you are correct. Unlike our friends in western Europe, American football players ,Never stop even injured we can will and DO go back into play. You are considered a weak man if you stay on the side line like a baby crying over a paper cut. I played with broken fingers , knee injuries ( which required surgery AFTER the end of the season , several stiches above the eyes ) It paid for my college and I ,Unlike so many got a degree where i could make a good living when I got out.

I think this is why we are so sad when we play our last game be it in Highschool or professional. There is no equivalent to the game outside of playing it in full pads and that is because it's both to expensive to do recreationally and I think it may even be illegal to do without it being sanctioned in some way. Sports like basketball, baseball, hockey, rugby and soccer can be played recreationally much closer to the professional version. But American Football, there is to much gear, to much strategy, to much coaching, to many players needed to actually do it the way it is intended. I have seen no-pad football leagues and that is awesome and I love seeing them play, but it's still very different from the real deal.

@@lsfranchi exactly. The NFL has had a new concussion protocol since 2014 or so. An independent doctor not associated with the team or league monitors players on the field for concussion like symptoms. They have access to sensors inside the players helmets that sense hard impacts and collisions to the helmet. If a player exhibits concussion like symptoms, they are immediately placed into the concussion protocol and are forced to leave the game, and will most likely miss next weeks practice and sometimes the next game.

Hey everyone!! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus! Hallelujah! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!!✝️

Most of the football players got right back up and continued playing. If the players were down on the ground for to long, medics would run into the feild to do a quick diagnosis, then take the player off the feild for further evaluation during the next play (it is required for they player, that had to be evaluated on the feild and has no physical injurues or concussion, to come off the field for one play. They can then be brought back into the game if they exhibit no signs or symptoms of an obvious physical/ mental injuries).

I played club rugby for 10 year, senior reserve grade and one year senior A's and it was great fun. All amateur of course. I lived in America for a year once and I enjoyed watching Football. What I noticed is the difference in culture around sports. In NZ most males and now women can play rugby in winter and cricket in summer and most of it is amateur status.In the states however it's more professional and I absolutely understand and respect that. In America Football is part of the national identity and what make's it uniquely theirs. In NZ, Australia, South Africa and all the home nations of the UK, rugby is a throwback to empire. I still love my rugby, it's a huge international sport. However I might watch the odd Football game.

[@clayzimmerman3318]

The 2nd hit where you said "he did a backflip" was Kenny Bell. He was a wide receiver for University of Nebraska. I watched it live. It was a clean hit but we still got flagged for it. The NCAA ended up creating the "kenny bell rule" because of it.

[@bmbjumpshot6729]

It was not a clean hit, hence why he got flagged. Can’t hit a defensive player like that.

[@clayzimmerman3318]

[@theyetirulrs]

It’s even scarier when you realize these players are some of the most perfect physical specimens mankind has to offer. I was on an nfl practice squad and these guys hit like a ton of bricks!

[@kylethekidable]

For real, many of these guys, when speaking on strength/speed/agility are the genetic elite and top 1% of man kind in that regard. Mix with that the fact that many of them used or still use some kind of PEDs, not hating but it's just a rarely talked about thing that is still very much in play these days, and you get 270 lb guys able to outrun highschool and college track sprinters and who can pick one buddy on the team and flip your car without a ton of effort. Absolute monsters.

[@a3gill]

We were taught to wrap up just like Rugby, but it becomes tougher as speed increases in higher levels. Also, the ball carrier doesn't want to be tackled so they are lowering their head and shoulders and initiating contact and the defense has to compensate. A lot of times it results in what you are seeing, but these hits are really rare.

[@vct454]

American here, I've been a huge football fan for about 25 years. Another thing people from other countries might not realize is that they train specifically for explosiveness. Since the play isn't continuous like rugby or soccer, they don't have worry as much about endurance and they can focus on just building up raw strength. There was a running named Chris Johnson that challenged Usain Bolt to a 40 yard foot race, and Bolt declined because he wasn't trained for shorter distances. And they did a sports science show that determined Usain Bolt would have actually lost even though he has a higher top speed over longer distances.

[@rickmurillo6857]

CJ2K would have lost that race I bet.

[@chuckfiero]

@@rickmurillo6857 Can you call him cj2k He did it once in his career and declined after that. Though he did still have 6 years of 1000+ yards. He probably would have won that race in the 40, now the 400 he would have been destroyed.

[@kennethwimer8130]

Love you guys. Played Football in High School, and loved the contact sport. Rugby is a bit tame, but more running, less collisions. That video only showed the most violent tackles, most are no where near that violent.

Could be totally wrong....However, Rugby players seem to be better sportsman. Most Americans know football can get pretty nasty.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Ya see basically in rugby u know where the hit is coming from because of the offside rules. In American football once the play is started there's no offside & u get many of the so called "blind side" hits at full speed.
