Just like how many people refer to rugby as such instead of "Australian Football" because most of the time the ball is carried in the hand instead of kicked around like in football/soccer.
The only time the foot is used in American football is during a punt or attempting a field goal, thats it. Other than that it is carried around. Also the word "Gridiron" sounds cooler.
He then proceeds to pin you up against the wall with his veiny, muscular arms, looks you up and down with his ocean blue eyes and whispers in your ear comforting you, while he unzips you’re right jeans. He tells you that the economy is crumbling and he desperately needs your help. Roman Reigns declares you as ‘sus’ and labels you as the impostor. You desperately pleed innocence, adamant that you did the medbay scan and that green vented in electrical but Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoa'i, the professional wrestler, actor, and former professional gridiron football player better known as Roman Reigns simply does not believe you and so you are voted out for being among us sussy and the rest of your days are burdened by eternal torture and suffering.
National football league?
Nah
National Gridiron League
Because I'll be leaving my dorm in London and be staying in America this summer with relatives , chances are I won't be able to find a rugby club due to how quite obscure the sports is in the USA. And its gonna be a pain in the ass finding rugby balls as major store chains like Walmart don't sell them and even sports specific stores have very few in stock.
So with my fellow expat relatives and friends, can I use the gridiron style ball that is standard in North American football when we play? Or are the tiny differences a gamebreaker for playing under Rugby rules?
This game mode is incredibly fun. I recommend everyone try it before it goes away. Once you learn how to pass,(I still don’t know how to throw a spiral) it gets 10x better. Also, the concept of getting either 3 or 7 points takes games to the next level. It’s by far my favorite new mode added to date and NEEDS to be kept permanently by Psyonix.
The NFL should be more dangerous. Harder hits, gruesome tackles, and more general brutality will make the sport far more entertaining. It should be a strategy to hit quarterbacks (QBs) hard enough to strike fear into them. Teams should really be punished for failing to block or relying on weakling quarterbacks.
Obviously there should be some limits as to what's allowed. The game cannot be a pure melee, or it would lose all forms of structure. But we have to admit, the direction we are going is absurd. At this pace it will be flag football before we know it.
As things stand now, I think the NFL is making a mistake. They are catering to the loudest voices and ignoring what their fan base wants. If the game becomes too soft, there won't be a league much longer.
A few improvements could be made immediately:
- None of this roughing the passer/kicker nonsense. It's tackle football at the professional level for crying out loud.
- Helmet leading tackles and helmet to helmet hits should be allowed.
- There should not be any tackle outlawed for being "too hard" whatsoever. If the tackle is clean, who cares how hard it is?
Here are a few arguments I can anticipate:
- Fans won't like it, and the NFL is a business, so it should cater to them! First of all, I don't even think that's true. I think fans would like a more violent game, as it would be more entertaining. That's why there are no super popular flag football leagues. However, even if it's true, who cares? The NFL is a not for profit organization, it does not exist to make a damn profit. If ticket sales go down or whatever it can dip into its reserves to make up the difference. The league makes far more money than it spends and pays no taxes, if it pockets a little less, who cares? A slight financial sacrifice for a better product should be expected (nay demanded) from a not for profit organization. Same for the team owners. They all make absurd amounts of money, they can still be a sustainable business with a bit less revenue, and I honestly don't think revenues will decline that much anyway. I actually think they will go up
- Attack the QB and really hurt him? There will be fewer passing plays. Boooooring! Maybe, but I do think teams would evolve around this. Maybe there will be fewer passes overall, but the QBs that could do it consistently would be incredibly valuable and really fun to watch. Super athletic, able to dodge tackles and still make a pass, able to scramble, or just has an insane offen
How are people getting these Tom Brady-esque bullet spirals???

Everyone wants a chance to make a goal lmao
We all know that the real football is what americans call soccer. I mean it was invented first and is actually played with the foot and a ball. Not like the other that is played with an egg and the hands.
The fact that the football subreddit is called soccer and the gridiron subreddit is called football is an aberration.
