How many of you have said.."football is violent".. "too much like war".. well THANK GOD!
No country in the world plays a sport that the underlining characteristics are the fundamentals of an army.
"Command and control functions are performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities, and procedures employed by a commander in planning, directing, coordinating, and controlling forces and operations in the accomplishment of the mission. Also called C2"
In all, 1,134,377 boys at 15,513 high schools played 11-, six-, eight- or nine-player football for their high schools in 2010-11. Football remains No. 1 among high school participation | Youth Football | USA Football | Football's National Governing Body
So given 70,000 college players and 1,500 pro there are over 1.2 million young virile athletes that understand command and control.
And that is in just ONE year!
Players graduate but never forget their football training.. command/control.
More kids are learning football adding to the reserves.
All in all an estimated 40 million+ American males have had since grade school and up instructions in command/control.
Each team has a coach.. commander..
Each team has a quarterback that takes commands from the commander.
Each player is trained to perform according to control functions.
Exactly how an army platoon works!
So amongst all this angst about football injuries, remember we have trained nearly 40 million Americans in the command/control aspects of a platoon and the
principle of taking orders from a platoon leader who gets orders from a coach who can get orders from a central command.
And so it is without question one of the underlying reasons the world's largest Army Chinese will never resort to a land based invasion because no matter how
many troops they bring.. the USA with our home force football trained in army squads, platoons..i.e. command and control will be able to thwart them.
They will never have enough men coming over by sea.
