Seeing you guys so pumped is awesome. We love football, especially college football, which is surprising to most non-Americans. Eight of the ten largest stadiums in the world, and most of the list after that are American college football stadiums. And they are full of 100k fans eight weeks of the year. It's an event. Called "Tailgating', you arrive hours before the match and everyone grills out, has drinks, and plays games. You can wander from party to party, meeting people, drinking and eating, and having fun. After about four hours of this, you and a hundred thousand other people get treated to a spectacle with full marching bands, ceremonies and traditions, mascots, cheerleaders, local military units flying over the stadium. It's a huge thing. You should react to "Top College Football Traditions." Love your work!
And with that said, the loudest stadium in the entire world is our Arrowhead here in KC, roughly 77,000 fans and still loudest stadium in the world regardless of sport. You often leave a game having actual hearing damage.
University of Michigan has the largest stadium for college football 🏈. They, of course are my favorite team being from Detroit Michigan, which is about 1/2 hour away from Ann Arbor.
As the creator of modern football called it, “The moral equivalent to war.” It is brutal, but a truly beautiful game non the less when you have the full scope of it. The fans, the plays, the players, the stadiums, it is a sport like no other. It is truly one of a kind.
This is not really just NFL (professional). I’d guess that about 20-25 % of the games shown were college teams. There are about 6-8 showing high school games. And there are even peewee teams shown. Keep in mind that the equipment (mostly helmets and shoulder pads) are extremely hard plastic and serve as weaponry as well as protection.
It surprised me when I learned how popular American football is in other countries. I lived in Canada for years and quickly discovered NFL is more popular there than the Canadian Football League. I couldn't believe it when the NFL started holding games in London, England, but apparently the events are massive and pack the stadiums.
This isn’t my first time watching a reaction from you 2, but it is for sure my favorite so far!!! Your enthusiasm and positivity is very much appreciated.
7:22 "It is like standing in front of a train; you know the train is coming, and then you are still standing there just to catch a ball". EXCELLENT way to describe the situation, Par! I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. Both of you are very entertaining. Please keep up the great work!
The hitting and tackling was my favorite part of playing football. During practice I couldn't wait to get through warmups and the cardio so we could get into the tackling drills and scrimmaging.
I can’t remember which player it was, but there was an NFL player in an interview who was told he gets paid a lot to play a game. He said he plays for free, he gets paid to practice, his point was they all love the game, it’s the practice and conditioning that is the hard part
8:45 American Football has a concussion protocol. If you have a concussion or if a concussion is suspected, a player leaves the field and is checked out immediately.
These two are awesome. They seemed mortified at first but began to smile and get into it. The girl even began getting into the music and smiling. Thanks a million. You guys made me smile.
And to think, rules on tackling have gotten stricter and equipment improved over the years. It used to be even more brutal and there still are major injuries. You gotta really love the game to play it. Enjoyed your reaction! 🙏
Most of the hits shown were from a number of years ago. Once CTE - chronic traumatic encephelopathy was diagnosed fairly widespread through the league. Many "boom" type hits, especially to the head have been disallowed. Also, much stricter concussion protocols.
Also many of those hits were illegal even when they were made. I saw many players leading with the helmet and not the shoulderpad. That hasn't been allowed for quite a long time.
It’s all football, just different variations. American football, Rugby football, Australian rules football, Association football (soccer). By the way, a common misconception is that “soccer” is an American word for football. It’s not. The word is a shortening of “association football” and was coined in England to differentiate the then new style of football from other existing games which more resembled Rugby. It was introduced in America as soccer and the name stuck after the English started to just call it football.
It's also called soccer in Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Canada & New Zealand. Japan calls it "Sakka". I think it's called kick or kickball in a few area's of Asia. Italians nickname it Calcio.
I played Division 1 football for the University of Nevada. The Wolf Pack. I was really good in high school but college is an entirely different experience. The first practice in full pads my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe how big and explosive the offensive line was compared to high school. Not only were lineman 280 pounds or more but much quicker and stronger! It was like starting over again. Even though Nevada is a division 1 school it’s small compared to the giant programs like Alabama, Georgia, etc…. The players who make it to the NFL are beyond elite!
