I think this would be a useful idea to import.
I watched an American game that the yanks called "football" for some reason once, they spent most of the time in play picking the ball up or throwing it. When they weren't in huddles around discussing "tactics", which were invariably running full tilt at the other side to see who could absorb the most damage.
A bit like rugby but with girly padding.
16 balls in one game! another example of American decadence.
The first time I was at an American football game, I honestly asked my friends after the first quarter whether the actual game would start now. So far I had just seen people throwing some balls and running a few yards, and other people measuring the segments of the field for some reason, and i figured this was some kind of warmup excercise and preparations. The looked at me like I was crazy.
