I need help in debating why american football is better than soccer.

Question

So I got into a bit of a debate with my coworker who sits next to me who dissed football saying is a brainless sport/takes no skill, and further yet the v****a pulled the soccer card.

Basically his arguments were

-it's liked by most of the world(which I replied so was britney spears/N 'Sync/Backstreet Boys and pointed out other fads that were incredibly stupid.

Takes more stamina(which I conceded), but he was saying that soccer players were in much better shape, which I said was ludicrous, in football you have to not only train stamina to make it through the game, but strength/speed/jumping ability, when compared football players are just more superior athletes by far.

It's more dangerous(I almost started laughing), he pointed out that soccer players don't wear pads, I pointed out that directly charging/tackling players is against the rules and results in a foul, and the average soccer player is like 150-170 pounds instead of 200-300, but they move about the same speed(again, football players are much better athlets.

I need more help to put this clown to rest. Any arguments/insight you can give?

Answer 1

both are great sports but football takes more out of you and its more exciting to watch. soccer players are like marathon runners, football players are like weight lifters...

Answer 2

It doesnt matter about any of that.

If u ever been on a team and went through that 2-4 hours of football practice you can't say soccer is harder then that.

Also, in a game is way harder then practice.

Answer 3

In football people knock the c**p out of other people.

Answer 4

Hello...I've played both football in America and Soccer in Libya, but Hands down football is better. In Soccer you only get a moment of excitement maybe one or two times an entire 90 minutes of a Soccer game while with football it's exciting every play and anything could become gold. In Soccer there is that Off sides Rule and all the stupid penalties that were obviously faked that just takes away the integrity of the game in my mind. In Football you never get a 350 pd. offensive tackle crying that the other guy kicked him in the shin. Football is a very intense sport but for pure running distance soccer takes the cake on the other hand none of those soccer players are running after getting getting laid out by a beastly 250 pd. Linebacker. Yes Soccer players don't wear pads except for shin guards, but that is the only place you need them...none of the game is that contact orientated. so go tell your coworker to go out and play a full game of football and see if he still think that soccer is better or more dangerous...hope I helped
