Yeah, my wife gets terrified every time I do a full roll when my legs get swept.
I keep trying to explain to her it's safer, but w\e.

I'd say at least 5 or 6 with Badger leading the charge with a "grass hockey" comment.
I get what you were saying about tackling, and those I can understand. I've seen some fairly ugly face plants and have seen what generates a red card.  I've seen many "close, but no contact" injuries that have stopped play the would be impossible to see real time, but I've also seen a few that were so blatantly faked that I could hardly believe what I saw.
Like the last one in this video:

Blatant dives in the box are typically yellow carded. Although if the ref wants play to continue they wouldn't card the player then, they'd wait for play to stop and then go back and card them. Did you watch till play stopped to see if the player was restrospectively carded?
Yeah, it played through, no card. After he realized play wasn't gonna stop he jumped up and sprinted down to the other end of the field to where play had transitioned.

I don't think anyone is saying players don't flop. It's just that what is really flopping is often narrower than what people think is flopping. People who are used to watching american football often don't realize how different things are when you are going at people's feet with your feet instead of at their torso with your arms.
edit: P.S. You can see some of the players in that video getting carded for their flops. I'm sure a lot of the others were too and it just wasn't in the video.

"European Football"
There is no such.
Well, had I called it "football" then this thread would be filled with patriot comments, oh, wait.. never mind.
Maybe I should have used (soccer) or Non-American Football football fans, I as a question.

chicken feet are one of those things I don't really get. They arn't particularly tasty so why eat them if you don't have to?
