![Biggest Football Hits Ever [SOCCER FAN REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VcspyPFGrBs/mqdefault.jpg)
"Are they hospitalized?" Highschool kids go finish their math homework after this
Factsbro
🤣
😂
That is so true yo lol
Only in Texas or Fl.
“What percentage of these guys go back in the game?”
Vast majority are lined up 20 seconds later for the next play.
Back in the day yes. But concussion protocol says minimum 5 days out
@@AreeyaKKC That's only if you show signs which a lot of these wouldn't
@@AreeyaKKC most of these guys didn't "show signs" and kept going
you are correct. Unlike our friends in western Europe, American football players ,Never stop even injured we can will and DO go back into play. You are considered a weak man if you stay on the side line like a baby crying over a paper cut. I played with broken fingers , knee injuries ( which required surgery AFTER the end of the season , several stiches above the eyes ) It paid for my college and I ,Unlike so many got a degree where i could make a good living when I got out. Far far to many take course loads that are super easy Physical ED ,History ect. When they leave the best jobs will pay Maybe 30,000 year. STEM however, pays a hell of a lot more, Is it hard ? Damned right, but worth it.
True, the vast majority of those players did wind up back in their respective games but there were 2 or 3 clips shown where that player never played football again too.
as a football player, its really just adrenline that carries you through them
That, and not wanting to look like a bitch in front of your team mates lol
Rugby is definitely a tough sport but I think a lot of people who never experienced American football don’t realize how fast these guys are (most ran track and we’re very good) and the lads make you actually try to hit one another harder, if they didn’t wear pads and helmets guys would ease up on hits. I’d love for you guys to show us anything NZ related trust me we Americans would love to hear about your country and culture.
Rugby has no four downs though, but instead keep running and running. Few breaks; so lower speeds.
@@valdemarharaldsson2497 Indeed - having played both sports, the thing about American football when I played was the weaponization of the pads/helmet. Especially on defense we were encouraged to launch ourselves at full speed into the other player instead of making a proper rugby-style wrap up tackle. Even though I loved the big hits, I'm kinda glad that most of those hits we were encouraged to make (especially leading with our heads) are now illegal, since I finished many an American football game with my head pounding, ears ringing and my neck in a ton of pain
Plus the size of these guys in the NFL combined with the speed they move at today? A deadly combination.
Yeah, the average NFL football player is 6 foot two and weighs 146 pounds. You get those guys going to top speed with 30 pounds of pads and it turns into a car crash, quite literally.
*246 lbs
Also as an american, I would say 99% of these people probably popped right back up after the hit and didn't miss a beat.
Probably get pulled out for a play just to get checked for a concussion but yeah most go back in
adrenaline is a double edge knife, they probably don't realize it and get back to it but their condition could be dangerous
America 17 points, England 0!
Nah not 99% more like 75% some of these hits are hard
@@ronduck1459 sometimes sometimes no, many of them just pop up and keep it moving
99% of these guys never leave the field after hits...they kept on playing..
Except emaual sanders was out for the rest of the game.
not true at all lol
@@lsfranchi exactly. The NFL has had a new concussion protocol since 2014 or so. An independent doctor not associated with the team or league monitors players on the field for concussion like symptoms. They have access to sensors inside the players helmets that sense hard impacts and collisions to the helmet. If a player exhibits concussion like symptoms, they are immediately placed into the concussion protocol and are forced to leave the game, and will most likely miss next weeks practice and sometimes the next game. I’d say the majority of helmet to helmet collisions in this video resulted in concussions.
@@lsfranchi There’s been a big push for player safety over the last 7 years or so. The NFL always errs on the side of caution when there are injuries regarding the head and neck.
@@chrishirthe4162 I wouldn't say "always" honestly. They fought against the newer concussion policies for years, and this was while former players were dying from CTE related injuries. They were forced to change their rules by public scrutiny.
as an american i’ve played for 7 years and the hits are the best part it’s an incredible adrenaline rush
I am 43 and I had an MRI of my head, neck, and spine. The first thing my doctor said to me on the results follow up was, "You either survived a horrific car accident years ago or played football. I bet you played football." Yes, I did and I would do it all OVER AGAIN! If you never played all I can tell you is it is the closest thing to the brotherhood war vets feel. It's the first time you learn what giving 100% of yourself is. Call it crazy but I would rather fight on the field than on the street!
The thrill of the arena - it's indescribable, brother! Only those who have experienced it can truly relate...😉👍
@@ewms4931 it really is brother. it really is. And I miss those days and would give anything to go back
“How does his head not come off?” In the meantime, Americans are thinking “fumble, face mask, pass interference…” Fun to watch your reactions!
