It's a pretty violent sport, and nobody can afford to not be 'all-in' when it comes to make a tackle etc. The requirements just aren't as big in some other sports, for you to put your body on the line as you do in the NFL.

In football/soccer, you could get away a little with some guys not going all out on everything. In the NFL, if we're fielding anyone who isn't fully ready to be there, it's going to show. The base requirement for being ready is bigger than in some other sports imo.

I've played football, and done a little pee wee coaching. While it is more violent and dangerous, it's also very intense mentally. Weezy is right in that regard, once you step across that sideline onto the field, you block out everything but what you're supposed to do after the playcall is made. Most of the time, you don't even notice the crowd. Obviously it's MUCH MUCH louder at a NFL game than high school, but still....
