Every single player who says football is like war would jump into a fox hole and whine for his Mama if faced with incoming.
Man, I hate artificial bravado when it denigrates people who actually demonstrate real bravery by comparison. Or, in this case, even people who have lived through war, just surviving it or reporting on it as an embedded journalist.
Right there with you. Comparing football to war always grates on me, and on my fellow veterans. Sure, football is a violent game, and needs courage and a strong will to play it, to tough it out. But it doesn't come with the risk of death that even peacetime military service has.