Funny that you mention that. When I was in school we had a running back that was decent (great for 1A in Texas), he went to a community college on a football scholarship. He was used to out running everyone in high school. He was telling us first practice he was all, "I'm gonna show these boys how it's done." Breaks through the line, open field in front of him, he gets tackled from behind. Gets up, it's a defensive lineman that chased him down from straight behind, no angle. He said he realized it was a completely different game at that point. Also played with a guy that went on to be on the offensive line of the Cowboys. That dude was huge. I remember when he started in kindergarten (I was in 1st grade). I still remember everyone going, "What did that 3rd grader do to get sent back to kindergarten?" He was 6'6" and 240 lbs in 7th grade. Took two people to tackle him, he'd literally swat the first guy out of the way with a forearm. Our coach had to call colleges to find gear big enough for him, and he had to play his first year in his normal shoes.
I loved playing football growing up. It truly grows you up quickly and separates the alphas from the rest of the pack. These kinds of hits are also commonly known as “Ooh hits” because they make the whole stadium go “Ooooooh!!!!”
I just wanted to comment on the "super slam". As both a wrestling fan and a (former) fan of the Atlanta Falcons: that was former safety William Moore, executing a perfect Oklahoma Slam. It was such a big moment as a fan, and there were videos made of wrestling announcer Jim Ross commentating the slam!
@3:12 there are not cards in American football. They do throw a yellow flag to show a penalty was made though. They stop play between each play and if your team gets penalty they move the ball closer to your endzone(end of the field where you score)
Now you know why we just laugh when Brits say we are a bunch of wimps for wearing all those pads. A Rugby player would last about five seconds out there. They are playing on Astroturf. It's like a concrete parking lot covered with indoor-outdoor carpet. You get hit by the opposing player and again by the Astroturf. :)
As a former player, former coach from youth football, high school football, semi-pro football and arena football....it's our way of life. Suit up for battle and bring the war. We start our kids playing this at age 8 and the lucky never have to stop. Another great sport to capture the American Man.... Bull riding
In high school, I was standing on the side line of a football game. Two of my friends were playing on opposite teams and came together on a tackle. I watched one of my friends hit my other buddy low and the leg of my friend getting hit was broken upon impact. After watching my friends collide like that, I went and joined the marching band.
People overlook that every year in every state there is at least one student football player that dies either in practice or a game. They don’t have the ambulance setting outside the end zone at games cuz it looks pretty. I have had four kids in marching band and three of them have a messed up knee from stepping wrong while marching.
You should react to NHL (National Hockey League) biggest hits of all time. I am sure Hockey would be something new for the both of you too. Thanks for the fun reaction video and cheers.
Love you guys! This reaction is great, it's very easy to become jaded to a lot of things in life, reactions from people of other cultures clears up one's perspective.
Several of these happened right in front of my seats. Most of these hits are legal. The one thing you cannot do (anymore) is helmet to helmet. The opening hit (the guy catching the kickoff and getting demolished) sent the stadium into a frenzy. We shook the building.
😂😂😂 All of the videos are from little kids, high school, college and professional football games. You guy should watch the best plays of the year. Start from 2010 to now. I would love to see your reaction to all of the years best plays in football
Football is my favorite sport I’m from Texas so it’s basically a religion here there’s one guy guy you have to check out that is one of the scariest players To ever play in the NFL his name is Lawrence Taylor
Love seeing reactions of people who have zero clue what Football is all about. I played O-line for 15 years and having been retired from the game for some time now it does take a toll on your body as you get older. Injuries include tearing my hamstring, dislocated jaw, rupturing my patellar tendon in my knee, and two herniated dics in my back. But if giving the opportunity to go back and do it all again.....DAMN RIGHT I would go and do it again.
If you’re interested there’s a huge issue of football players later in life. It ended up with a reform on the game cause so many players were getting concussion after concussion many were basically developing dementia like behavior in their 40s and such. I’m over generalizing it but the issues were real and severe and it caused them to redo and make the safety guidelines better. But no matter what when you have men that big and say three of them tackling one person..
