Not being from the US, this is a phenomenon of which I am unfamiliar.

Hi Jack,
It's what we call football (played with protective padding) in the states.
I would hazard a guess that soccer or rugby (played w/o padding) is a bit
rougher.
I understand that the difference between soccer and rugby is that in soccer,
injuring your opponent is incidental to scoring while in rugby, scoring is
incidental to injuring your opponent. ;-)

Look at his call. Then ask him about his brand of football!!
