This is what I’ve been saying. Haven’t you been listening?</p>
<p>
No. In American Football, you use your feet to move (which you do in every game) and your hands to hold/pass the ball. There is similar hand/foot usage in Hockey, Baseball, Tennis, Cricket etc.</p>
No, you haven’t been saying that. You said something along the lines of, “In every sport you use your feet.” That doesn’t mean the same thing as, “In every sport you have to get from A to B.”</p>
<p>
You don’t juke out defenders with your hand. You don’t jump up for the ball with your hand. You don’t evade pressure with your hand. You use your feet for these things. Even though there is no physical interaction between a foot and the ball in these things, this is what football is based on.</p>
In EVERY SPORT you use your feet for something. The fact that you use your feet for certain things does not change the fact that American Football is primarily a game with your hands.</p>

This could be because American Football is as boring as hell.</p>
<p>Soccer is so much more interesting that American football… I don’t want to watch a bunch of men huddle for 45 seconds to later watch them run around for 6 seconds…</p>
<p>Coming from a country where soccer is played like everyday I can second the statement that soccer players don’t run 100%, not even the player with the ball does that, or it’s done rarely. It is about keeping up with the ball, that’s self explanatory, you wouldn’t want to outrun the ball.</p>
<p>Soccer is BORING to watch PERIOD; and does not require as much work as football(this might depend on the position you play however).</p>
<p>I’m not really a fan of either so its not like my opinions are biased but I really don’t find soccer that exciting and hard from personal experience, but I’ve never really spent much time watching football so I can’t comment too much on whether watching it is exciting/boring.</p>
<p>I don’t really see the point in debating in which of the 2 sports the players run more or more intensely. If you wanna see people running go watch a marathon.</p>
<p>American football is much more about fast-twitch muscles (i.e. running at full speed for 5 or so seconds at a time). Ultimately, it probably requires a higher degree of athleticism, but for a shorter period of time.</p>
<p>Soccer players are much more conditioned than American football players. Sure, there are periods in the game that require sprinting, but it’s generally not as prevalent.</p>
<p>I guess it depends on what your definition is. Soccer players run much MORE in a game, but football players require a level of agility that many soccer players just don’t need.</p>
<p>Soccer needs more endurance because it is constant running but football you need to be stronger it seems to me. But idk, they both are fun to watch. But track anyone??? No one mentioned it lol.</p>
<p>Soccer takes a high degree of brain power than football. The players are forced to think on their feet and use switch tactic on the fly while football uses a variety of rehearsed plays created by the coach.</p>
No, it’s not. The use of hand and feet are shared evenly in football, just like in every other sport except boring, old soccer.</p>
<p>
I think it’s arguable that an American football quarterback is just as smart or smarter than a soccer player. The quarterback has to be able to read the defense, and choose from a large selection of audibles if he feels that his offense needs tweaking at the line of scrimmage.</p>