My father played college football at Notre Dame, got drafted to go pro but only played in college to become an architect is what he told me. The game is hard on the players physically. my father learned that the hard way. Love your videos
Here in Washington State we had the Legion of Boom , the Secondary of the Seattle Seahawks in the early 2010s on their way to Superbowl winners a couple years later. We also have the MLS Seattle Sounders ⚽ playing in the same stadium.They just became the 1st American Team to win the CONCACAF League Championship. They will represent North America , Central America and the Carribbean in the World Cup. So US will have 2 teams competing in World Cup.
American football (AF) evolved from soccer and rugby. Think of Rugby players as 1500m runners and AF players as Sprinters. The first AF game was played in 1869 between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, using rules based on the rules of soccer at the time. AF is a violent sport. A 1905 peak of 19 fatalities nationwide resulted in a threat by President Theodore Roosevelt to abolish the game unless major changes were made; hence the padding. College AF is more popular than NFL. College AF stadiums have larger capacities than NFL; a number of them are 100k plus. Michigan stadium is the largest at 107,601 and it’s the second largest in the world. Despite the focus on ‘big hits’ it’s 75% strategic, like Chess.AF is the ultimate team sport; there are no yellow or red cards. If a player breaks the rules, the team is penalized. They are the greatest athletes in the world. You might want to take a look at ‘The Rules of American Football - EXPLAINED! (NFL)” by Nihn Ly.
This has been hands down the best reaction I have EVER seen to this video. American Football is a violent sport. That is why they wear so much padding. Glad y'all reacted to it.
I’m not a professional by any means, but my state is know for its football players. Hawaii has Samoans, Tongans, Hawaiians and many other big Polynesian. But when we and the boyz play. We don’t hold back and we’re not expecting the other team to hold back. For me it’s a matter of pride, respect and competition for the teams. A fire that pushes you to be incredible and being part of amazing group of people that are will standby you through it all. But than again what do I know
I'm from New England, but I went to the University of Hawaii at Monoa. I made some great Samoan friends as a resident advisor in a dorm with a ton of athletes. One day my car got "booted" by university police (even though it was legally parked). Before I ever knew it had been booted, my Samoan bros went out and yanked that locked boot off my car and threw it over the cliff behind the dorm! They meant well, but of course I then had to answer of the ticket AND the boot! I never told them that part though because they did it to show that they cared for me. I just couldn't imagine the strength involved. A couple of them went on the NFL
My High school team (in Alaska) won State my junior year, and for the first game of my Senior year (1992-92 school year) we played in Hawaii. They were the bigest guys (overall) I had ever played! I was offensive left tackle at 215 pounds, and our offensive line averaged 230. Their defensive line averaged 260! The hardest hit I ever recieved was in that game. A "little" (190 pounter) hit me blind side on a punt (like some of the hits in the video) and my arm was numb from the end of the first quarter until the beginning of the fourth! So no joke about polanesians. They are amazing in football. There was actually a Tongian who was 2 years younger than me at my high school who whent to the NFL (Mao Tofie). Unfortunately he only lasted about 4 years. He was a great player though.
"I don't think the helmet would save him." You're right. Many footballers suffer from multiple undiagnosed concussions because the helmets prevent major damage to their heads making it seem like they are not being injured at all, just having a headache.
They used to get significant brain damage because when the defensive and offensive linemen would line up, they would ram the top of their helmet into the other players' helmets before the first snap, kind of like how boxers hit each other's gloves.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 President Theodore Roosevelt nearly banned college football because of a couple of deaths on the field . This lead to the use of helmets , pads , and the forward pass .
Every time someone who is not familiar with American football reacts to this clip (there are several UA-cam videos) they inevitably say "How is that allowed?". It's how the game is played and a real big hit is every player's dream. I once flattened a quarterback during a high school game so hard that he came out of his shoes. I picked them up, put them on his chest while he laid there moaning, and said "I think you're gonna need these." The referee started laughing so hard he had to turn around to hide his laughter.
I'm going to put that in the category of "probably didn't happen", because taunting rules are pretty seriously enforced in high school and college. We were not allowed to celebrate while facing our opponents. No taunting them, no saying anything to them, and definitely no setting shoes on their chest. Also, nobody loses their shoes from hard hits, you know... because they're tied. People lose their shoes when their feet get stepped on. None of this sounds real.
