As a guy who played football in college, and ran my share of special teams, the violence of the hits in why football is not a contact sport but a collision sport. Now in my 50's, I am feeling the effects of those years of smashing and crashing for sure.

It’s worth it I’ll tell you that

To put NFL players into perspective, it helps to utilize metrics "futbol" fans will understand: imagine an athlete 1.8-2m tall, weighing 85-110kg, strong enough to bench press 100kg 20-25 times in a row, running at 9m/s, tryihg to hit you as hard as he can.

We in America not only watch this, but football is damned near a RELIGION!! (Especially here in Texas!) Friday night high school, Saturday college ball, and Sunday NFL! 🏈 ❤

I love football. I played it from the age of 6 to the age of 18 all through school. My knees are so damaged now at the age of 55 because of it but I would still go back if I could and do it all over again

These types of hits don't happen all the time, but once a game you're going to see a hit that is at least close to these. By the way, we American's don't think a bunch of guys running around in their shorts without getting hit is football.

This is why athletes play football and hockey, and floppers play soccer and basketball.

Most of the hits were legal Sheff they occurred... even the face mask. The most obvious illegal hit is the punt returner getting hit before catching the ball. Some are considered unnecessary roughness... meaning they took it a step too far.

American football got its name fron shape of ball. And to be honest, American football came 1st according to Google. In soccer, Scotland and England played Nov. 30th, 1872 in what FIFA recognizes today as the 1st official match up. The 1st American football match was played on Nov. 6th, 1869, making American football the 1st one invented between the 2. So, in my opinion, I'm going to keep calling American version football, and the other soccer.

@@Vip3R-R Well that means that America still got its name first.

Most of these hits are perfectly legal tackles. Concussion is obviously the most obvious injury. And serious injuries are "common" in a sense there are usually like 4-8 players in the whole league that will miss several games from serious injuries. And then you have the severe which is miss the rest of the season injuries, those are quite rare to see in modern football. And we don't just watch this, we play it starting at like 6 or 7 lol. Sometimes before.

This might be a little confusing for you since you watch soccer but there will be no one getting tapped on their leg and falling down like they've been shot and faking injuries all over the field. Also the score won't end 0-0 after an indeterminate amount of boring time watching people just sort of run back and forth a lot

It's different if you watch a game through, this doesn't happen all the time.

Gridiron is the another name for this sport. Sounds more badass too lol.

You gotta be a special type of man to play this...a special kind of crazy.(Speaking from experience)

Canadian football is just as rough, there is plenty of CFL action in this video as well.

Doctors have compared an NFL-level tackle to being in a 35mph car accident. The average NFL player is 6'2" and 244 pounds overall.

In the 90's I was hit and hit people like that. It was before rule changes and I never played past high school. Yes, there was no feeling like laying someone out but also no feeling like getting laid out. It wasn't a game, it was war. Now it's alot safer and alot of these clips are absolutely illegal now.

In North American Football....the players on both teams are tackling and blocking each other from advancing toward scoring...depending on the position they play. So at the beginning of the video the player you saw running and thought was going to block the player ahead of him, he wasn't...the player you thought was hit illegally, was the one that was running toward his teams end zone to get ahead and open to catch the ball the quarterback is to throw to him on his way to score a goal....In our football, it is full contact where the defense physically battle to stop the offense from having possession of the ball and advancing to the end zone to score, and the offense is physically fighting them back and away from stopping their progress or stealing the ball in some way. These tackles are clean , no dirty hits or are fouls....we don't have red cards or cards of any kind to represent a penalty foul, the referees throw small "flags" to indicate a foul was committed during the play. But this kind of physicality is the game itself really.

The black-and-white footage at around 3:35 shows a face-mask penalty. There was a very brief period after the introduction of the mask when grabbing it was not illegal, I think, but that is extremely rare. And is most definitely a penalty Now.

You should have seen it back in the 60s and 70s . After the tackle, if runner didn't get up right away, he would be stomped on by the defense.

