I'm sure there are tough football players, but guys like this just make them look like the biggest pussies in sports

[–]Solsken -20 ポイント-19 ポイント

I'm not going to disagree with you over how ridiculous this is, but most of the time the people who say "soccer" players in general are pussies watch American football where dudes wear armour and helmets. I mean, that is ridiculous.

EDIT: Lulz at the butthurt under here. Guys, the point was that it's stupid to define an entire set of sportspeople by the actions of the few. it's all good to call "soccer" players pussies, but then when someone brings up the idea of wearing armour to protect themselves is a way so they don't get hurt (ie; the whole fucking point of wearing armour) it all goes out the window. Honestly, watch a fucking rugby game or Australian football game where they do essentially the same thing without armour and get over the butthurt of the armour thing. I never said armour shouldn't be used, the whole point is that it's stupid to define an entire group as pussies based on one factor of a sport/sportsperson - The exact reason why I'm getting downvoted for saying armour is for pussies. If you can't see that, well, too bad.

But in soccer they don't smash into eachother. If you see some of the big hits, you'll see why they wear armour/armor.

Why the fuck do people refer to it as "armour"?

  1. That word is spelled armor.

  2. Have any of you played football? All you wear is a helmet so you your skull doesn't get bashed in and some plastic pads that cover your shoulders and part of your chest. That's it. It's not like they're in a fucking suit of armor.

Real world example: Under Armour.

It's spelled armour for everywhere in the world but the US.

This is a Murican site. Seriously though it is.

[–]Solsken -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

Just like in rugby, yeah?

And Navy SEALs wear body armor and helmets. In all of the above examples, defensive precautions are commensurate with the risk involved in the activity.

Soccer players don't need protective equipment. Football players do - and still face far more serious risks than soccer and rugby players.

Did you not click the link? Soccer players face ear flicking. I'd like to see a football player survive that with their padding!

[–]Solsken -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

I wasn't comparing the physicality of football vs a military force. That would be stupid. And no, they don't face more risks than rugby union or rugby league players. or probably Australian football players.

LOL, okay. And accounting is more dangerous than coal mining.

[–]Solsken -4 ポイント-3 ポイント

I'm guessing you've played and watched both sports too, right? Yeah, nah. I don't know why people like you even bother with that argument. For real.

[–]throwmeawayname 1 ポイント2 ポイント

It IS ridiculous that American football players would wear such padding. I mean, what pussies right? 200+lbs of trained muscle charging at you full speed with the sole purpose of taking you out play after play, they need to take that shit like a man! Who cares if people literally DIED from this physical punishment before they instituted helmets and padding be mandatory. Even today, where deaths and serious brain injuries happen in helmet-to-helmet contact....RIDICULOUS! We shouldn't coddle these players. They pale in true athleticism in comparison to "soccer", which is man's game!

[–]Solsken -4 ポイント-3 ポイント

I know, like rugby players, amirite?

It's ridiculous to call an entire set of sportspeople pussies when most of the people who claim is follow a sport where guys are wearing fucking armour. It's that simple.

[–]Hennashan 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Soccer players are pussies. Why do you keep comparing rugby to football when comparing pussies? Most people don't think rugby is for pussies. It's slow and more sluggish then the nfl. They don't hit as much as the NFL. And there deff not bigger or even faster then nfl players. But they aren't pussies either.

[–]MusicMagi 1 ポイント2 ポイント

They also sustain life-altering injuries through all that armor

[–]Hennashan 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Rugby or Australian football aren't nearly as strong or fast as NFL players and for the most part don't play "plays" where they get to catch there breath and formation up. Instead there just jogging around a field sluggishly and not al full speed like in the nfl.

And comparing rugby athletes to nfl athletes is laughable. NFL has some of the most physical freaks the earth has ever created. The peak of physical athleticism is in the NFL. Most nfl hits would be penalties in rugby.