I guess it's all in your perspective. Just get up and rub some dirt on it. You'll be fine. It's just a a flesh wound.
YES! I was noticing the penalties as well...
It's funny because it's TRUE! We 100% do that!
Helmet to Hemet, roughing the passer....
@@parkeydavid These days it's all focused on targeting penalties
My favorite thing about watching these non-American reactions is that so many of them start with "rugby is rough! They don't wear pads!" And end like "😳😳😳😳"
yup not realizing that they go 100 percent at each other and love it. don't get me wrong rugby is a hard sport in it's own way, just not as violent as hockey or football. football does have a few more hits than hockey but but yeah they both hit freakin hard, as most hockey players are technically linebackers from football in size.
👍🤭😁
@@correlfreehand9454 actually ESPN Sport science did an episode on it at some point, and hockey hits are on average like 15% harder than football hits (I’m probably wrong on the percentage but they determined that hockey hits were harder) which makes sense since they’re on skates so they’re average speed is faster
@@ezzywachsstock7323 true i keep forgetting that, but still they both hit hard, i have also not seen many get completely knocked out though, yes there have been a few but not as many as football. they do hit hard full body, so that force is also distributed a bit more. yeah they both do hit hard not knocking that.
@@correlfreehand9454 Yeah both hit hard. The difference is how they hit though. Football hits a lot of the time they aim for the head, which is illegal in hockey. That's probably why more football players end up with head injuries or knocked out on the field
I’m with you, Nadine. My oldest boy was a “tank” in high school - 6 ft, 280 lbs - and the coaches salivated whenever they saw him. He was the proverbial wall that stopped guys in their tracks. But, he liked the band. Texans take high school football ultra serious, but I sure was proud of my son for sticking to his choice. He told the coaches there wasn’t enough incentives (and they had a lot) to make his face get smashed in the mud every week. He’s still a tank and still impressive looking, and will be 52 this September.
Football in the south ain't a matter of life or death.... it's waaaaay more serious than that.
Yeah that is a tank. I measured at 6'2. 310 my sophomore year so I know that feeling of coaches asking you but they wouldn't let me play when I was younger because they thought I would hurt people. In turn that made me not want to play football because my heart wasn't in it
You know what they say everything's bigger in texas.
He sounds like my roommate lol. He's 280 and 6'3" but he's a heavy duty diesel mechanic
@@purpleirklegrovestreet George Mason doesn’t have a football team though let alone D1 or FCS😂
I remember a segment during the 70s from the Johhny Carson show, a late night talk show, that Dick Butkus was on. Butkus was a recently retired, future hall of fame linebacker for the Chicago Bears during the late 60s and early 70s who had a reputation for delivering very hard hits. Johnny asked him if there was anything left on the field that he had wanted to do but didn't. Butkus said that he had always wanted to hit a player so hard that the player's helmet flew off... with his head still in it!
The pads give you a feeling of invulnerability, so when we hit, we hit full speed. And the reaction from the crowd gives you an awesome high. Those hits are looked for in a game by everyone.
Just like wrecks at the stock car races.
@@_Green_Onions_ Your response is a _non sequitur_
@@_Green_Onions_ It means that what you said has no logical connection to what I said. Referencing OP, I said that people go to stock car races to see the "hard hits." You told me you raised sheep.
@@Whoozerdaddy Gotta disagree. Common goats are natural headbutters and tacklers. Hitting them like rams brings the sequitor into focus. Or I've been married so long I catch the tertiary connections...
@@sid2112 I honestly don't know what you people are on about. My original comment was that people go to stock car races to see wrecks, the same as they go to football games to see massive collisions between people. Neither the original response nor any of the subsequent ones had the slightest thing to do with my post. You can tell yourself my post was about anything you want, but it was about people's blood lust and nothing else.
I love how the mom instantly said "No" when he said where can they sign the kids up for American football lmao
And the boy’s expression.
Haha, yep, in some places, especially texas, they start them real young.
My cousin is married to a former NFL player, and they aren't letting their boy anywhere near a Football. Once you get a bit older you get to understand that even with all the rule changes it's still a crazy violent sport.
@@OzzyTheGiant kids around me started at 12 lol. Some of them you can tell if you know what I mean
@@OzzyTheGiant yeah i bet, here in nc you start at 4 with flag football, then at 6 or 8 you get into football
You guys would not believe how often these hits happen and how often the players get right back up and walk off the field on their own or just keep playing. They are straight up beasts!!!
I believe the big dude running down the field with like 5 players on him, was The Refrigerator "The Fridge" from the Chicago Bears. Dude was LEGIT and nobody could take him down
Me an American just like this is normal we practice these drills after school
2-a-days in 115 degree heat, we did line drills on the sideline.