THIS is why AMERICAN Love the NFL so MUCH, because the AMERICAN NFL, is so *****(VOLIENT)***** !!!! Please do MORE of these American NFL biggest HITS videos. And do the NFL Biggest HITS videos, with the MIC Sounds ON, so you can HEAR how VOLIENT these Hits really are.
plenty of American sports videos to react to NFL best throws and catches NBA best slam dunks MLB best infield throws/longest home runs NHL best glass breaking moments
If you like these you should REALLY REALLY check out Texas Highschool Football. Even as kids we play this way. My hometown has multiple state championships, The team is called the Ennis Lions, from Ennis Texas. We hit just as hard and are just as brutal in Texas
"How is that even allowed?" I mean, it shouldn't be, it's causing premature deaths and serious trauma amongst those players. But to answer your question: money and toxic masculinity.
In football being hit at full speed, which happens quite often is like being hit by a vehicle at 40mph, that is because both players are usually running at full speed towards each other. In Rugby you can get injured. In football player injuries are common and you could also get killed. Which has actually happened. Also players often play through injuries. Football is combat civilized to the best degree. You have to be at physical peak in order to survive. It is very much a Gladiatorial sport. But they also get payed millions of USD to risk their lives, and at the very least there long term health. Its a risk they are willing to take. Unfortunately concussions are extremely common which does a significant amount of damage over time. Although the game is getting a bit safer to play as time goes on and new tech is developed.
Hehe, the moment you say "these are all giant men" you said that immediately after a clip of youth football....those are kids on that field. The video you're reviewing seems to be largely the professionals in the NFL, but there's a lot of college, high school, and youth leagues in those clips.
Why would someone play this game you asked about the 5 min mark. For about $5 million a year and that is a lower level wage is the answer. But you ask a good question as is all the health problems you will have for the rest of your life worth it? Nobody forces you to play this game in America so its a choice...its a very complicated game for newbies.
Those helmet shots do cause concussions in football those concussions couldn’t NFL players career yeah highly dangerous the rules have changed and football American football you only talk with the body not target the head not like it was before
American football is not a contact sport. It is a collision sport. Offense wants to move the ball. Defense wants to make the Offense rethink that decision
I play high school football and man I’d say it feels like a car crash when you get hit hard and the worse part is you’ll feel it the most the next morning. Also btw these weren’t all NFL teams some of them were high school, college, and other pro leagues
There are rules that cover a bunch of these hits. That doesn't stop it all, but the game is nicer these days, by a bit. There is concern over the head injuries and the teaching in kids' sports has improved. 20 years ago when I was in high school and 30 years ago when I was a kid learning to play we were told to put our helmet through the earhole of the other guy's helmet. The hits were brutal at all levels. I still love it, but I worry about what it does to players brains.
NFL football it’s fine for us as Americans it’s also dangerous in those hits those tackles you saw are legal you can only turn the body of the player not the head if you target the head you will get ejected checked it or kicked out the game
Best reaction to the hits that I've ever seen. Not all football player's are giants, it's a game that we grow to love as little kid's. And we try to play for as long as we possibly can. We may never make it to college, but our bodies later in life, you feel the thing's you did in your younger year's. And concussions used to be walked off. Thankfully they are trying to get better at diagnosing head injuries.
"That's why girls don't play the game." Eddie Falco - The Replacements (a good football movie) When you think American football, think rugby on steroids but without the scrums. When you think baseball, think cricket, just a little less genteel or convoluted. And when you think football, remember that the English invented the sport and originally called it soccer. The U.S. is the only country still calling the game by it's proper name. Yes, we're stubborn about many more things than just measurements.
The US is not the only country to call it soccer. Canada calls it soccer. Australia, New Zealand call it soccer. South Africa and Ireland call it soccer.
Loud Guys, yes, even with eqiupment improvement, there are still many concussions and injuries--But the NFL tries to make the game as safe as possible by not allowing: Late hits on the OB/Defenders have to let the guy catch the ball before they hit the pass recievers/NO using your helmet or head to lead your hits/ No gtabbing/tackling anyone by the head...they'll cost the offending team/player loss of yards, fines, and even suspensions.
