     American football has a reputation for being a brutal and dangerous game. This reputation is not really          . The players hurl themselves at each other fiercely, but today their​        and helmets(fitted with visors to protect their faces)are so skillfully padded that there are few serious ​          . By comparison, the rugby player is almost naked,  ​        only a thin jersey and a pair of shorts to protect him ​         his opponents' boots and tackling.
     The football coach is a very important member of the college staff——         important than the professors, some say! The coach picks promising football players from the high schools, and recommends that they ​          given scholarships. This is the only way some boys from poor families with no intellectual background can get to college. Quite a few of these students go on to become professional football players. The names of professional football clubs are as well ​         to Americans as professional soccer clubs are to Europeans and South Americans.
     Soccer games can now draw crowds of over 70 thousand in cities ​        baseball attracts a mere 20 thousand spectators. The soccer stadiums are much more luxurious than the vast majority of European and South American League grounds. There is a seat for everyone and a          lot for 25 thousand cars. Soccer is being brilliantly promoted, like any other promising American product.
