No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A few might not be utterly exhausted and wishing for death, but running around attempting to play soccer for ninety minutes is not the same as succeeding. Even Wide Receivers and Defensive Backs with some soccer experience aren't going to hang with any professional team; that's just not what they train for. Then there's the skill issue. It would be like asking which Indy car would do better in the America's Cup. ;-)
Oh yeah, sorry, I didn't fully flesh out that thought, was cooking dinner.
You're right, obviously... but by "compete" I simply meant it would go exponentially better than the other way around.
Poor choice of words on my part, apologies.
Yeah, no worries. One of the beauties of soccer is that playing it is not hard, but playing it competently is, and playing it at a high level is insanely difficult.
Don't get me wrong though, in spite of the perfectly good reasons not to be, I still love American football, and you're right that the other way around would be a literal bloodbath.
I was one of the football players who would've been hating life, if not outright died. That being said, I did enjoy going out and playing a bit of soccer just for the cardio. Reminds me of a line I heard long ago... "Play away...just remember, even boys can play."
But I'm kind of enamored by this thought experiement... what if we took both teams and put them in a third arena... say track and field or something? Should be a fair way to accurately test athleticism without favoring either side in overall scoring. Sure, certain events would favor certain builds better...but overall I think it could balance fairly well.
There was a Korean reality show that kind of did this:
