    I know what soccer is but there’s no tackling in soccer. Is there tackling in rugby? So I was talking about rugby. Because your “fútbol” is our “soccer,” but our football is some weird hybrid of rugby & fútbol. So I’m trying to compare our football with whatever sport you might have that involves a ball and men tackling each other.

      I never said anything about tackling?? Anyway, here’s the comment you replied to, localized to your dialect:

      Now imagine football soccer, it’s fun, social, great excercise, collaborative and you feel good afterwards.

        He said football so I pictured this 🏈 (American sport that involves tackling) then my first thought was traumatic brain injury, then someone said, no not that kind of football. This kind of football ⚽ and I said ok I wonder if there are any non- American ball sports that involve tackling which cause traumatic brain injury. Rugby, perhaps? Does rugby involve tackling? Which nobody answered my question but only insulted me because you’re all still hung up on the misunderstanding & you’re still thinking I don’t know the difference between ⚽ and 🏈 .
