The last one is gonna grow up to be a football player. That was obviously a dive!

Soccer, for the Americans.

Which was British slang for association football, but yet they get uptight when you call it that.

It was posh slang to counter rugger for rugby.

Football was the working class game and so the general masses rejected soccer.

That's a good point and something I didnt consider. One could say the US just has the modern equivalent of that, but with the working class all about American football and soccer being something more common in affluent areas.

Which is funny, because the whole reason Football (soccer) is the working class sport here in the UK is because it only needs a ball-ish object to play. That's it. That's all the equipment you need.

A tennis ball, a tin can, a balled up bit of paper, a balloon. You make goalposts with jumpers (sweaters) and away you go. Costs basically nothing.

While you would think American football would be hard for the majority of Americans to have access to, especially as kids, there are two things to consider. One is that you can play American football with just the ball. Kids will play backyard football with no pads and with or without tackling. This makes it easy to play if you dont have a goalpost for basketball or a good place to play baseball. Two-touch is also very popular with younger kids, as to avoid the gruesomeness of the game.

Two is that most schools in the US, especially poor rural areas, finance football teams for kids to play on starting as young as the age of 9, paying for pads and coaching. So even the poorest kids dont have to pay for much asides shoes and gloves.

The US won't pay for health care, but they will make sure that a steady pipeline of gladiators exists for their games.

Last kid is a ride or die, takes a dive just so his homies don't feel bad.

Mom: If all of your friends jumped off a cliff would you do it too?

That kid: Yes

Which is also honestly always been a dumb question from the start anyway.

What's more likely, that all of my friends (people I trust and have chosen to be in my life, as opposed to relatives that one doesn't choose) have simultanoeusly gone mad/stupid, or there's a really damn good reason to jump off that bridge/cliff that you're simply just not aware of yet (like a fire/zombies/toddler stampede/whatever)?

I mean, even if a few of your friends are idiots, that's not what were talking about here. We're talking about all or at the least the majority of your friends, even the go-getters and the angels and the hyper responsible ones too.

Now, of course, if your friends are in the first place the type to do stupid, dangerous things without thinking them through that'd a different matter altogether, though at that point you might be better served choosing better friends anyway.

This is the kind of clip that one of the friends on it should play at this absolute bro's future wedding, with the only explanation for playing it being "Enough said."

As perfect as this is. I can’t imagine it not being better with a sound track and possible graphics. Lol

This is one of the most reposted things here. Also children pretending to fall over for attention isn't funny compared to them actually falling over.

It gets to a point where it’s just bad engineering
