Maybe, but I hate it. In fact I hate every code of football that isn't 'soccer'. Let's see why: Rugby League: VERY little kicking involved, mainly it involves running a yard, getting tackled, getting up then running again. Only kicks are after the 5th tackle; even then they usually only bunt it. Rugby Union: Same as league, only more violent AFL: Same as Rugby league only in shorter shorts. Okay, there's actually a fair bit more kicking involved but still way too much hand contact on the ball American Football: Very much the same as league, only you can throw FORWARDS as well, making it even less skillfull and even more about running into the other player These codes should NOT be called football. If anything they should be called 'handball with a little kicking involved'!!! The reason I like soccer is that it is athletic and skillful, it requires people trying to outmanouvre the other person, not just land on top of him. That said, the recent epidemic of 'dive taking' and 'fake injuries' really does harm the sport, I agree. Such a thing is against the spirit of fair play sports are based on. Besides, though I mock the other codes, it's alot harder to get a foul playing them, THAT'S for sure. I agree though it's also funny when watching american football. If you compare the college players with the NFL players, you'll see that the NFL players hit like little b!tches compared to the college guys who will kill anyone who comes right in front of them. I guess it's cause they don't wanna injure star players so they can do advertisements and stupid sh!t like that.
