As for the NFL and its plays being so complex: you know what else is complex? Algebra, yet I managed to pass that in the eighth grade. Let's face it, most of the guys playing in the NFL aren't winning Nobel Prizes. The plays may be complex to a certain degree, but using that as an argument is sugar coating the basic fundamentals of the game, which are throwing the ball to the guy who is open and running after the guy who has the ball. I mean, I love football, but it is getting kind of irritating that they are promoting the game to be something more than it is.
The main complaint that rookies have in transitioning to professional football is how fast the game is. However, I am sure the game thing can be said about the transitioning to any sport at the professional level. Here's the thing: rugby is a contact sport and football is a collision sport. Just leave it at that.