I love football the game but these “hit” videos are really the lowest. It’s like sucker punching someone. It’s cowardly and not really a part of the game. I halted these types of videos as they misrepresent what the game is all about.
I enjoyed the video. Personally, I prefer hockey to American football. Actual football games involve more standing around than I like. Hockey...well, it's hockey.
I love people's reactions to this video when they aren't familiar with American football. "Oh, I don't think it will be that ba... OHMYGODISHEDEADNOW!?!??!??!?"
The cricket bat WEIGHS a lot. Do you guys speak Tamil, Hindi, or what???????????? Lara who played for The Windies was THE BEST CRICKET PLAYER EVER in the history of worldwide cricket, hands down. 🏏
About 100 years ago, the English pushed the word "Soccer" on us to replace the word "Football," and we decided to civilize "Kill the Man with the Ball" by changing the name to "Football."
![THEY SHOULD STOP THIS!!!! NFL BIGGEST HITS EVER!!! [SOCCER FAN REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
Some say that rugby is a “Hooligans’ game played by gentlemen.” I say that American football is a “Soldiers’ game played by gladiators.”
I like that!
That's an astute way of putting it. 😄
I really like that and agree
Well I mean if you think about it the football pads reminds me of Roman armor
but Rugby is really the the tougher of the 2...
Football here in America is known as a collision sport you gotta be tough to play our game 😆 great reaction!
American football turns our youth into men. Toughness is part of being an American.
Certainly a collision sport. Two car crashing on a play by play basis.
To bad its leads to so much brain damange.
@@bobbah676 agreed they put their bodies on the line for our entertainment and the psychological damage it does even after they retire is unfortunate.
@@Yawnzee_ yea it’s really sad seeing players with permanent injuries I still can’t get over shazier 😢

@@glastonbury4304 we may not have the largest, but our arrowhead is still the loudest in the world. Literally in Guinness records. 142+ decibels.

These two MUST visit a typical American sports bar on football Saturday or Sunday.
@@alonenjersey It's an AMAZING experience!

well said, dangerous, but those who've played it, love it. balls, brass, and pure athleticism
Chess on the big green board I've heard it put.
That is very true. The fight or flight feeling in football is as close as you can come to real combat.
And sadly, they can sometimes come out on the other end as destroyed as some soldiers.

Several of these happened right in front of my seats. Most of these hits are legal. The one thing you cannot do (anymore) is helmet to helmet. The opening hit (the guy catching the kickoff and getting demolished) sent the stadium into a frenzy. We shook the building.
😂😂😂
All of the videos are from little kids, high school, college and professional football games.
You guy should watch the best plays of the year. Start from 2010 to now.
I would love to see your reaction to all of the years best plays in football
Football is my favorite sport I’m from Texas so it’s basically a religion here there’s one guy guy you have to check out that is one of the scariest players To ever play in the NFL his name is Lawrence Taylor
These guys can generate the same amount of force that is created by getting hit by a car going at 25 MPH. IT HURTS.
Love seeing reactions of people who have zero clue what Football is all about. I played O-line for 15 years and having been retired from the game for some time now it does take a toll on your body as you get older. Injuries include tearing my hamstring, dislocated jaw, rupturing my patellar tendon in my knee, and two herniated dics in my back. But if giving the opportunity to go back and do it all again.....DAMN RIGHT I would go and do it again.
You have the same injuries of a lion who has been hunting tough ass animals for a little while.
If you’re interested there’s a huge issue of football players later in life. It ended up with a reform on the game cause so many players were getting concussion after concussion many were basically developing dementia like behavior in their 40s and such. I’m over generalizing it but the issues were real and severe and it caused them to redo and make the safety guidelines better. But no matter what when you have men that big and say three of them tackling one person..
Pro wrestling also has similar issues to this day.
I love you guys and all your reactions.
My father played college football at Notre Dame, got drafted to go pro but only played in college to become an architect is what he told me. The game is hard on the players physically. my father learned that the hard way. Love your videos
i"m not a big football fan. Baseball is my game. :)
Here in Washington State we had the Legion of Boom , the Secondary of the Seattle Seahawks in the early 2010s on their way to Superbowl winners a couple years later.
