Actually, the highest scorer of all time in American football ( Morten Andersen ) is a kicker - and a Dane. ( a Great Dane )
In his professional career he scored 2,544 points - which I believe is more than have been scored in the entire history of soccer ;-)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
