  • Comment - I agree, it's an important American sport, but the picture is pretty blurry, especially when compared to sharper photos with faster-moving subjects.-129.170.50.27 11:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose - a bit blurry for my liking, even if it is an action shot. And I see JPG artifacts, too. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 14:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose blury. It is interesting that we dont have many really good sports shots considering they are some of the most photographed events. -Fcb981 15:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• I suspect that's because the quality of sports photography we'd expect for FP requires a very fast lens and access to the touch-line (rugby terminology... what do they call it in American Football?), which is pretty much reserved to pro sports photographers whose livelihood depends largely on them not releasing their work under free licences. --YFB ¿ 18:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
