I have a proposition about this soccer/american football debate.  Let's
have the Dallas Cowboys play the world's best soccer team in a game
of soccer and see which team gets the highest score, and then we'll have
the same teams play a 60 minute (american) football game and see which
team has the most _survivors_.

How may soccer/rugby players weigh 240 pounds (about 100 K), and can
run 100 meters in near-olympic time?

BTW, TV audiences were treated to a compound fracture a few years ago in
living color, plus quite a few knee dislocations every season.