@@d.l.hayden8951 in American football that’s basically what we do too
I was agreeing, played Jr midgets to college.
Hayden yup
I still have a scar from when I played
The hit at 4:48 was from my high school. That kid was basically a legend the rest of the year
As they should be
He should've been arrested for first degree murder 😆
What state?
My son's a CB and absolutely crushed a kid and got a minor concussion himself. This cheerleader that turned him down embarrassingly as heck tried to kiss him as he was being led to the locker room. He literally stuck his helmet on her as she leaned in. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen live. Even the stadium announcer kid was laughing so hard he couldn't call a play for 5 minutes. I've been looking on YT for months hoping someone would've posted it. My niece couldn't go but listened to the radio broadcast. She said the kid announcing it said "He took her out harder than the wide receiver" and that you could hear people in the background laughing for a while too.
there was 2 clips
I’m American and have friends who will no longer allow their kids to play football because of the growing CTE issue. Consequently, I have two nephews who found rugby at an early age. When high school time came, they wanted to go to boarding school to play against the best competition in the world and chose NZ. Each of them went to a different school, one in Wellington and the other in Hamilton. They loved EVERYTHING about NZ!!
2:06 HELL YEAH!
Nebraska Cornhusker classic right there
Kenny Bell was the G.O.A.T.
Still one of my favorite hits ever.
I love when he said these look like college kids no sir those are high schoolers.
In NZ they're the same age group - high school and college are used interchangeably.
@@travismiles6467 what...? I think you're misunderstanding me completely. I agree there is a difference between a highschool and college team in the US, but in NZ we use different terms for the different levels of education. University is just university here, and when we say college we are referring to highschool age group.
@@MattoUchiha Today I learned...
@@MattoUchiha didn't know that
@@MattoUchiha Oh I learned something today
As a South African I am encouraged to love rugby.But a few years ago I started watching nfl and I must say. Way more confusing to get into but once you do. You can appreciate it as a form of art. Much love😊
I tried explaining US football to one of my ex's, she just didn't care to try to keep up with it. I've been watching it for over 40 years, I didn't realize how much there is to it to somebody who's never watched it before.
@@justincase8037 yep. The way I've learned to explain it is- it's live action chess, but the pieces are modern gladiators And have a mind of their own.
@@justincase8037 Omaha-omaha-omahahaha, smartest QB I've seen, also a Burgh fan.
Best way to teach it or learn it is playing Madden Football. Trust me
@@justincase8037 Manning had an uncanny ability to read a defense and run an audible , it was awesome to watch. But as to your chess comment, I think you are correct , and Brady and Belichick played for the end game better than anyone.
I just want to say that I’m an American southerner and I love your videos and thanks so much for sharing you and your families videos!!! Keep it up mate!!!
The days of my youth I spent playing pickup games of football in the ballfield at the edge of town---no helmets, no pads, no adults---are still among the happiest memories I have.
We definitely have ambulances on the sidelines even at high school games.
As much as head injuries happen, most injuries are broken bones and concussions and torn muscles and ligaments
aren’t concussions head injuries?
My middle school years we had a football player get put in a helicopter and taken out
there are ambulances at some middle school games.
@@PatrickMahomes15Chiefs yes they are, there was a massive problem with them in football. Watch the movie "Concussion" with Will Smith. Its about getting the nfl to admit to them existing and the players actually suffering from them.
@@ddevil4980 hm, I thought they might not be because he said them seperately
American football: Imagine a world class athlete running at you at 20 mph (32.19 kph) trying to end your career.
Life**
You forgot he is also 6,2 240lbs
@JOE BROOKS facts and what when Watt almost knocked Drew Bress head off his shoulders
This comment needs more thumbs ...straight fact
In football it's kill or be killed so I was happy to try to legally take someone out. Especially when I'm tired as hell and someone is trying to bury me in the dirt.
Just subscribed to your channel! I love all of your videos!!! Keep’em coming! Best to y’all from ATLANTA, Georgia USA!
I've been knocked out a few times just in high school as a running back. Rolled both ankles 2-3 a piece. These pro guys are forever damaged in a lot of cases. CTE injuries are starting to be understood after numerous concussions.
I'm an American who spent 18 years living in Australia, and my Aussie friends would tell me that the NFL guys had to wear the helmets and padding to make themselves look bigger - because they were all small in the first place. I came back to California for a visit, and brought a friend with me. When she saw a large group of American footballers at the airport, she about died, and couldn't believe how HUGE some of those guys really are! Needless to say, she became a fan. ;)
Look at how big basketball players are
It's Aussie, not Ozzie lol
@@Fazetarez it's a different type of big rather than just tall. Football players are BIGGG aside from few positions.
