Football a Real man's Sport.

 Authors Note: I'm writing this because soccer players talk to much smack and use hysteria type football nonsense." Speed is everything I could do better. Being a line man is easy. I don't need blockers. I'm better than all of you."




Soccer players in our school are always saying that our football team sucks and how they could do better. Football players subdue instant pain and a quick pace with around a five second break sprinting away and to the huddle’s. Soccer players trot the field not getting hit just shoved. For football you need to remember plays and be able to sprint and find someone to block or tackle within around two seconds.

When a football play starts the line collides and you hear grunts of pain and pops of shoulder pads. When a soccer play start the ball is kicked into play and they try to evade defenders and not touch the person only the ball. In football you are told to hit the man with the ball and your goal getting the ball is a bonus.

I understand soccer players need more endurance, in football you have to deal with physical and mental pain. The pain is more from getting hit not strained from running or exercising depending on what position you play. Soccer players say they don’t wear pads, but really they don’t need them if they were needed they would be provided if it was really that brutal without pads kids would be dropping like flies. Football player have pads, but still get severely injured and it’s not all that uncommon that a kid has to sit out for the season because of injuries.

When the football is kicked off both teams run towards the ball and one team turns around and blocks for the guy who received the kick. The kick off team doesn’t have to slow down at all so it generates some pretty brutal collision especially if the blockers try to sprint and the other guys doesn’t move at all and just keeps going directly into him, I have firsthand experience of the force generated from that type of collision. In soccer you kick the ball from midfield and the game begins not really all that much hitting going on.


Soccer player talk smack about how they are tougher and hit more, football plays just kind of lay back knowing they get more mentally and physically strained, mostly because we have to think a lot more. When you have to think while in pain it takes a huge toll on your mind, and body. Football players wear pads and still get hurt way more often than soccer players.
