I'd like to see any "men" you know who could take hits like these and just get up and continue playing.

Have fun getting rammed in the chest by a rock-hard "faggety-ass" helmet.


Wrong.

Pff, real men use their actual heads.

Most are bigger then those NFL ones.

Also lol @ get up and keep playing. Once they are tackled the game stops dead for a good 5 minutes before they have to even think about playing again.

No, dipshit the point of a helmet is so you can use your head without going braindead, like must rugby players. 90% of those vids were shoulder tackles, your shoulder isn't your head in case you didn't know. Whiplash or maybe a broken rib is the only thing those tackles inflict. The other tackles were the people getting picked up and flipped which would never happen in football unless you suck dick entirely.

Oh, I forgot after being whiplashed and dropped on their heads rugby players pop up and continue playing. Silly me.

Game stops for 40 seconds, but **** what you know, right?

Football, rugby, whatever... all of that shit will mess you up in the head after playing for awhile. Who gives a shit which is more hardcore?

watchin the blair witch project at the moment. this is the only movie that really freaked me the **** out...

Quote from Gavel

if all the players weren't ****ing brute force powerhouses

if they were as you say, "power houses" they could take their hits like a man and not wear protection.

Like real men.

I'm Australian.

I think the problem is that it's pretty clear that many of the foreigners that compare football to rugby have never actually watched a game of football. There certainly isn't "5 minutes" before they have to think about playing again.


The standard argument is that it's "rugby with armour", which is just ridiculous. They're called pads btw. Pictures for comparison:

The second thing wrong with that blanket statement is that it's not rugby. I know there are quite a few similarities, but the two sports are entirely different. I have a few friends that play rugby competitively, and a few of my relatives were professional rugby players. I've talked about it with them, and we've all pretty much agreed that there is no use trying to argue which is better because they are completely different. So basically: actually watch both sports and you will realize they're not that similar.

This. This annoys me. From my experience, 90% of the people who hate football have never watched a single play.

I watch it on TV when theres nothing better on.

Haters gonna hate.

I don't hate football.
