The same can be said about football, it's not just getting the ball down the field either. I think what makes soccer a challenge is controlling and passing the ball with it your feet. Now that does require great skill and I'm not taken that away from any player however there are also skills in football as well that I don't believe any man can just obtain. This is why football is largely dominated by Blacks.
Up to 3% of England is black descent yet 25% of the football (soccer) league is made up of black descent individuals at one point up to 40% of the English national team. Mainly of African & Caribbean descent.

Men of these recent football (soccer) torments
UEFA Champions League 2012: Didier Drogba, from Ivory Coast.
Euro 2012:''Mario Balotelli'', Italian of Ghanian descent.

So clearly blacks could dominate football (soccer).

<quoted text>Really ? Whats your definition of an athelete ? These 500 pound men you speak of make up 5 positions out of 22. Recievers, running backs, linebackers, defensive ends, tight ends, safetys, quarter backs, these are not atheletes ?
i think they call those "skill" positions

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill_position

wiki separates kickers though Lol.. technically isn't that a skill position too?

If a 500 pound men can play the sport then it does not need a lot of athleticism. In soccer all 22 players on the field are able to perform every single task that each position requires.

Not really, quarter backs and fullbacks are mostly whites but most position are dominated by blacks. Running backs, wide receivers, corner backs, defensive ends and so many others.

I never said Blacks couldn't dominate soccer. I'm saying blacks dominated football because we are good athletes thus football require some good athleticism even tho you guys disagree.

Thats because every single position in soccer requires similar tasks, thats not the case in football. Look, I fully understand that it takes a tremendous amout of skill to play soccer at a high level, but you're not giving football players any credit, some of the best atheletes in the world are football players, you cant say that about soccer players.

Check this out. Roberto Carlos, scientist are still trying to figure out how he score this goal. It defies all physics theory.

It depends. If it's an illegal tackle then it will obviously hurt. You shouldn't be tackling anyone like a headbutt.
You're suppose to grab them by the waist and then drop to their calves or ankle to make them fall down like a tree.
If you've ever played, then you should know that is a fantasy.

It is supposedly ''Athletically demanding'' yet they break every 15 minutes!!!
I remember doing the whole 45 minutes + 45 minutes + 15 minutes + 15 minutes = 120 minutes (full match + extra time) as a kid and this was after more than 60 minutes exercise prior. That is double the average American Football match length.
They constantly break because it is so physically demaning or else the players will run out of breath!

Why do American Footballers wear protective gear if contact is not allowed?
False. In football (soccer) you have strikers, midfielders & defenders, each play their part. So it is not just ''only goal is to get the ball down the field''.
Man soccer is for weak dudes so please just get over it.

Virgo

Matters of the heart take an unexpected turn today. You might be strongly attracted to someone you've never looked at twice until now, or you could fall for someone who's much older or younger than you. If you're already involved in a relationship, either you or your partner will want to make it more exciting and spontaneous. Is this a suggestion that will go down well?
