how many teams are in the canadian football league, if there is one?

i know a little about canadian football its ok i guess,but american football pwns ass i mean just watch a game with 2 high powered air attacks or in last years playoffs the steelers,vs,titans for some smash-mouth football,HELL I SAW PLAYERS TRYING TO BREAK EACH OTHER IN HALF

The reason football players where padding is to prevent broken shoulders and sternums. That's where all of the padding is located.
Try slamming into a 250 pound, 6'5" dude at full force without padding.
Rugby players aren't so big, so they don't need such padding. And they don't slam into each other with such tremendous force. It hurts WITH padding often times.
American Football for me. But guess what, I'm American :P
And Bux, you spelled pussies wrong *cough*.

Its your poor spelling dude I'm English and thats how we defenitly don't spell it. Yes TSL3 you have a point but try grabbing like a 6'2 Man from behind while he has studs about l__l long they go into pepole we pull each other to the floor slam each other :l

Well if you want to know why american football is the best sport in the world.Its because its 100% american,screw baseball its a south american sport,and basketball is chinese for the most part,but unlike every other sport in the world,american football is made by americans,played by americans,and made for americans.If american football gos to england,or mexico,hell even canada it will become boreing and un-watchable to like 50-75% of americans.see how poor what the rest of the world calls "football"and how much americans think it sucks?

Actually hits are harder in American football.

More complexity in American Football.

And I personally like plays, not people running around the whole time.

So I'm saying I like American Football better, but I do like rugby too. Rugby is basically what backyard football is, and that is a lot of fun.

And can't we all agree that both are better than soccer?

Well thats true,soccer is by far the worst sport ever. Bty if you got hate mail for me,send it.Im not scared of anyone.

American Football is more exciting in rugby you just run around get hit and kick the ball. In football you have desinged plays and rugby is exactly like backyard football as Bronze said

Not all americans think it sucks... I'm not american but I'm 100% sure of that. You should be more open-minded to other things. Not everyone shares your view... in my opinion, I HATE the NFL.

i don't enjoy the NFL because of what it has become over the years, but the NCAA (college american football) is absolutely fucking orgasmic.

as a whole, i love the game of american football. it is amazingly fun to play, as we made it completely different from rugby. there's much more tactics in american football.

I agree completely with German, the only reason I watch the NFL is to watch my favorite college players.

College Football also has many schemes and plays you would never seen used in the NFL and the feeling of tradition that comes with college football just makes it so much better than anything the NFL has.

Rugby players aren't so big, so they don't need such padding. And they don't slam into each other with such tremendous force. It hurts WITH padding often times.

Rugby players are just as big. I play rugby and I'm 6 foot 4.

There are no rules on hitting less hard in rugby. We would hit just as hard as you would in american football. We don't wear so much padding because we have different rules. You do because you throw yourselves at the player when you tackle. We have to be able to get up again because rugby is a much faster game.
