I know Nigeria is all about soccer, but i think that the impact of American Football would be profound.
American Football should be worldwide!!

Compared to soccer, American football is a very rough, dangerous and complicated game. What makes you think Nigeria is ready for it right now, considering the fact that Nigerians follow European soccer but not American football?

nigerians are hungry, american football will kill us

American Football is a very entertaining sport and is not for the feeble minded. Although Soccer is well known, it is not as captivating and i hope to popularize it.
Football is the greatest sport of all time in my opinion!!

efani is living in denial

Denial? Definitely!

y'all dont know $hit lol. I used to like soccer and i still do but Football is da $hit!!
Do u even kno what i'm talkn about u soccer crazed fans!!!

if u dont believe me watch this clip

Nigerian parents dont really like their kids playing[i] football [/i]  talk-less of American Football

efani its not a matter of knowing ish. its more about being skillful, being creative and not playing by the book. which is wat football is playing by the book. a QB cannot improvise and if he does its like 1ce in his whole career. in soccer there are tactics too and players have to follow tactics but if ur coach says"direct free kick" and the players notice lack of focus in their opponent, they can ditch they coaches choice, catch their opponents off guard and get a vital goal from wat would have otherwise been somewat of a waste cos most likely the ball would have been blocked by someone.

i love football. i can't wait for the season to begin. anyway it is kinda around the corner. Nigeria really needs to start playing the game. i used to be a fan of soccer but i was so surprised, on sunday, i tried to watch a soccer match on television and i was so surprised i couldn't even sit down and watch it for 5minutes because i found it boring, they were kinda just running after the ball. but in football, there is a lot of action n you feel involved in the game. the special teams, offense, defense, you know, a lot is happening on the field, the punting, quaterback throwing the ball in a spiral manner for 50 or more yards, i mean, it is just da bomb!!!!

@efani, i watched the clip, most of those tackles has been banned from the nfl or they would definitely draw a flag. they were tackling the quater backs n most players by their helmet. as for this year's season, the nfl is banning players from celebrating their touch downs. they were like the players show off alot, which i don't quite agree with. i know some pllayers have issues such as Terrell owens, but i mean, what is a football game without those flamboyant touchdown celebration

american football is crap

@ East coast
i'm so glad there's someone here that understands. I used to be a die-hard soccer fan too and now i cant watch it. Foot ball is a lot more interesting than soccer. i really wanna thank u for ur input lol
I got a scholarship to play for Memphis State Univ. so i hope u cum c me wen the season starts lol
luk for number 28, safety.

@ Deejay
I respect ur opinion, thats da way i felt too 4real till i started playing in my 8th grade year and now I cant live withoug it.
I dont have time to convince u so jus absorb yourself in ur ignorance

@ must a far
if u watch football, u would know that theres a lot of QBs that improvise and change plays jus by reading the defense. like terry bradshaw, peyton manning, michael vick(the greatest) e.t.c
Apparently u dont so i'll jus leave it that u dont know what u r talking about

@efani
wow! that is so kool, i really love football. i would definitely like to watch you play. hopefully i could watch you on TV. which positiong do you play? i really like wide recievers. anyway, Don't blame the rest for not liking football, it is because they don't understand, if otherwise they won't be talking the way they are. football is a very interesting n fun game. my favorite teams are the redskins, colts, broncos and of course everyone becomes a fan of the winning superbowl team the steelers. .

and by the way, quater backs improvise. they got their own way of making things work, u know, rushing for a first down etc. different strokes for different folks. i like peyton manning but he needs to get his team to the super bowl coz that is what the game is all about, it isn't enough to just make the off season and then lose,

i like american football too. But i don't think Nigeria is ready for it. or Nigeria even wants it. The risk of concussions is to much.

Free Safety
no. 28

i didn't even see it in your other post. that is kool. i am on the look out. D-fence

when we never chop belle full
dis one na physical game o
and dnt even expect to get sponsorship for it o!

we cant even invest good money in our local leaque not to talk of one wey no get that much popularity!
na license to grave jare

lol @ viee. I tried watching the last super bowl and I dosed of half way through. Its boring to me.

Give me one good reason why Nigerians shld be interested in a game called American Football?The game was created and is for Americans.It's only seriously played in America.It's not even half as interesting as volleyball,talkless of Soccer.It's like saying Nigerians shld start using Fahrenheit temperature measurement just because Americans do.Bullshit!

If u don't live in the states you'll never like or watch it. Its american and nigerians are raised and live on soccer so it aint gon happen. I couldn't stand it when i first got here either, and soccer lost its hold on me in 2000, now its football 24/7,Falcons all day.

America has taken away everything from us. Now na football remain. How can you call a game where the foot is only used seldomly "football". If that is the case, handball should be called football too. Please my brethren, don't let Americans run your lives from afar. Rather than them export sports to us, why can't we export sports to them?

In any event, the day we start playing American football, na im b say world don finish b dat. Not to mention, our bodies in Nigeria aren't made for American football - due to all d garri wey we dey chop, we are built from the waste down, as opposed to the typical American athlete who lifts weights and is built from the waste up.

Make una no fall for am o!

Its nt in our blood.

It will be difficult to see guys having passion for the game here in Nigeria.

Very difficult indeed

Nigeria doesn't have what it takes to participate in American football.
The sport is very rough and the medical facilitis in Nigeria are very poor. So i think that's what would discourage the players from participating in it.

i remember when i was in nigeria.My father use to send me video games, Dididnt really understand american football until i got to watch the dallas cowboys play.The game is kinda interesting, and it aint that complicated @seun, no offence , but i now find soccer boring these dayz, just enjoy watching its highlight cos i just cant stand watching the ball being tossed around no more, i prefer watching baseball,basketball and ooh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa footballl, football season starts in sept, Go dallas cowboys, we gonna win the SUPER BALL, go oWENS!!!

I watched dem once and for me it sucks


Soccer iz da best
