OH hockey more skill faster pace. The sport of football is to lay as much punshishment and humiliation on the dude that got layed out cause, he is compiltly in-fuehrer to your size and ability. I've played both and even rugby, but football is the best, and most destructive. Big Hits=ladies, goal in hockey=diddle shit. Plus hockey is played on skates, of course it'll be faster. And dont say hockey has bigger hits either i played both and football delivers way more punishment play for play, landig on the ice isnt anything compared by getting hit by three defensive linemen each weighing over 250 and benching 3 times your body wieght.
