So I am watching American football.........
This game is for pussies, they're all wearing body armor. Sorry, rugby opened my eyes in Europe. LOL
I'm just teasing, ya'll. Brad |

I love Rugby but I also love the Steelers.

LOL yeah 300lb NFL linemen running a under 5 second 40's with no pads = death.

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Rugby is a much tougher sport. No equipment and they are built like brickshit houses.

You can go back and forth all day on this one. Both are incredibly tough sports. Rugby athletes are more fit, because their is more running involved. NFL is more brutal, because of the collisions. Saying one is tougher than the other is splitting hairs in my opinion. |

They're losing teeth in rugby. I can't wait to tell my country inlaws.

Put any rugby team against an American NFL team and new laws will be passed, because WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO SCRAPE THE DEAD AUSSIES AND BRITS OFF THE FIELD? Who is gonna clean up all of that blood? The Americans will have to ship in a bunch of Chinese and Indians to scrape up THAT mess.
Even if the Americans are wearing no "armor", foreigners WILL DIE on the field. I think that is a proven fact. There's already laws against pussies facing off against real atheletes. It was sworn into law because not a single chicken shit country (besides Canada - ROFL) has fielded a team against an NFL team. Most of our Canada's football players are American, so we have a grudging, mutual respect arrangement... The Americans won't kill their fellow countrymen, their friends, or young atheltes. Works out nice for our little league. Outsiders, though... ROFL!!! Initiate a challenge. Bring your beloved 100% Gay Man Melbourne Homosexual Tongue Suckers to Texas, and stage an exhibition game againt the Longhorns. Not the Cowboys (Why would the Cowboys waste their time? I think they'd rather laugh at your sad atheletes while watching television and drinking beer...). The Longhorns will still kill every member of your pansy rugby team - by accident. They won't mean to do it - people will just die because they weigh about 100lbs less than than the massive men driving them into the dirt. Quote:
The fucking Blue Jays would beat the absolute living shit out of any rugby player that thought they were a real athelete. We might have not much of baseball team anymore, but if you get cocky you're getting 90MPH fastballs aimed at your head. Sorry, naked rugby players are one step (barely) above soccer players on the toughness scale. I'd put Roger Federer and Venus Williams WAY above any rugby or soccer player on the toughness scale. NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, ATP (I could go on) are so far beyond your little niche sport its not even funny. No. Rugby players would die playing against and NFL team, an NBA team, or an NHL team. I am laughing so hard I just wet my pants!!! Seriously. OMFG! Naked rubgy might be a tough sport where you are from - but don't even try to compare it to North American sports. Fucking Danica Patrick would beat the living shit out of your "toughest" "athelete" (and that's a LOT of quotes...) P.S. I KNOW you were just teasing, Brad. So am I. |
To add insult to injury; we don't even celebrate the injuries of the opposite team anymore. American football HAS lost its brutality.
Patrice O'neal hit's the nail on the head here: |

The NFL player's hit was equivalent to a 35 mph car crash |

Fucks sake - use your brains It's not even scientific - two tests run completely different with completely biased people running it. If I was in the states making a video like this what would I do hmmm? 1. Grab a professional NFL player 2. Grab a selection of amateur local rugby players Either way it doesn't really matter to me who is tougher, but use your fucking brains and think rather than just taking on board the absolute BULLSHIT that is laid out on a platter for you. |

The guy is even smaller than the rugby players, yet still manages to hit 3x as hard WITH PADS ABSORBING THE IMPACT. How can you argue against that? PS: I hate football. |
I'm really at a loss as to why anyone watches american football (leaving aside the stupid name - i mean come on, you guys couldnt even think of a proper name for the "sport" and had to nick the name of the worlds most popular sport instead) it seems like nothing more than one long (long .... very, very long) advert for weak american beers. The few games i managed to watch for more than a few minutes were ten seconds of action sandwiched between adverts and even then the "sport" was shown in a letterbox on the screen showing more adverts around the edges.
Rugby is loads better for the simple facts they pass more than once, play for a full 40 minutes per side without any real stops (not even for injuries - the physio's work around the action) and dont wear any camp armour. |

What i'm trying to say is the show was created with 100% bias because if it were not then all the mindless NFL fans would go crazy. I would be interested if they did it properly, however the show was created with a specific audience in mind. |
This is an easy one.
If you asked me whether I wanted to take a hit from a professional rugby player or a professional american football player, to to me the answer is obvious ... ... ... ... ... ... No thanks! |
this is why they wear "armor"
not even the players want to be on the end of some of these hits https://youtube.com/watch?v=hCTyEmvvZJo |
so why did the rugby guy get to hit a real person, but the football player have to hit a dummy?

Tests were performed by amater v pro - different test - different methods of measuring force....... |
My father died when was I was nine months old, and later on my mother remarried to a guy from Belgium. He had zero interest in American sports. I played basketball from grade school up to through high school, but never once played football.

...when I said I was tired.. well, we just proved it. In all seriousness, I was just shocked watching one of those games. I respect the difficulty of both sports, was never particularly good at any myself. Brad |
My dad was killed by a Rugby player wearing a Santa Claus suit.

I dunno man!
I went to a training camp and you're right next to em and shakin hands. They are big and yoked the fuck out ;) I would never in a million years call em pussies tho. |
