Is football a mans sport?

You can try but I doubt you'll make it.  There are 250 lbs. men out there who have one thing on their minds, and thats knocking the nearest opposing player on his/her ass.  The sport is way too physical for a woman.

Yes, indeed. Since you only need a ball to play, football soccer trascends race, social status, religion, and economic power. In addition, to become a player one needs not have any special physical characteristics such as height, weight, or body frame. \nVirtually anybody in any place can play, even in places that were not designed to play football, such as hallways, parking lots, or even on roads.

Thats why most guys dont think its a sport\nso yes i think it is a sport

Because men like to watch sports where the guys have time to stand around and scratch.  Soccer is a fast moving sport (not usually high scoring...another thing guys hate) but there is a lot of action.  Females don't care much for inactivity as it equals boredom.  I also love soccer.  I love the constant motion with very few breaks in the aciton.  Here is a rundown on most sports as I see them:\n\nbaseball - NO action unless player hits ball\nfootball - most of the time moves only 10 yards every hour\nbasketball - too many time outs and what fun is it to watch a game where the guys are all so tall that there is NO challenge getting the ball in the hoop...they just walk up and drop it in\ngolf - boring!  takes 10 minutes to decide to hit the ball, hit the ball, then walk for another 10 minutes, repeat

I coach women and girls football and some of the players are very very good but alas there is not the funding yet so it is still taking a back seat.\nsome of the other answers you have been given show there are a lot of sexist idiots out there, who have obviously never been to a female football match!

American football is not for wimps, its for utter pansies. The hits in rugby are comparable to the hits in American football. however what is this special teams stuff, once your on the pitch stay on the pitch. Until you've laid on the wrong side of a ruck in rugby you will never know just how soft American footballers really are. There are a few differences with equipment as well, the body Armour used in American football, bloody hell why all that padding? where are they playing Baghdad?. and they certainly don't wear huge studded, hardened toe capped boots. so there you have it. Rugby is a game for men of enormous stature and bravery, and American football is played by the male equivalent of a 5 year old girl. PS. murder ball is the only true game!

Well dear the  male ego is the drive that consumes all of us to a degree. \nWe feel very passionate about sports and when someone challanges the passion you have to defend it. SO, in closing let me say yes we do fight more than women, and it isn't always about sports

um, NO...The US has begun a prowomens football league.  They wear all the padding and helmets and play just like the "big boys" do.\n\nhttp://www.womensprofootball.com/

I do think alot of people think it is a guys game....I went to football tryouts in school and chose not to play. I just wanted to make a point...that girls can play if they really want.(and i am a small girl)

Soccer IS Football. Football IS Soccer.

No, sport is a direct competition of fastest, strongest, and other physical activities. Not who can lie the best, not who looks the prettiest as in other sports. Sport should have to be something that you sweat for.

It's the same as football without the tackling. Don't worry about playing it, its' really easy. The way you're down in flag football is if someone grabs the falg off of you. Which is around you're waist, so the only thing you should be worried about is a guy or 2 accidently touchin&#92;g ur butt going for the flag. don;t worry, it's really easy.
