    Well... they are American - so you have to make certain allowances.

    Look at how a lot of world-wide sports seem ONLY to be world-wide inside the borders of the USA

    And note how they play American football with gurly-gurl padding - just in case anyone gets ever so slightly hurt.

    American idiots. Just because of that.
