    What's the difference between AFL and NFL?

    Is it just a lower level of the NFL? Are the players as well known and whats the average wage?
    I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

    Are you watching Manchester United? Are you watching Chelsea? This is Liverpool F.C taking over the bloody world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If by AFL you mean the Arena Football League then it's an indoor version of NFL, played on a smaller pitch so the scoring is much higher. There are other differences but a lot of them stem from making the game more suitable to the smaller sized field of play.

      I think the AFL was a rival league that merged with the NFL some time in the late sixties.

      It formed the basis of the AFC and the old NFL teams became the NFC.

      So the Superbowl was effectively a playoff between the winners of the two leagues (although IIRC it wasn't actually called the Superbowl until later).
      .
      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



      May the Lord bless this post.

        I thought AFL was a little bit faster as well??
