Why isn’t slide tackling allowed in American football?

Why isn’t slide tackling allowed in American football?

It is, it's just a lot harder to take someone down with a slide tackle than wrapping them up

casue dey use their hands n shit

because you can use your hands and it's easier to tackle with your hands and upper body

you never played sports?

No, only soccer

In football, brains are less useful than legs

why do you think tackling with your arms is illegal in soccer? because it's too easy

Because amerilards are unable to lift themselves up once they are on the floor.

I unironically believe this to be true

Whoa calm down Heinrich. If you have to restrict half of the main appendages humans use to make it a challenge, maybe your hobby isn't that great

Why would that be?

What if your hobby gives you obesity and life changing head trauma?

Glad you agree that soccer is a hobby

>What if your hobby gives you obesity and life changing head trauma?
I don't play professional football and don't care

says the guy whose sport literally doesn't allow players over a certain height

>slide tackling in american football
that sounds incredibly dumb when you can just use your arms and literally do whatever you want instead

since when is there a height restriction?
if you are over 6'8", its just smarter to play basketball

the fuck?
you cant tackle with arms because you cant touch anything but the ball when tackling

Why would you slide tackle when you can launch yourself at someone head first and get on the highlight reel? C'mon bruh

coon collision's problem is precisely that it is not as one-dimensional as proper football. it leads to all kinds of endless shitty rules and stoppages and general stagnancy. it has no fuckin flow

When we played in uni we had a referee come to us to explain the rules to the freshers

One fresher asked if he could kick players or karate kick players to tackle them

Ref said no, so he left, the semen slurping sport wasn't for him

Why do soccer players fake injuries?

Different goals.

A slide tackle is to knock away the ball and steal possession not necessarily to knock over the player.

The goal of a tackle in American football is to knock the opposing player to the ground to stop the progress of the play.

It is more efficient to knock a player to the ground by wrapping them up with our arms and forcing them down then it is to slide at them and hope they don't leap over you.

Brainlets when will they learn.

To satisfy crazy soccer/football parents

>doesnt tackle the ball with the arms

They're trying to get a free kick or a penalty. The other player also can get a yellow card and if he has a yellow card already he will get a red card. Also if the other team gains momentum, faking an injury can be used to "slow it down". It's cheating. The ref can give you a yellow card if he notices that you're pretending.

This

>proper football
soccer

>implying slide tackling someone at full speed won't immediately bring them to the ground
>b-but m-muh tackling is b-better

You still can get stiff armed, or worse, you can fuck your spin up.

Faggot liberals--when will they learn?