We also have the MLS Seattle Sounders ⚽ playing in the same stadium.They just became the 1st American Team to win the CONCACAF League Championship. They will represent North America , Central America and the Carribbean in the World Cup. So US will have 2 teams competing in World Cup.
The Sounders will compete in the club World Cup. Not exactly the same.
So they won the tournament against the countries in this hemisphere that are NOT that good at soccer, is what you're saying?
I just subbed ! Greetings from America 🇺🇸🇺🇸
American football (AF) evolved from soccer and rugby. Think of Rugby players as 1500m runners and AF players as Sprinters. The first AF game was played in 1869 between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, using rules based on the rules of soccer at the time. AF is a violent sport. A 1905 peak of 19 fatalities nationwide resulted in a threat by President Theodore Roosevelt to abolish the game unless major changes were made; hence the padding. College AF is more popular than NFL. College AF stadiums have larger capacities than NFL; a number of them are 100k plus. Michigan stadium is the largest at 107,601 and it’s the second largest in the world. Despite the focus on ‘big hits’ it’s 75% strategic, like Chess.AF is the ultimate team sport; there are no yellow or red cards. If a player breaks the rules, the team is penalized. They are the greatest athletes in the world. You might want to take a look at ‘The Rules of American Football - EXPLAINED! (NFL)” by Nihn Ly.
I am a CFB die hard, but it is disingenuous to say that CFB is more popular the the NFL. Its just not true.
@@jeffburdick869 I can understand how the argument can be made, but they're two different animals.
You guys are fun to watch.
This has been hands down the best reaction I have EVER seen to this video. American Football is a violent sport. That is why they wear so much padding. Glad y'all reacted to it.
I’m not a professional by any means, but my state is know for its football players. Hawaii has Samoans, Tongans, Hawaiians and many other big Polynesian. But when we and the boyz play. We don’t hold back and we’re not expecting the other team to hold back. For me it’s a matter of pride, respect and competition for the teams. A fire that pushes you to be incredible and being part of amazing group of people that are will standby you through it all. But than again what do I know
I'm from New England, but I went to the University of Hawaii at Monoa. I made some great Samoan friends as a resident advisor in a dorm with a ton of athletes. One day my car got "booted" by university police (even though it was legally parked). Before I ever knew it had been booted, my Samoan bros went out and yanked that locked boot off my car and threw it over the cliff behind the dorm! They meant well, but of course I then had to answer of the ticket AND the boot! I never told them that part though because they did it to show that they cared for me. I just couldn't imagine the strength involved. A couple of them went on the NFL
My High school team (in Alaska) won State my junior year, and for the first game of my Senior year (1992-92 school year) we played in Hawaii. They were the bigest guys (overall) I had ever played! I was offensive left tackle at 215 pounds, and our offensive line averaged 230. Their defensive line averaged 260! The hardest hit I ever recieved was in that game. A "little" (190 pounter) hit me blind side on a punt (like some of the hits in the video) and my arm was numb from the end of the first quarter until the beginning of the fourth! So no joke about polanesians. They are amazing in football.
There was actually a Tongian who was 2 years younger than me at my high school who whent to the NFL (Mao Tofie). Unfortunately he only lasted about 4 years. He was a great player though.
"I don't think the helmet would save him." You're right. Many footballers suffer from multiple undiagnosed concussions because the helmets prevent major damage to their heads making it seem like they are not being injured at all, just having a headache.
They used to get significant brain damage because when the defensive and offensive linemen would line up, they would ram the top of their helmet into the other players' helmets before the first snap, kind of like how boxers hit each other's gloves.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 President Theodore Roosevelt nearly banned college football because of a couple of deaths on the field . This lead to the use of helmets , pads , and the forward pass .
@@victorwaddell6530 Right, which led to another problem... brain damage. Thanks for the fun fact and the connecting of your thought with my thought.
Every time someone who is not familiar with American football reacts to this clip (there are several UA-cam videos) they inevitably say "How is that allowed?". It's how the game is played and a real big hit is every player's dream. I once flattened a quarterback during a high school game so hard that he came out of his shoes. I picked them up, put them on his chest while he laid there moaning, and said "I think you're gonna need these." The referee started laughing so hard he had to turn around to hide his laughter.
