As I understand it, delays are actually naturally built in to the rules of American Football? Seems they actually stop running about doing the actual sport part or actually doing anything strenuous every few minutes, then they get their breath back, kick the ball down the field a bit?
Oh, the rest of the world just thought it was cos your players were a bunch of little girls.
Well done for setting the record straight.

i guess i misunderstood your comment about protective equipment and just playing the game then.
no, football isn't stopped every few minutes, as you suggest.
not sure what the rest of the world thinks of football players.
either way, perhaps i misunderstood the gist of this thread you started, but it appeared to be a sarcastic commentary on the sport, which is fine, no offense taken, americans can laugh at ourselves.
but it remains that rugby isn't strictly "football" either and it's also played with an egg-shaped ball.