@@Fazetarez there aren’t that big
@@Fazetarez NFL players are big in both height and body mass.
The helmet and pads are perceived as weakness, but they are legitimately there so they don't die when they crash into each other.
Respectfully
True story look up the Springfield Massacre which saw 7 players carted off the field in dying conditions. That was between 2 Ivy League College teams too.
Yet at the same time it has given players a subconscious notion of they have "armor" on so they can take and make harder hits. It's succeeded in preventing deaths, but it's also succeeded in increasing every impact related injury just short of death.
In a kind of satire, now that we're addressing that concussions are really bad other injuries seem to be taking the spotlight. I've seen more torn ACL's, ankle sprains, and Achilles heel strains taking players out of games than ever before. It might be because of the more recent transparency of the NFL, but it seems like every college season, my alma mater has one or more of their key players go down with one of these three and they're out for a third of the season.
@@steeljawX as well as life long issues that may not be a serious problem until they are older.
Yeah the gear makes it safer and more dangerous at the same time.
Because you can throw your body like a weaponized Mac Truck.
Basically would you rather be in a bareknuckle boxing match , or in knights armor sword fight?
Me at this age? Neither lol.
I love seeing your reactions it's funny to see how others react to different sports and other stuff. Can't wait to see more
I’m Canadian, and I play minor football and on my hardest hit I sent the kid flying in the air for 5 yards, then he rolled for 2, and my team went *ABSOLUTELY WILD AND BERSERK* upon seeing that hit, because they never thought I could body check somebody and send then flying
@@thomasbishop5390 Interesting! The more I learn ey?
@@thomasbishop5390 plenty of injuries can be obtained, but I have had none so far, though I’ve only been playing for 3 years going on 4 this August
@@thomasbishop5390 YEESH! Not fun!
Dude, low key, I think your son actually did want to try it a little.
I wouldnt be surprised haha
@@yournewzealandfamily to stay with the American football theme, Best Jukes would be good. Watch them dodge the tackles instead of being crushed.
@@MagatsuUjio i totally agree! The hits are big attraction. But watching them make the tackler miss, or running through the tackle is just as impressive!
ha, the way momma bear said no way, I would be more afraid of her than any football player.
whole family react to the college football realignment I know you've watched it yourself but they need to know what college football really is and what happened during that 40 year time periods been over 151 years well technically 152 years starting this fall
As an American who grew up playing this I always die laughing watching people react to it
Same and rugby fans always say that their players are tougher
@cDb the funny thing was they where supposed to be protection, but they got turned into weapons..
I loved playing football. 6yrs old up to 13yrs. Most of my years I was the "little guy". At some point you just love the hits giving and receiving.
The first time I had the wind knocked out of me, I legit thought I was about to die. 1 minute on the ground I popped up like nothing happened..
In this video I can hear the hits even with just the visuals...
Love your video. The Nelly song is used so well. It gives that highlight video so much extra impact on top of the crazy violence. Remember, some those guys are big boys. Nfl players are huge, the smaller end players are like 180 lbs of solid muscle. Then there are some big boys way over 300 lbs. I would upgrade your concept of impact from getting hit by a car, to getting hit by an SUV or a bus.
Every small town High School in America has their own football team and I can’t express enough to y’all how serious it is taken lol. My 2 sons have played football (one currently still plays when it’s football season) and I have lost my voice several times at the games lol. God bless y’all.
my magnet program hs never had a football team lol
I’m in my sophomore year of football...
I was a lineman last year, but since I can run pretty well and I weigh 150 pounds at 5 foot 7, I think I might do receiver.
Hope your boy has a good season.
There is this 1A or 2A school in Alabama that doesn't have a football team
My oldest nephew played football and lacrosse. He got hit by two players and broke his femur. They had to put a metal rod and screws into the bone to help it heal. He woke up from the surgery and asked when he could get back on the field. Unfortunately, he was a HS senior and he was done for the season. He did heal up in time to play his senior year of lacrosse though.
That’s a good mom lolol
I've played both rugby and American football and it's my experience that the hits in football are much worse because the pads and helmet provide a false sense of security and protection. Ruggers are generally better at doing proper tackles to minimize injury to themselves.
I was gonna say, the technique in rugby is better. Like proper tackling whereas with football it's often a collision at full sprint. It seems as though the technique is found on the line of scrimmage, in the open field it's pure violence.
Most likely because Rugby players wear little protection and know not to try to injury themselves or others.