I'm going to put that in the category of "probably didn't happen", because taunting rules are pretty seriously enforced in high school and college. We were not allowed to celebrate while facing our opponents. No taunting them, no saying anything to them, and definitely no setting shoes on their chest. Also, nobody loses their shoes from hard hits, you know... because they're tied. People lose their shoes when their feet get stepped on. None of this sounds real.
THIS is why AMERICAN Love the NFL so MUCH,
because the AMERICAN NFL,
is so *****(VOLIENT)***** !!!!
Please do MORE of these American NFL biggest HITS videos.
And do the NFL Biggest HITS videos, with the MIC Sounds ON, so you can HEAR how VOLIENT these Hits really are.
plenty of American sports videos to react to
NFL best throws and catches
NBA best slam dunks
MLB best infield throws/longest home runs
NHL best glass breaking moments
There's a movie starring Will Smith that talks about what happens to the football players after receiving too many concussions. It's pretty dark😳...
"Is this WWE?!"
Well, a lot of pro wrestlers DO come from a football background. Some of them even from the NFL :)
If you like these you should REALLY REALLY check out Texas Highschool Football. Even as kids we play this way. My hometown has multiple state championships, The team is called the Ennis Lions, from Ennis Texas. We hit just as hard and are just as brutal in Texas
"How is that even allowed?"
I mean, it shouldn't be, it's causing premature deaths and serious trauma amongst those players.
But to answer your question: money and toxic masculinity.
Please react to" the most intimidating player in the NFL".
Other countries need to watch American, or America’s favorite games and then you’ll understand who we are as a nation don’t play with us!!😂😂😂
In football being hit at full speed, which happens quite often is like being hit by a vehicle at 40mph, that is because both players are usually running at full speed towards each other. In Rugby you can get injured. In football player injuries are common and you could also get killed. Which has actually happened. Also players often play through injuries. Football is combat civilized to the best degree. You have to be at physical peak in order to survive. It is very much a Gladiatorial sport. But they also get payed millions of USD to risk their lives, and at the very least there long term health. Its a risk they are willing to take. Unfortunately concussions are extremely common which does a significant amount of damage over time. Although the game is getting a bit safer to play as time goes on and new tech is developed.
Lol is why is called a full contact sport. And why they get payed so much.
Hehe, the moment you say "these are all giant men" you said that immediately after a clip of youth football....those are kids on that field.
The video you're reviewing seems to be largely the professionals in the NFL, but there's a lot of college, high school, and youth leagues in those clips.
Some of these running backs are as short as 5’5, which is ten trillion millimeters, if my math is correct.
The young ladies' eyes said it all, she was shocked, excited and interested all while having a big smile. Very cool.
Why would someone play this game you asked about the 5 min mark. For about $5 million a year and that is a lower level wage is the answer. But you ask a good question as is all the health problems you will have for the rest of your life worth it? Nobody forces you to play this game in America so its a choice...its a very complicated game for newbies.
Those helmet shots do cause concussions in football those concussions couldn’t NFL players career yeah highly dangerous the rules have changed and football American football you only talk with the body not target the head not like it was before
American football is not a contact sport. It is a collision sport. Offense wants to move the ball. Defense wants to make the Offense rethink that decision
Some of them would be considered illegal hits now and days, some. Which not a big fan of them getting rid of lol.
It's looks worse than it is,These guys train for yrs to condition their bodies,
Great reaction
👍
I play high school football and man I’d say it feels like a car crash when you get hit hard and the worse part is you’ll feel it the most the next morning. Also btw these weren’t all NFL teams some of them were high school, college, and other pro leagues
There are rules that cover a bunch of these hits. That doesn't stop it all, but the game is nicer these days, by a bit. There is concern over the head injuries and the teaching in kids' sports has improved. 20 years ago when I was in high school and 30 years ago when I was a kid learning to play we were told to put our helmet through the earhole of the other guy's helmet. The hits were brutal at all levels. I still love it, but I worry about what it does to players brains.
The vast majority of these hits are illegal now since you cannot tackle leading with the helmet like a spear point..
NFL football it’s fine for us as Americans it’s also dangerous in those hits those tackles you saw are legal you can only turn the body of the player not the head if you target the head you will get ejected checked it or kicked out the game
Not your fault as reactors, but the video is ruined with that stupid music
Do they get a red or yellow card? No, they get a bonus.
