Yes very much so... especially when 11 men all whom bench well over 400lbs are trying to rip it out your hands... But then again... only being able to use your feet is very competitive 
First of all... who told you that soccer you only allowed to use your foot?
I believe you need to be very skilled to control a ball not using your hands, if you disagree, you must be really stupid.
American football who watch that crap? Americans only.
Soccer who watch that The rest of world.
Again what to expect from people , that could not learn the metric system.
Oh yeah... another thing only used in America, Imperial System.
