American football is intelligent? Compared to the real football which all the people in the world are intelligent enough to cherish outside the US.? Now give me a break! What does it tell that someone "intelligent-enough" guy up there thought one should call a game where the ball is mainly carried by hand or thrown with hand - and where you basically just ram on others with your body-weight - "football"? In real FOOTball it's penal to take the ball into one's hands or just punching others down.

Someone said that as long as football (not the American masked-violence) is the most favourite global sport the humanity has hope: slow game, pure tactics and aesthetics, maybe even goalless games - but the beauty, the skill, the drama, the eloquence of movement, the tactics, the love, the passion...

(Bah, I'm not that great a football fan, but couldn't resist that)
