and the rest of the world football fans)
Get over it. Please. Two different sports, two different parts of the world, two different cultures. You think one way, I think another. Dont you think we sometimes feel the exact same way toward our own sport? (Which may happen few times, but it still does) And I imagine that you are not always pleased with your sport, that rare occasion when your favorite player or team has a big event over something insignifigant, and you wish they would just get on and play. (which you may not admit to)Its something that cannot as of yet be proved. Just like debating if there are aliens...Its pointless to argue unless it can be positivly proved or proven wrong. (The truth is out there

)
And also Furball. The few you see rolling around on the feild are only ones you usually see. I know personally a player on my football team, he broke his thigh bone in a game in the second quarter. He didnt know it until the next day he was so pumped full of adreneline. There are the players in the game that sprain and break bones all the time in College and in the NFL and continue playing.
And no Im not just being biased aganst soccer ( football ) fans. If a football fan came on here and said something along the lines of what you stated aganst soccer (football) Id say the same thing to them.

And to do with the missing finger, my old tech drawing teacher 2 fingers when he was in the NAVY. He lost the ring finger and middle finger. He used to joke around with us, how he could piss guys off with their dates giving the chicks the I love you symbol.
