Why is there so many glory hunters in football?

Because they don't know how to do anything else with their lives, so the only way they can get attention is to grave glory in football.

because most of the good college teams have good kickers and they only show the good teams on tv.  In the pros, the people trying to block the kicks are much better which puts the kickers under a lot more stress.  Plus, they're often trying to kick longer distances than college kickers.

Football is no less than a Religion for them...the ronaldinho's, Kaka's , Adriano's these big names come from the lower strata of society...I've seen waiters of a brazilian restraunt playing soccer at night..they just can't sleep without it...and they play it on the samba music..that music really speaks on them..for them its eat soccer sleep soccer and think soccer.

What.. this seems to be two seperate questions here!! Firstly, people get fanatical over football as it is a psychologicl substitute for war. \n\nSecondly... don't 'chead' on your girlfriend. Simple answer.

Yeah, there's a point in football. Football is , in my opinion, America's greatest past time.  There's more pride in football than any other sport,especially if their favorite team is located in their home state.Some People think football is meaningless and barbaric. To those people that detest against football,pick up ya remote and enjoy watchin Lifetime...ya wuss.

Simply put..\n\nThere are more rules in American football than any other professional sport..  You almost need a PhD to understand every rule..  That's the first reason..\n\nSecond is passion as a kid..  you becoime passionate about the sports you are exposed to as a youth..  every kid in the united states that went to high school knows someone who played high school football..  your school and your city pride was always at stake every Friday night..  \n\nBy the time you leave high school, it becomes your university and your state's pride in college..\n\nThat doesn;t exist with American football any where else in the world..  \n\nSoccer, on the other hand, it's very similar..  every town, every school every region in most countries have teams that represent in the same fashion as high school and college football do here..\n\nBut take the vast majority of the life long soccer fans from any region of the world and introduce them to football, most..  not all, but most will find the game very confusing, difficult to follow and the number one question which I hear from so many Euro and South American friends is why is it called football when they only use their foot less than 25% of the time.,.\n\nBottom line is what do you grow up with..  People in Georgia or Mississippi have a hard time following the NHL because they have no connection..  the same, to a lesser extent, to the people in Wisconson, or Minnesota with NASCAR..    Football is widely followed here in the US..  but most Germans have no clue what the difference between a forward pass and an audible is

Some players realise there's more than playing for a "better" club, its called LOYALTY!\n\nIts just a shame that more players dont have any of this and just follow the smell of cash and glory...

Every fan of football around the world, utters you name. And you posses the talent to lead your team to victory, and get a standing ovation from the whole crowd. (for example, Zidane, Roanldinho, Henry, Ronaldo, Pele, Shevchenko, etc.)

cause if you look like it it looks like a banner like you see people holding at footballmatches for example, they have a rectangualr peice of cloth with stuff about there team on it, in other words they are advartising there football team.

Often because they have too many egos on one team. An average team can do a lot better if they have team chemistry then if they have a lot of overpaid players who can't work together.

There are a lot of sports fans out there that also gamble. So it is like watching a sports event because they use stradegy and cunning just like in other sports and people have dreams of winning all the money. And for me it is to gain tips on how to improve my game.

Pride my friend. To much pride.  A lot of people after playing a sport for so long begin to think that other sports that are in contrast to theres are inferior. No harm in ignoring them and rockin out in what ever sport you play.  \n\n         I know where your coming from I played soccer for 12 years :)

Anything that happens only once every four years is worth getting excited about, especially when the best football players from ALL OVER THE WORLD are there to put up a hell of a show! Besides I got tired of watching the "world" baseball series, "world" NBA championships, "world" (american) football champions. How could they say they're world champions when they only play US teams?!? It's things like these that cause other countries to hate us so much.

I think most of them play for the love of the sport.\n\nYou can't be a good sportsperson if you do not have the passion.\n\nThe money side is a bonus to them.\n\nI know a couple of sportspeople, who make a lot of money\n\nBUT they are excellent at what they do and they also have a passion for it.\n\nOnce they lose the passion, they no longer play well, because they need to play from the heart.\n\nI hope this helps.

football is my fav sport, just because of the atmosphere in the ground when you go and watch. but its dissapointing when you got the odd idiot that ruins it for everyone else