Some Ruggers wear helmets as well to make it less prone to injury
No offense intended but Rugby doesn't come close to this game...Rugby tackles, please!!!...don't make me laugh. The players aren't as big and strong, as fast, or as tough/ Lmao when someone tries to compare the tackling between the two totally different sports.
@@theoafman9068 ...yeah right!...(chuckles), and y'all call those tackles?...scrums...lol
I play football and as an American I can say that very little of those guys get hospitalized because the pads take most of hits and sometimes you just don’t feel it.
Watching this a year and a half after it was released and it's wild how much the kids have grown in that time!
"Are they hospitalized after this??"
Americans (me): I believe we will consider that a "mild" concussion.
Yes, they are if they comPlain that they are hurt. They make sure they are not hurt
Tis but a scratch
most of them jump up and keep playing lol
"hahaha he's dizzy!"
Oh trust me, that dude is a lot more than dizzy
That dude was trying to remember his name.
I watched that game he was more disappointed cause he had a kick blocked in the cotton bowl that would’ve won the game
@@stephanrosenquist9224 mans was trying to remember where he was
Oh yeah, he probably couldn't remember his name or where he was after that.
This was a great video. I just subscribed and will look forward to more.
Most of those people getting tackled likely went right back in or took a break for one play before coming back in.
I'm glad to see you all put the rugby comparison into your video. There's a lot of chatter that if we remove the hard helmets in American football, the amount of concussions would decrease. Waist tackles would save a lot of problems.
Mom and daughter look like they might be getting sick. Meanwhile Dad and son look like they found their new favorite thing.
Because they wear pads it makes the players feel safe so they actually tend to hit much harder... The forces involved is akin to a low speed car crash...
Ironically, the high school I played at had a huge Poly population who loved to play football. We were pegged as a “dirty team” for how we hit. On the weekends and after practices, we would play rugby (we weren’t supposed to do this for injury purposes, but we were 17-18 years old). We would hit each other just as hard as if we had pads on. It’s not about the comfort of the pads. It’s about the age-old adage: “It doesn’t hurt if you’re the one doing the hitting.” I loved playing rugby; it’s fun! But I really believe it’s easier for a football player to transition to rugby than a rugby player to transition to football.
At times it could be career ending hits. And sadly some end up mentally mush from hits like this.
You have a beautiful family.. Bless you..
Played American football for 15 years, tough game. Started playing Rugby in college and that game is absolutely brutal. Both are intense for sure.
Jeez I’ve never seen a son looks identical to the dad, and the daughter looks just like the mom. Beautiful family man
That means there’s no infidelity
@@1966bluemax Youre right, they arent from chicago.
And that’s when little billy knew he no longer wanted to play Rugby anymore
😄
@@yournewzealandfamily I live near Los Angeles California. We used to have a what you could call a minor league called XFL. The team was called L.A. Xtreme. The league is no longer. Anyways I was at the game where their center was internally decapitated and died. It was heartbreaking. As far as I can remember, it has been years, the spinal column popped. It was instant.

@@roycecharlton7292 Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California 👍
beautiful family and great video!
We were taught to wrap up just like Rugby, but it becomes tougher as speed increases in higher levels. Also, the ball carrier doesn't want to be tackled so they are lowering their head and shoulders and initiating contact and the defense has to compensate. A lot of times it results in what you are seeing, but these hits are really rare.
you called a “face mask foul” heck yeah!! your on point with our sport!!! love it!! 🇺🇸
He also properly diagnosed the interception - mad respect from the US!
Only a foul if you get caught doing it. LOL
@@josephjones611 Sad, but true fact...
"NFL's Greatest Jukes", watch the dodging, weaving in & out, jumping ... it's like a rougher version of ballet!
It’s called avoiding being on the receiving end of the video they just watched. You’d wanna juke too.
U ain’t wrong bro
The people would probably love to see the All Blacks perform the Haka! I played rugby in the US Marine Corps for 16 years and on the All Marine Rugby team for seven years. The difference is, and this will piss off a lot of American footballers but, they do not actually tackle 90% of the time, they make hits and that is it. It is not required to make an attempt to wrap up the opposition. Plus, you guys might not realize this but they do not play the entire game. They play, either, offense or defense. It is extremely rare that they play both sides. Plus, it take football, three hours to play a 60 minute game. They have a break in between each quarter also. Love your videos!
Some of my best times in life. Played with my brother for two years during high school. My son played for the same coach as my brother and I also.
