football americano is el softo.
its all about putting those massive pads and helmets into a low position and driving into another player.
other tackling sports have to do that AND be aware that coz theres no protection, you might come off second best..especially if you dont get it quite right.
i dont think the NFL hit was that special as he simply timed his hit to coincide with a receiver who had just opened himself up for a pass- so was completely vulnerable.
the ones to applaud are those where the player with the ball is ready for the hit- and still gets smashed.
