"pre season" is such a joke. Lets go get injured for some games that "don't count" except in ad revenue. I GET it.. but it sucks. Just extend the freaking season and do away with this nonsense.
no, it's football, it's been called football here for ~100 years. you have your football too, please enjoy it as much as we enjoy our football.
Our football started in 1841, however I just like ribbing you yanks about your particular version of football, with all the players dressed up in protective gear :P

Aussie Rules is a brutal event. How many players are concussed a week?
It's pretty brutal, however I think serious injuries only happen every second week

To be honest I never watch the pre-season. It's mostly for the newer players vying for their respective spots, tune-up games that don't matter to the viewer. Same with the probowl, these are irrelevant games to me.

Light ribbing aside, I say don'tk knock it until you've donned the protective gear and taken a few snaps and gotten hit by a 300 lb freight train in cleats.

i'm just messin with ya too, our guys are pretty tough though, even with the protective gear. we're just now learning about the large amount and severity of concussions for instance. it is a very brutal sport. i think the style of hitting is different from rugby, which may help explain the difference in uniforms. i'm sure our vast # of sports attorneys also helped advance gear requirements.