"He has at least.. 3 broken legs" lmao thats genius. Also the look of joy on the sons face the whole time is awesome
"At least three broken legs" Quote of the century LMAO
🤣
@@yournewzealandfamily this is what I call getting knocked into next Tuesday
First again, I appreciate your videos. Thank you. I wish you would consider doing one on Surfing in New Zealand. As well know, most NFL players call it Not For LONG! It is brutal so appreciate how tough it is and the fact to get that level which is astronomically difficult you must have great coaches, and there are 22 people on the field. This is why even smaller players can do very well in Football. I Did end up at 224 which was just a bit short of the required weight but that took a lot. I lost a few millie seconds on my speed.
Love your channel!
when you sign a five-year contract for 45 million, you are expected to go out and give it. but our High school kids give it as much sometimes
Now days it’s over 150 million, if you’re an elite QB 300 million. Mahomes got 500, but it’s a 10 year deal. Still insane.
With high school pretty much devoid of sports gambling which allow for contests free from suspicious forms of manipulation. Even College football is suspect in my eyes.
"This one's like college kids, they;re small" - meanwhile it was like 12 year olds in that clip. About 20% of the hits in the main video are from college games.
There are no "small" guys they only look small on TV.
Yeahhh... small.. if 6'3 280 pounds is small.
“Oh he looks dizzy” lol! This is awesome. That player probably ended up going to the hospital. Keep em coming this was good.
"Thats about three broken legs" love it lol🤣❤❤
I just love how in the original video the Mr is cringing like he's getting hit and now he's just laughing as the family gets its NFL cringes in.. welcome to being a football convert.
I've been an American football coach for over 18 years and I will tell you that almost all of those big hits are now penalties in the game. Plus any of the hits where the guy doesn't move is forced into a concussion protocol where it can last 72 hours to as many as 2 weeks. Plus the helmet technology is 10 times better than when I played the game. I remember getting knocked out cold from a relatively minor hit to the ear hole of my helmet. They are no longer circular for that reason.
Not to mention some of the older reels where players were tossing others over their shoulders by the face mask! Brutal!
Also, interesting to know about the ear hole on helmets. I never noticed they changed that, lol
Yes. They made rules about hitting a person in the head to head contact. They are making more rules like that to cut down on concussions, head injuries that can take damage and compound over time by mutable hits to the head.
It seems concussions is becoming a big thing in all sports now days, where they are trying to protect the players more.
A lot of those were perfectly legal actually. There were some that were leading with the helmet and all but I'd say a lot of those are just good hits.
@@Hawkz00 Indeed. There was one flagrant facemask as well but it was in black and white film so I'm guessing it may not have been illegal at the time or at least not as aggressively enforced.
@@robynspelts5688 when did they ever do that? i been watching the nfl since the 70's and grabbing the facemask has always been against the rules during that time,.
Hello , my mom didn’t let me play American football, so I became a goalkeeper in my youth. Slide tackles in my goalie box. Was my fave.
Life-long New England Patriots fan here. I loved this video as always, and have to say, there's actually a LOT of flipping over when hit in American Football. It's awesome. And no, they are not hospitalized. They usually pop up and keep playing. If a player has to be taken off the field for an injury, you can assume it's bad. Concussion or torn ACL or knee are the usual injuries.
Little man had me dieing laughing at the end of the video. The dad: "would you rather get hit with pads or a rugby hit?"
Little kid: " id rather just hang out and watch videos."
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can tell you, having a son who is OBSESSED with football and has been playing since he was 4, they find the hits fun! I find them terrifying as his momma, but they love it. He had a nosebleed one time and cried because he thought I wouldn’t let him go back in! We stopped the bleeding and he ran right back in. Craziness, truly. He’s 16 now, plays starting center and hopes to get a college scholarship. I’ll support him, but it sure does scare me.
There's only two other sports that seem to induce the same reactions from moms are olympic style wrestling and motocross (Motogp [street bike racing] has horrific crashes but most riders seem to be just fine after a wreck due to course layout). I've seen more than enough motocross wrecks (brothers raced) to know that it's one of the few sports that's as brutal as American Football (if not more).
Yep. Boys are like that, I certainly was when I was younger. Sometimes you just gotta let go and let them pummel each other.
You’re the real warrior watching on the sidelines.
On the bright side, Center is one of the rarest to get major injuries.
@@bimbobagons4726 Cmon now 🤣🤣
You guys are so awesome.
When I was in highschool, after a big win against our cross town rival, we usually have a team basketball game the day after, but my senior year we did rugby with some of our head coaches friends, who both were rugby coaches. Multiple times they had to tell us to slow down because they thought we were gonna completely permanently injure each other.
As an American, these hits are pretty run of the mill. We get up, rub some dirt on it, and go finish homework.
