Every year, the arrival of the first NFL game in London brings with it some sort of strategic news leak aimed at goosing interest in American football.

No, it means football is incredibly physically and mentally demanding and it’s literally impossible to recover and implement a gameplan in less than the week.
There’s a reason there has never once in the history of the sport been high quality execution on a non-opener Thursday night game or a single international game. The entire schedule of a full week is necessary to play anything resembling NFL football, which is already heavily compromised by the obscene limitations on practice time.
Bucs falcons right now is literally proving you wrong.
Sounds like hype to me.
Rugby is far more physically and mentally challenging.
And it doesn’t require rubber padding because the players know how to take down other people.
This is a clearly idiotic hate boner for football from someone who doesn’t even have a rudimentary understanding of it.
Go away.
No, its just a sport and when people try and talk them up as some sort of super athletes that are doing incredible things you don’t see in other sports I’ll knock that right down.
Sports are different.
If you ask someone to box at a world class level once a week for 4 months, the best case scenario is severe and permanent brain damage. The most likely outcome is that they literally die.
Based upon this conversation, I can tell you dont even know what other sports are.
And thats fine, but FYI NFL Football is not the only sport where people run around a field and smash bodies together, while having to think of game plans and strategies.
Flying to a different country to play these sports doesn’t destroy their capabilities.
Foreign fixtures being unpopular is different to players are unable to play if they have to travel.
You just don’t understand basic physics if you think there are other sports that aren’t actual combat sports that are remotely comparable in impact to football. Rugby doesn’t have comparable high speed impacts on a regular basis.
In terms of the strategy, very few sports have the discrete, precise play calling strategy that football does. Every sport has small picture tactics and broad strokes strategy. Football still has the small picture rule based decisions that are the bread and butter of most sports. But they’re unique to each individual play call, change 70 times per game, and are completely different from week to week.

Hockey exists btw.
Another great example.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
