A wild fight from the sensation sweeping across the nation and the internet alike, 40U football, has gone viral online, as you would expect.
The NFL is undoubtedly the most popular sports league in the United States. Still, several other leagues exist, including the Arena League, which produced a crazy highlight that put a punter on show at the worst possible moment.
40U has been growing in popularity, especially on Twitter/X, where a video has popped up and shows a fight stemming from one player attempting to take an opponent’s head off of his shoulders in coverage.
It resulted in a scrap, with helmets being swung.
Check it out below:

“I guess every sport has a men’s league or certain folks in a men’s league that take it way too seriously. You should see some of the ice hockey men’s league clips😭😭,” one comment read.

40U football, and its little brother, 37U football, feature older players who are past it, having played high school or college ball, though not necessarily.
While they aren’t believed to play for money, they leave everything out there, going hard and risking injury.
One 60-year-old unc is believed to have torn his ACL playing in 37U competition, although we can’t be sure why he was even allowed to mix it up with the younger guys.