Heck yeah, getting hit by a freight train and ready to take it again 20 seconds later. Lol
Lol. Not anymore. As an American football has gotten so soft I watch soccer. It's more physical
@@gameforfree2833 well they had too. Players getting brain damage going crazy and killing themselves and other people.
@@jonb2911 I know this SILLY. just saying ummm. That American football in no longer football. There are some people that liked to watch men play "football". Just sucks we can't anymore.
And develop CTE in the process.
I was lucky enough to play college ball back in the 90's. I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss it. The smell of the grass, the adrenaline, the comradery, the CRACK of the pads, the feel of de-cleating someone and standing over them just long enough to see the snot bubbles... There's nothing like it.
I always loved the crash of the pads. The sound is just so satisfying its hard to explain.
I only played up to high-school j.v. even as a kid from the time you put on your pads you start to get the adrenaline flowing and it is the greatest feeling ever.
I played football in Jr high and High school. I loved it.
I love football hopefully I can play in high school and college
Everything you're watching now is a 15 yard penalty in the pros and an ejection in college. Its a violent sport, let those who want to enter the arena do what they do. Shout out to all my old school football players. RESPECT
Ray Lewis compilations are crazy they are the scariest. Also what Matthew Stafford has survived on the Lions.
watching American football the first time is a shock to the system!
@Colton Barley, same I'm in high school foot ball and I've only been laid out a few times, and it was never this bad
@@zenextract7903 gotta remember how much the rules have changed in the past 15 to 20 years.
@@davidfence6939 facts it is more protected now
I was 6'-4" 240lbs in highschool. I loved the feeling of hitting someone full speed and completly reversing their direction.
I loved hitting the qb just as he was throwing the ball and hear the wind leave his body.
@@bug-lf4sg I heard in the old days, i.e. before they started getting strict on late hits and roughing the passer, it was common practice to try to nail the quarterback as hard as you could to put him in a daze.
In other words, giving the quarterback a mild concussion was encouraged.
It's always fun to the rock to their hard place , eh?
Man I have never hear it described so perfectly
Yes, I wasn't allowed to hit my brothers any longer, so I had to play football. Freshman year I was 4' 11¾" tall and weighed 91 lbs. That fall I broke our qb collarbone in practice. He tried to stiff arm me, I went under it and hit him in the knee.
Your family is beautiful and your doggy is precious 😊
Great reactions!
I’ve watched a couple of videos where your family watches and reacts , I’ve gotta say I believe you have an amazing family . Anybody would be proud to be associated with y’all. God bless
I agree... You can tell they have a happy home. Those kids are and will grow up well adjusted.
Love the reaction folks . remember those players are 6'6"+ 300 pounds running full speed . like getting hit by a small car
95% of the ppl in this video are about 190-250 pounds
Football is a deadly fun game that scars u for life my knees are done for but doesnt change how much i love this sport
Yea this is my sport right here just wait I love y’all’s reactions
In recent years they’ve really tightened up the rules and improved the helmets in the interest of protecting the players more. Watch the movie ‘Concussion’ and you’ll better understand the seriousness of the head trauma caused.
They pussified the sport. One of the main reason viewership started dropping in the first place. Might as well put em in tutus and be done with it.
JJ C How long have/did you play professional football?
@@laynebrock Never. Grew up playing football and have watched the nfl my entire life.
You don’t need to play it to know how soft the players have gotten because of the rule changes. Dudes use to get bloody every week (this is a little before my time but true nonetheless) and be happy about it. Now, half the qb’s in the league jump around crying for flags every time they get touched. Hell half the players cry for flags no matter what happens. It’s damn near as bad as soccer. They’re just overpaid divas. It’s fuckin pathetic.
And not just the head trauma at impact but how it is years and years down the road!
@@stonecoldcowboy1817 Every single player knows exactly what it is they signed up for. Not a single person that’s ever played a down of football can claim they don’t know that bashing their head against someone else’s head at full speed won’t have consequences. That’s just common fuckin sense. And every one of those lawsuits are from greedy pricks just lookin for a quick payday. And now, I literally saw an article just a little bit ago, a bunch of these rejects are trying to make it about their fuckin skin color. It’s a fuckin joke.
As an older American citizen I happened upon your channel. Had to tell you how much I appreciate not only your content but the way in which it’s delivered. The world needs more family values like the ones you promote. An entire family environment with input from all. Keep it up. Love from small town southern Oklahoma U.S.A.
Yes such a great family
Just Good People
oklahoma here to
I agree with everything you said, coming from a small northeastern town in Oklahoma
This is my second video of yours and Im subscribing!
Was great to see the clip of Sean Taylor completely demolition the punter.
Being from America I really enjoy your reaction videos and think it's incredibly cool that you all participate as a family in them. That makes them so much more fun to watch. Great job and thank you so very much.
