It's more like rugby than American football.
The physicality of the linemen and other blockers is key to the whole game of American football. It's like you have a group sumo match and then a rugby game happening around it.
It adds strategy, tactics, misdirection, and specialization of abilities you don't see in other sports.
- pacala 8y agoThe sumo comparison is quite apt, and also present in rugby, at least in scrum situations. OTOH, in rugby passing forward is prohibited. Not so in ultimate or football, where passing forward is a defining characteristic of the game.
