Some people say that American football is a war game in peacetime, and the audience who have seen American football matches all say: It is simply a scene of fighting, which makes people feel too intense and violent.

Maybe we know little about football, but in America, the ratings of football are higher than basketball and football. It is because games are too violent that they are so popular in America. Simply put, the rules of American football are a fierce physical confrontation.

Athletes score points by seizing each other's territory, so the other side will stop moving forward, and the two sides will form a fierce collision and tenacious confrontation. Because the American football scene is too cruel, athletes wear protective helmets and protective clothing on the field, but after each game, many athletes will still be injured and disabled due to fierce collisions on the field.

However, disability has not reduced Americans' love for football. In some colleges and universities in the United States, the income of a football game is as high as tens of millions of dollars, and a stadium has 654.38 million seats. In Blacksburg, every autumn football game attracts nearly half a million spectators.

In the eyes of many Americans, football is not only a game, but also a battlefield. The competition intensity of colleges and universities is not inferior to that of professional teams.

1884, comparable to American violent football on the battlefield. In the investigation of Harvard University, because of the conflict caused by football, there was no referee and police to stop it after the game, and the players could not reconcile at all.

To our surprise, the mood of the audience was even more fearful, almost reaching a crazy state, and someone shouted "hit him!" " Because a ball scored. Kill him! Break his neck! "And so on, the scene can be said to be out of control.

The worst time in history was in 1905, a football match in the United States, which caused 18 college students to die and 159 people to be seriously injured or disabled. As soon as a core member of Dartmouth team arrived at the stadium, his collarbone was broken. Later, I learned in the investigation that the perpetrators said; It was their coach who told them to get rid of the threatening players in the first five minutes of the game, no matter what method.

At that time, the tragic degree of the game also shocked US President theodore roosevelt. Later, under his leadership, the serious moral problems in football were adjusted and the safety factor was greatly improved.

However, although there have been many improvements, the degree of violence in football matches has not decreased, and many competition areas have increased instead of decreasing. Even many students regard the football match as a "social ceremony". So why does the American football game become like a "battlefield"? This should start with the football match in American history.

1902, Wolverine Team of the University of Michigan defeated Buckeye Team of Ohio State University 86-0 in a "feud" competition in the stadium of Ann Arbor, USA.

These two incompatible teams, the Buckeye Team, suffered a crushing defeat, and all this can be traced back to a real war from 1787 to 1805-"Toledo War". At that time, there was a long-term conflict between the two countries on the boundary division of the Great Lakes region. Later, under many contradictions, the relationship between the two States was resolved until the mutual abuse escalated to brush fire, until 1835 to 1836.

However, the people of the two States did not resolve their hatred, so the struggle between the two teams was particularly fierce in every game. This rugby match, known as the "border war", was unconvinced and lasted for nearly 120 years.

Not only these two teams, but also many football matches in the United States. Many "sworn enemies" in history have had realistic contradictions. Similar wars include "Red River Gunfight" and so on. Therefore, in every football match, there is violence more than once, and in order to maximize the benefits of the game, businesses will continue to exaggerate this atmosphere, such as the "century war" and "old enemy confrontation" often mentioned in the United States, so that the emotions of players and spectators reach the extreme.

Because the violence of American football is out of control, Harvard University banned American football matches in 1888. However, only one year later, it was strongly opposed by students and finally had to be re-launched. Later, the school also accused the coach of training students into mindless "beasts" in order to win the competition.

It also severely criticized the relevant business operators: "Killing students, ruining morality, and letting students kill each other." Although American football has gone through hundreds of years, and now the protective helmets and protective clothing are constantly upgrading, every game will bring many players disabilities. This kind of American football game comparable to the "battlefield" is also controversial in people's mouths. So what do you think?