I used to be a paramedic and we had to wait on standby at the stadiums during our high school and college football games. Something people get pretty surprised by is that (being in the very very Deep South in Georgia) if we ever actually did have to look at someone or got a call at the game, it was rarely because a player got that badly injured. It was typically a fan who got overheated
I'm in north east Georgia and as a pro wrestler we had medics at every show bc we get legit injuries at every show
@@achievementunlocked1838 yup I saw a lot more injuries as a wrestler than I did in football. Lots of dislocated elbows and messed up ankles
I Wonder why early demencia is a thing among nfl players 😅
Lol. Those darn fans.
The number of concussions from hits like those it's gotten a lot of attention over the last several years.
To answer your questions about if they go back in after those hits the answer is yes most times they go back in after a few plays
@The Phantom He said "most" of them do. Most were not knocked out.
about 1% might leave the field. They do have ambulances at all games from , usually, high school on up.
Yeah I remember back in HS we had a sophomore as our starting halfback. Left in the ambulance cause they were worried about a possible neck injury. Dude was waiting for us when we got home after the game. Whole team was worried sick about him. It was an unusually rough game that night. A lot of injuries.
All sports have ambulances at games.
@@pauljarvis446 not all of them do. Never seen any ambulance at a track and feild meet or swimming/ diving meet. Most of the high school football games I went to never had an ambulance either waiting or called at all, but they did have trained medical professionals on the side lines just in case someone needed to be evaluated. Most of the football players got right back up and continued playing. If the players were down on the ground for to long, medics would run into the feild to do a quick diagnosis, then take the player off the feild for further evaluation during the next play (it is required for they player, that had to be evaluated on the feild and has no physical injurues or concussion, to come off the field for one play. They can then be brought back into the game if they exhibit no signs or symptoms of an obvious physical/ mental injuries). These hits in the video are common, but there were quite a few tackles that looked like they should have recieved penalties ( flags or fowls) for ( some of them probably did receive flags for them).
@@rene14slhs here in Australia all sporting events also have medical personnel. All professional sports have an ambulance on standby.
In Australian football they have a concussion test, and if a player fails the concussion test they're not allowed back on the field for atlest three weeks.
@@pauljarvis446 thanks for the info, in America it isn't the same. It's interesting to hear about the differences in different countries sports injury evaluations.
I watched this exact highlight tape as a little rocket football player to hype myself up for my games 😂
3:41 We call those hospital passes, cause if you throw it there, your receiver is gonna get rocked
“I wonder what percent of them got up and went back into the game” as a football player I can tell pretty much all of them

I remember when I was in my early teens, playing "sandlot" football... same game as you just watched, but without pads and helmets. The scary thing is that we hit each other just as hard... chest, waist, legs. The head was off limits, period. Another name for American football is "Kill the man with the Ball", of course, killing is the LAST thing we want to do. But we had teams from different neighborhoods meet up for a game. Those got interesting, and yes there were injuries. Broken bones, including ribs; some of us got knocked unconscious, and the ever present get the wind knocked out. For us, we considered it a right of passage, a coming of age moment, or a way to impress the neighborhood girls.
Yeah, guys will do almost anything to get a girls attention, the dumber the better. I bet the ladies have both seen it in action.
I was stationed in Germany with the US Army for a year. But I got into a few scrums with the local rugby teams, just for the experience. Believe me, Rugby players are not gentle, and those darn cleats hurt! Cheers mates!
We called it 'kill the carrier' it was just a free for all football game with out the gear on
Sometimes we would play in pairs
First bit just sounds like rugby
We call it “smear the queer” 😂 totally ignorant looking back on it.
Playing football through college, when we played the pickup games, the speed was not the same, it was more for fun, there werent any collisions as violent or at the speeds they would happen in and actual game or practice
@@bimbobagons4726god i feel old hearing that again, it's been a while but man it was fun back then. makes my joints ache thinking of it now.
Beautiful family brother
As an American I grew up watching this & never thought anything of it UNTIL I saw how other countries athletes or fans reacted.
Now I’m proud of how badass American sports actually is 😂
As an American I agree, but as someone who also cares about the safety of the players I am a little ashamed of how little the NFL cares about its players.
Yeah it always surprised me how people thought Rugby was tougher than American Football. I mean it's a rough sport but someone not padded up isn't going to hit you going 100% cause they'd destroy themselves too. These Football players go 110% sometimes just because they know they are somewhat protected.
@@alexs1640 exactly.
Have u seen the fuss soccer players make when they are barely touched!?
@@alexs1640 ya american football and ice hockey are much more vicious than rugby...
