i mean seriouly,the guys have like 50 pounds of protective gear on. an a "play" lasts all of 5 seconds while a time out is like 30 seconds long an usually is along the lines of :"give me the ball an i'll pass it to the open guy"
then the pass doesn't work an another time out happens "OK that didn't work....this time give me the ball an i'll run with it"
personally i think rugby is WAY better an actually needs guts to play ,cause u don't have armor protecting every millimeter of ur body.
opinions: which is better rugby or football?
-
all you people do is bash american sports. and football is better
-
"all you people do is bash american sports"
not all american sports....just football,i kinda like baseball an sumtimes watch.....what other american sports r there ? basketball is canadian right?
-
I agree... I think rugby is a better sport.. Wouldnt say American Football is for wussys but i defo like rugby more.... and i also love to play too

Yeah i played that sport a couple of times, to.
But its not for kids, cuz when 3 dudes jump up on you and you dont even have any helmet on (i dint, lol) then it aint that funny.
-
Lets see you play football?
I bet you if you tell any NFL player that football is a wussy sport, I'd bet you that they would either beat the crap out of you or they would put you in the equipment and make you take a hit from John Lynch or any other NFL player.
You'd be in the hospital for a while.
-
even though I dont like the NFL.....these guys are monsters...and you need the protection or else one of those LB tackles can kill ya
-
"even though I dont like the NFL.....these guys are monsters...and you need the protection or else one of those LB tackles can kill ya"
they r monsters ,but have u seen sum rugby players?i mean damn they'll make sum NFL players become human speed bumps...an they still don't wear protective gear
"I bet you if you tell any NFL player that football is a wussy sport, I'd bet you that they would either beat the crap out of you or they would put you in the equipment and make you take a hit from John Lynch or any other NFL player."
fine ,i'm not affraid of a beat down, then after they attack me an i leave the hospital i'll sue theyr overpayed asses an become a millionaire ;D, an fact is of course I'LL get injured by a tackle from an NFL player cause i'm not pumping steroids into my body on a daily basis,or working out for like 16 hours a day..
"But its not for kids, cuz when 3 dudes jump up on you and you dont even have any helmet on (i dint, lol) then it aint that funny."
deffinately not , i been tackled many times an it's not exactly what u would call "quality time" lol

oh god you foriegners must have small penises and ignorant minds or something becuase most American Football players respect rugby and or like it. Flat out .....if you strapped up some austrailian rugby dude up, and put him up against peeps like mike vick and ray lewis , he'd get JUST AS FUCKED UP ! the reason why american football players wear pads is becuase
1. football, unlike rugby, isn't meant to be THAT violent. it's more strategic , it's like chess. all those plays are like a chess players moves. again, i don't get how you "educated" european peeps can say americans are dumb when we appreciate a sport centered around wit.
2. football is a family sport. kids growing up play it, like me. when i was in the 6th grade i started playing. as a parent do you want your kids playing with a great chance of getting hurt. as a kid do you want to play gay ass 2 hand touch? answer to both is NO. so the best way to meet in the middle is pads
3. professionally and collegantly , it's going to maintain your team. do you think the dallas cowboys would've gotten far if troy aikman got a concussion EVERY GAME and not 1 time a season. hell naw. and as a fan, would you rather see your favorite player play as much as he can? hell yeah.
4. what does more violence prove? nothing really , all you're proving is that you feel the need to prove your man hood ::)
5. the athletes we got playing in the NFL, are A WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE lot bigger better and nastier than any pro rugby player, that's on the real, i'd LOVE to see some rugby players go head up with our best , on the reall you ain't seeing us. and it definately doesn't help you're argument when quite a few NFL players also play rugby too.
both are respectable sports , they really are but when you break down the 2 football is absolutely the overall better sport
if you wanna call it wussy .....get on the field and take a hit from warren sapp

