Why Basketball is a Superior Sport to Football

I'll keep this brief and outline three reasons that I believe basketball is better:

1. Football players must wear helmets, and can thus never earn unique dinosaur, bond villain, or rapper comparisons.
2. Although football may considered more of a "thinking man's game", whatever that is supposed to mean (Hi Zuck), the ability to quickly change strategy and tactics in basketball allows for a more dynamic in-game experience. Yes, football has the advantage of more plays, more players, and more degrees of freedom so to speak, but this complexity also adds a level of obscurity. If a coach wants to make an adjustment, he probably has to do so relatively slowly through a number of coordinators and secondary coaches. In basketball, these changes can occur in a matter or seconds.
3. Basketball will eventually ruin ankles and knees, joints and cartilage. Football will eventually ruin spines and necks, brains and lives. Vote basketball!