Best reaction to the hits that I've ever seen.
Not all football player's are giants, it's a game that we grow to love as little kid's. And we try to play for as long as we possibly can. We may never make it to college, but our bodies later in life, you feel the thing's you did in your younger year's.
And concussions used to be walked off. Thankfully they are trying to get better at diagnosing head injuries.
" do they get a foul or yellow card red card for it" 🤣 🤣
I love your reactions. Very enthusiastic and entertaining. Thank you. Oklahoma USA
Thank you so much!!
3:19 Omg, he got... stuck, lol
“What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! Now let’s play some ball!”
These are famous lines I’ve heard over and over in my life. Still true today.
"That's why girls don't play the game." Eddie Falco - The Replacements (a good football movie)
When you think American football, think rugby on steroids but without the scrums. When you think baseball, think cricket, just a little less genteel or convoluted. And when you think football, remember that the English invented the sport and originally called it soccer. The U.S. is the only country still calling the game by it's proper name. Yes, we're stubborn about many more things than just measurements.
The US is not the only country to call it soccer. Canada calls it soccer. Australia, New Zealand call it soccer. South Africa and Ireland call it soccer.
She is so beautiful 😍
What an awesome video
Loud Guys, yes, even with eqiupment improvement, there are still many concussions and injuries--But the NFL tries to make the game as safe as possible by not allowing: Late hits on the OB/Defenders have to let the guy catch the ball before they hit the pass recievers/NO using your helmet or head to lead your hits/ No gtabbing/tackling anyone by the head...they'll cost the offending team/player loss of yards, fines, and even suspensions.
PARBRAHM WOULD DO VERY WELL PLAYING THIS SPORT. HE IS VERY STRONG, AND HE ALSO HAS A SIKH TURBIN FOR PROTECTION OF HIS HEAD! RESPECT!
haha sure!
American from the Northwest....love your reaction...gonna subscribe...keep up the good work!
Shawty wants to party
I love football the game but these “hit” videos are really the lowest. It’s like sucker punching someone. It’s cowardly and not really a part of the game. I halted these types of videos as they misrepresent what the game is all about.
American Football is different from Rugby. We also have Rugby teams.
Hi, hey try some thing different, Elvis, Polk Salad Annie, 1970
God bless you
Other sports like Rugby are contact sports. American football is a COLLISION sport!
Only thing wanna say is "Incomplete knowledge is harmful guys"
I enjoyed the video. Personally, I prefer hockey to American football. Actual football games involve more standing around than I like. Hockey...well, it's hockey.
🇺🇸✌🏻😂🇮🇳 Your reactions are priceless!! So funny when he says “ Are these humans!!”😂😂😂
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the two of you react to American Football!!! Y’all are 😎 cool 😎!!! Kudos
I love people's reactions to this video when they aren't familiar with American football.
"Oh, I don't think it will be that ba... OHMYGODISHEDEADNOW!?!??!??!?"
Also remember that the SMALLEST people on the field (wide receivers) average 180cm tall and weigh 90kg. Offensive lineman average 195cm and 140kg
American Football and Rugby are very different. It's like Cricket to Baseball
The cricket bat WEIGHS a lot. Do you guys speak Tamil, Hindi, or what???????????? Lara who played for The Windies was THE BEST CRICKET PLAYER EVER in the history of worldwide cricket, hands down. 🏏
Since you’re a Cricket fans you might enjoy watching a Major League Baseball highlight video.
You want to see some crazy American sports? Check out rodeo... Especially the bullriders!..
Everything else is a Contact Sport is NFL is a Collision Sport!!!
Loved playing football in High School. The highlight was sacking Troy Aikman. Love watching now.
Friday night
-High School Football
Saturday night
-College Football
Sunday Night( and now just about every day, really.
Professional Football
This would be called American Football. Rugby is a very different game.
And in College Football and particularly in the NFL(National Football League)these defensive guys can really hit hard(Gridiron Football)
About 100 years ago, the English pushed the word "Soccer" on us to replace the word "Football," and we decided to civilize "Kill the Man with the Ball" by changing the name to "Football."
