2 things you always hear from brits who are not educated about american football-

1. why is it called football when they don't kick the ball, use their feet, etc.

2. why do those sissies wear all that protective gear.

facts:

1. the highest scoring players in football are the kickers. In fact, the top scoring position in the history of football is the kicker- by far. Moreover, the game is started with a kickoff, whenever a touchdown is scored a kick adds an extra point and each change of possession involves kicking the ball to the other team.

2. The highest numbers of sport-related injures are reported for basketball (409,799), football (376,115) and bicycling (317,041)

Where does soccer rank? Even though soccer players wear virtual no protection, soccer is ranked 14th of the 15 most-injury prone sports.

cheerleaders suffer more injuries than soccer players.
