Saw this on Deadspin (http://deadspin.com/5616132/the-manliest-sport-in-the-world):


Formed in Italy, the Fight Football League (http://www.fightfootball.tv/index.php) reminds one at first of something akin to rugby. Players move a ball by carrying or passing it up the field, scoring by getting it in a net at the end.


Then you notice they're wearing MMA gloves. That's because it's perfectly legal to beat the shit out of anyone on the opposing team, MMA style, whether they're carrying the ball or not.


It's more than legal; it's encouraged. If you knock out or otherwise injure a player, his team doesn't get to substitute for him. So instead of flopping around to draw a red card to put your team a man up, FFLers will simply pummel opponents into unconsciousness to gain a man advantage.

This has to make it to the U.S., as there has to be someone seeing $$$ signs at the prospect of a FOOTBALL + MMA mashup game.

Probably a bunch of guys nowhere near good enough for the NFL or UFC taking their frustrations out on each other. Wouldn't surprise me if some poor cunt got seriously hurt.
