silly debate. comparing futbol to American Football is like comparing bowling to billiards. just different skills.
NFL to rugby to Aussie Rules, now that's a legit comparison. and the fact is, NFL players train for short bursts of energy and the others don't. a #7 on a rugby team could be a linebacker, and vice versa. the difference is the years of training.
your debate reminds me of the thousands of threads on Jon Jones and the bigger meaning of his (utter lack of) ball handling skills. the answer is, it doesn't mean shit. he sucks handling a basketball,
and he found an athletic sport that he excels at.
futbol players are great athletes and so are American Football players. and not only do they excel at different things, but they spent 20+ years training to enforce those different things.
only a very few select athletes could excel at both. true Bo Jackson types.
i'm not sure which of you is trolling the other and which is the victim
but if neither of you are neither and i'm just being a big shitty downer to what you feel is a fun legitimate debate, then feel free to ignore me. cheers.
