Answer 8

The reaction of us British is not in comparing your football with our football but in the comparison of American Football to Rugby. Rugby developed in the UK from Football and American Football developed from Rugby. There is not all the protective outfit wear that your players wear for American football worn for Rugby. A comparison of American football and rugby league can be made due to their shared origins, resulting in similarities and shared concepts in terms of scoring and advancing the ball. Of all the world's sports (except Canadian football), rugby league is the sport that American football is most similar to.

Generally, American football games last much longer than 80-minute rugby league matches. Due to the field being re-set after each tackle in American football, it is much slower paced than the more hectic rugby league, in which play stops for only as long as it takes the tackled player to get back to his feet and return the ball to play. Another major difference is that only the player with possession of the ball may be interfered with in rugby league. Defending players interfering with any other attacking player (and vice versa) will incur a penalty. Passing in the two sports also differs in that American football players are allowed to throw the ball forward (subject to some restrictions) whilst in rugby league forward passing is illegal.

Another obvious difference is the players' attire, with helmets, gloves and large amounts of padding around the body being the norm for American football. Comparatively little padding (if any) is used in rugby league, with a small fraction of players opting for light headgear.- this is the main reason the British think that american football is 'girly'.
