NFL = modern-day gladiators.

A wise man broke it down to me as follows:

A Sport in the truest sense is one that practices War skills. If you look back to the original Greek Olympics you had Wrestling, javalin throwing, archery etc etc

Football is a physical game or attrition, taking ground from your opponent. In that sense, Football is more of a "sport" than Soccer.
