is not an outrageous comparison. both activities is ones in which the participants wore/wear protective garb to prevent, as much as possible, serious bodily injury. if football players could wear more protection w/o it detracting from their performance we would happily endorse such a thing. am not sure how the sport that requires less protective garb somehow gets considered more macho by lucius, but we guess that is the euro pov for you.
as to the enoch link...
*chuckle*
thanks

It is, one is war, the other is a sport in which the players stop everytime they've managed to run a short distance.
At any rate, I didn't say football was macho, or more so than American football, that was the little chorus of voices known as Gromnir who uttered those words. I just said I hardly find anything macho about the before mentioned players. The male-male buttslapping also deducts a few macho points btw.
Oh and I'd prefer if you'd call me a Scandinavian next time you wanna stereotype. )
