From the mouth of children comes the truth.

When people out side of this hobby think of this game they think of the man running around in a circles, this is the stereotype that is holding back this hobby.

Lets face the truth, and please understand,.........the game plays like rugby, not football. I know that there is a love for the game by all, but please, for the sake of the future take a look at this.

Now there should be, and needs tobe a change that will bring new people to this hobby and educate them that, " that wae the old way to play, but hear is another way ".

It is time to get your head out of the sand, stand tall and look to the future !

I ran a sweep with a pulling guard and he was amazed. Now they are hooked. They had the same outlook on this hobby as do alot of people. Turn the game on and watch the plastic football men carousel. We need to get out of that stereotype. Before standardization or rules or anything of that nature are ironed out, we need to educate on the breakthroughs and strides taken to make electric football a BETTER game than when we were kids.

I feel your "from the mouths of children" quote.

Remember my little nephew's reaction to the game, and that was with no prior football knowledge.
