Current Events > Why football is the best sport

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's no other sport that is a territorial battle like football is. That's the simple answer.

The reason why probably leads back to the design of the football. No other ball of that size is thrown, caught, or held as easily as a football is. Which makes it perfect for a game whose object is to invade the other team's territory and eventually each their endzone (or kick a field goal through their goal posts).

tl;dr: football is the best sport

ironically also the most theatrical of all sports while cultivating the most toxic of masculinities.

I don't think American football is much more of a territorial battle than, say, rugby

You want a real mans sport, you play Buzkashi. The ball is a dead goat.

there are at least 2 other sports that are related to American Football. Australian Football and Rugby. and they probably have the same fight for territory. they are all similar

You could say the same thing about soccer (or hockey for that matter). However, the major difference is that football is much more ordered than soccer. Soccer is a free-for-all whereas football is organized into many individual plays, and as described earlier the shape of the ball is important too. The fact that you can hold and throw a football is important because hands have much more control than feet.

Rugby is like a combination of soccer and football and is much more chaotic in general, like soccer. Also not being able to throw forward passes in rugby is really important here. It lessens the player control greatly in rugby as opposed to football.