This is Football! And they start from a very young age!

I'm guessing you can understand why we laugh when people accuse us of being weak because we wear pads and a helmet lol.

Some of the best WWE stars were high school, collage, or NFL players. Goldberg, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the Rock Dwayne Johnson. Goldberg signature move was the spear a football tackle where you fly through the persons midsection.

We start playing at about 6-7 years old violence but controlled 😊😊😊

welcome to American football

React to the 2021 Bills vs chiefs divisional round highlights It was one of the greatest games of football ever

Several sports are types of football. Rugby, Gridiron (American and Canadian), Australian, Gaelic, not just Association. They all descend from Medieval Football which had few rules. At 1:29 that hit was probably legal. I can't tell if he hit the guy in the head (illegal) or in the shoulder (legal). Grabbing a player by his face mask, or the helmet opening is illegal. That wasn't just the NFL, there was some CFL (Canadian Football), College Football, High School and pee-wee. 5:27 is currently illegal. There is an unnecessary roughness penalty in the sport. Red Cards aren't a thing in American Football, though a player can get ejected. The closest think we have to a yellow card is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, you get ejected if you get two in one game. Closest we have to a red card is targeting in College Football, which is a 15 yard penalty and an ejection, or fighting. If you want to know more about the sport check out Ninh's Rules of American Football. It covers the basics. Also College Football and College Basketball are big here. There are videos about traditions in College Football on KZread.

the suplex like tackle isn't illegal, and he was "smacking" the quarterback (the player that throws the ball )

1892 American Pro FootBall‼️

Yeah so next time you say soccer players are tougher remember this moment big dog that’s real football son!!!!

🇺🇸 let’s goo!! It is forsure a sport they get paid 100s of millions to play the game they love just as much as any other sport. The players love the hits as well

It's a hard man's sport. They get paid tens of millions of dollars for this game.

This is why we have such disdain for soccer. While soccer players flop after being looked at the wrong way, football players celebrate big hits and are encouraged to get back up and keep fighting.

We have disdain for soccer because its a low skill activity, no throwing or catching skills and kicking a ball into a large net you're standing in front of isn't very impressive.

Welcome to the NFL, its one of the big four sports we have here. The others are MLB, NBA and NHL, and don't forget college football, it's bigger than the NFL. The 15 biggest stadiums are all college.8 are over 100K. a few suggestions MLB 15 longest home runs NFL here comes the boom NBA best slam dunks NHL glass-breaking moments.

"Are we playing WWE"... Nah this is REAL. Some of this stuff you cant do anymore (facemask and some of the QB or defenseless receiver hits). But this is mostly the game. Try to hold the ball until you get to the end. The other guys... try not to let you get to the end.

This is why they get paid millions and I mean millions

Multiple things can have the same name. American football is not fake.

Football is distinctly American. Soccer is our fifth rated sport.

Qbs getting receivers killed

yes, the player that was pulled down by the face mask on his helmet , that is definitely not allowed and will draw a penalty.

lol the difference between WWE and American Football is Football isn't staged and fake.

Now you know why football players are called Gridiron Gladiators, because this is the closest thing you are gonna see to actual gladiators fighting in the arena

"At least 500lbs... how is that a sport??" That clip answers your own question. When you see broken-field running that powerful, that is why they hit that hard. THAT (at 5:48) was a form-tackle. You should be told that the play has to be ended with contact, i.e. the ball carrier has to be hit by the opposing team (or driven out of bounds) for the play to end. And they must make contact with the ground. A knee or higher body part must touch the Earth to be "down". And calling that man "unathletic" was uncalled for. Stop comparing this to "wrestling".

They wear helmets and padding because when they play they go to war but, Fortunately or “unfortunately” for us fans most of this hits and tackles are now “illegal” but they still do it and in the United States this game is a Religion just like “soccer” is for the rest of America now go and watch #52 Ray Lewis greatest hits…Go Ravens!!
