Well, according to your post, the smarter players who don't buy into hype only play woodsball. I have played woodsball quite a few times, but I prefer speedball. Is it not at all possible that some people may find speedball more fun? Maybe some of us dislike playing in the woods. That in no way means we're "buying into the hype". And last time I checked, APG was one of the last magazines that actually still heavily promotes woods play.
On the cheating issue, I've seen just as much if not even more in woods play then I have on my local speedball fields. It's a lot easier to wipe in the woods, and I see people take advantage of it all the time.
Your football example is a little flawed. What you said is more like a player running down the field, getting lit up, then bunkering two people on the opposing team. I very rarely see this. All sports have cheaters, live with it. It may suck, but there's not much you can do to change it.
I also find this funny. Speedball and woods both contain plenty of elements the other does not possess. When was the last time back players filled up lanes on the break in a woods game? Oh that's right, never. In general, speedball games do have more intense "firefights". I'm sure this doesn't have to explained to anyone who's played both (this in no way makes it a superior game though). Both require careful planning for a team to be successful. Anyone who has played tournaments knows the critical importance of walking the field and carefully planning out the game before it's played. Woodsball also requires strategy.

Speedball contains no elements woods ball lack (fire fights are just as intense just further between), however, speedball strips away most of the intricacies that make woodsball what it is.