lol word.. I had fat lips, pulled hamstrings n shit.. and i wasnt even playin 4 team
I aint dissin football im jus sayin that i dont like to watch it.. i aint neva played it cause i dont really get it (lol) i know for a fact them guys are monsters too.
-
"if you wanna call it wussy .....get on the field and take a hit from warren sapp"
oh god...again with the take a tackle from guy "X" an see how that feels.......look fact is i'm not dissin the players i'm dissin the conditions they play in. i mean come on i'm not gonna say a 600 pound guy is NOT a monster because he is.
look at it this way,if "warren sapp" tackled u while u were wearing a football uniform would it hurt as much as it would if u were wearing a rugby uniform?No. chances r a tackle in rugby from warren sapp would CRUSH ur ribs.but in football the effect is much less damaging.....
therefore football is a wussy sport compared to rugby.
cause well if 3 guys fall on u in football u got a helmet to protect ur face,but in rugby it could easily leave u fucked up,just ask my cousin,he ended up with a broken nose an a black eye .....an he was playing with sum 14 year olds.
I agree football is more strategy based blah blah blah
"the athletes we got playing in the NFL, are A WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE lot bigger better and nastier than any pro rugby player"
again ...not dissing the players i'm dissing the conditions they play in.
Personally i find footabll too slow ,an the plays r too short to enjoy.
"oh god you foriegners must have small penises and ignorant minds or something becuase most American Football players respect rugby and or like it"
what does penis size have anything to do with this..it seems u americans pull out the "ur penis must be small" card everytime u feel offended...
an so what if NFL players respect an or like rugby? is this thread titled "NFL players r disrespecting Rugby"?no
"LoL I lost count of how many times topics like these have been made in Sports and Entertainment."
well sports an entertainment has been boring with the 100 hulk hogan threads so i thought i'd revisit an old classic "diss american sports" it's sure to piss ppl off an hey bad emotion is better than no emotions
-
i take the only games have watched have been super bowls of the past. an umm u say there is a time out every play. im possible considering you only get 3 time outs a half
-
it aint even worth tryin to break it down to these foreignors
Not getting involved in the main argument but Tom you're a foreigner on this board, remember what country runs this
-
lmao what do u think backyard football is ..we don't wear pads to play in the yard.We tackle just as hard and hit just as hard a rugby players do when we play with our friends.Have u ever seen anyone play with the friends on a saturday with pads on?...
-
rugby is hard shit to play i used to play it
-
Ray Lewis or John Lynch could kill any rugby with one of those hard hits they give every game.
-
rugby sux.... im out!!!
-
Ray Lewis or John Lynch could kill any rugby with one of those hard hits they give every game.
You couldn't name 5 rugby players without using a search engine so how do you know?
-
From what I've seen, they don't hit as hard as guys like Lewis & Lynch. And most of the guys in the NFL have the strengh and size advantage big time.
Name me 3 rugby players.

Word... and for the record "american football" is NOT a wussy sport... not even close too it...
-
yeah rugbys alright but rugby league is wayyy better
Btw Jonah Lomu will use american football players like a doormat
-
Which sport is "tougher".... Rugby
Overall better sport (entertainment wise and fun to play)..... Football
P.S. Football is not a wussy sport at all. Like someone else mentioned, those guys are huge and without the protection there could be some fatal injuries.
-
Yeah a Rugby player could use a guy like Warren Sapp as a doormat. Right Sapp can take out a rugby player with one hit.

personally i think rugby is WAY better an actually needs guts to play ,cause u don't have armor protecting every millimeter of ur body.
opinions: which is better rugby or football?
they are far bigger, and far faster then rugby players. They take far more blindside hitz then them, and do u understand...that if they have pads on, theres a reason for it? If they didnt have pads, with the size and speed of these guys...there would be at least one paralyzed player per game, guarenteed.
As for the length of the playz, football...unlike rugby...has a high amount of strategy involved. If u see the playbookz used by the average offense on a NFL team, its like a foot thick. And everyone has to memorize the book.
To me, when i see Rugby on tv...it just looks like a bunch of mindless idiots running around aimlessly, bumping into eachother. Its a game that kids play out here when their about 8-10 yrs old lol.
I wouldnt attack Rugby, but u attacked Football...so fukit.

which is why football players wear padding because in the early part of the last century so many fatalities were happening, even now alot of players are cripples after 10 years or so in the league. They live with pain everyday for playing such a brutal sport.
Also the fact is there are monsters but not only that but they are great athletes, who run faster than a 300+ pound person should humanly possibly be able to.
-
Do you know how fast some of these 300=Lbs run their 40 time in 4.7 seconds. How many of you can run the 40 in under 5 seconds?
-
Rugby players u see on british or american tv are probably some skinny no talent ass players but down in australia and new zealand most rugby players are pacific islanders and they are generally stronger and bigger than any other race and thats a fact
-
Have you seen some of those guys that come out of Sweden and Finland? I would say that they are the biggest and the strongest (naturally) because notice the fact that it's the Swedish or Finish guy who usually win the World's Strongest Man Contest. That's A Fact

Who's the best Rugby team in the world? England.

Bow Down tried to say Australia and New Zealand. Even though we whipped them in their own backyards a month ago

What you just said makes no sense. Learn English.
-
Wait till the world cup man then we will see whos better. Jay ay bee are you honestly saying that english players are more talented than players from the southern hemisphere just because england won 2 games down here

Soccer is gay, that's why everytime they score a goal they do those stupid celebrations. Football is a real man's sport. And also chicks dig the football player, not the soccer player.
p.s. Handball is taking a ball and bouncing it against a wall with your hand.
