Brits and American Football

During my 15 years in this country I have played many American Football Scrimmages between the Yanks and the Brits. Usually everyone agrees to play tackle (no pads) just like rugby. After about 10 minutes it is always the Brits that complain that it is too rough and someone (a Brit) might get hurt. I think that alot of people in this country are afraid to play. Most think it is a wussy sport because they wear padding. I just have to say...find some Yanks for a scimmage and you WILL change your mind.
