when you say football i assume you're talking about grid iron, and i have to agree that it is bloody shithouse. reasons why include:1) the coaches all sit around and plan every single play. can't the players think for themselves? 2) when the ball goes to the other team everyone runs off the pitch and new dudes come on. why have seperate teams for attack and defence? 3) all that padding. fuck it off 4) there seem to be fat dudes whose whole job is to knock people over. and they make millions of dollars doing this. 5) spandex pants 6) you call it football, but the ball is mainly moved using your hands 7) varsity blues. worst movie ever. now real football (soccer to the retarded) is a sport worth getting excited about.

i call soccer football cause i know what its really all about (leeds united baby! god now works amongst the heathens!)
but yeah... dont know rugby. to play rugby you have to be fucking fast and fit - even scrumhalf players are fit! cause unlike helmetball, you dont switch sides and play is fairly constant.
besides, rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen. and, Jonah Lomu is fucking insane. i dare you to come up with an insult for him (hair jokes put aside...) the dude is huge, ripped and fast. scarey. of course, this maybe said for many kiwis...

Hockey: Who the fuck has ever seen a goal? Forget a fucking assist. It's a bucha guys named Jaques. Know what ice hockey needs? A 5000 pound puck. Two teams, East Coast, West Coast. They play one game. That's the season. Whatever ocean the puck ends up in is the winner. The announcer: "Hello, everybody, I'm here in Nebraska where the puck should be arriving almost any day now..." Fuck ice hockey. Tennis: Did you see Wimbledon last summer? I could never fugure out which Swede had the dirtiest hair. And the girls? They'd all double fault and frown at their mothers. Pro Basketball: the fucking season is ten months long, 4 thousand teams get into the playoffs, and all the arm-pits look alike. I'd rather watch cross country skiing. Pro baseball: I love it when they change pitchers. You can sit and sleep an hour. It's like watching fucking golf. Golf: Golf is a good game -- if you don't have to keep score. Nobody can identify with these guys on the tour. They all drive the ball 300 yards. Some blond guy makes a put. Another blond guy misses a put. Golf was fun when Arnold Palmer sweated through his shirt and chain-smoked. Boxing: ¿Habla espanol? Rugby: I gave my assesment above Football: Only real sport out there anymore. Your thinking that they're pussies for wearing pads? You start running in the open field and let Brian Urlacher come and smash you. Or try running a cross patern over the middle where you know John Lynch is sitting there ready to rip your head off. Toughest sons of bitches in sports.

you have to memorize a shitload of plays
believe it or not, rugby has some set plays as well. however in rugby, you also have to have finesse, creative instict and EXCELLENT field vision, especially if you are a forward. it applies even to the scrumhalf though. quote:
and be in good shape
not nearly as good as for rugby. in rugby there are no positions where you can just be a slow lumbering fatass (see most any NFL linemen). also, whats this about good shape? in helmet ball, you have an offensive and defensive squad, AND you get to break in between plays, not to mention the fact that your not ALWAYS running even DURING the plays. in rugby, you run almost as much as in soccer! if not equal amounts. i still say americna football is a horribley deformed and bastardised version of rugby. and really, it is.

what i hate most about football (american) is the stupid high school kids who think they are tougher than greased shit and cooler than an ice chest... its a PUSSY sport, indeed.
I play highschool football, I do not think that I'm tough as "greased shit" or that I'm any better than others because I play football. quote:

Actually most NFL linemen are pretty damn fast. I'm too lazy to do so right now, but look up some of their 40 yard dash times. I'm sure you'll be suprised. quote:

Actually after 3 years of highschool football, I have tested this thought. And it's true, in order to be a good player you need to have a good head on your shoulders. There are many players that I have encountered that were way bigger, stronger, and faster than me, but weren't smart enough to execute plays or react to the plays (if on defense). Whether you believe it or not, it takes a certain amount of intellegence to play the game well. My main reason of posting was to ask you all to stop with the jock stereotypes because it's bullshit. We don't all act the way you have come to believe by watching movies and TV. And if you do know someone that acts like his/her shit don't
stink because they play a sport, then screw them, because they are ruining all the hard work that athletes put into what they do.

one more thing. i know nothing about rugby, but have friends who play. i played baseball and hockey my whole life, so i know the most about those sports. just from talking to my friends who play the sport, i'm able to have respect for those who know it and do it well. doesn't mean i like it or want to go join some rugby club. i've heard them use comparisons to (american) football all the time. i still can't believe some people can't recognize the hard work and talent that goes into playing, in this case football, or any sport. i played hockey for 11 years, and a lot of the people i talk to know nothing about it and write it off as shit. screw em. just try and watch it and you might learn something, as with any sport.and vandal...high school football, or any sport for that matter, is not the epitomy of that competition on a mental or physical level. that's why probably 3/4 of varsity athletes can't play D-I sports.

And to even put them in the same LEAGUE as a football player from our school would be a joke. And I've watched many of the australian games on the TV. All I see are a bunch of slow white guys piling on top of each other everytime someone get's a ball. To compare rugby to football is a joke, in all honestly.
slow white guys... right...
lets keep stereotyping. its fun.
by the way, i am going to ohio state next year, and i grew up in columbus. theyve got a solid rugby program. its produced several eagles. i have known several players for them and the local club team (Scioto Valley RFC). theyre good guys. certainley not the dicks that several high school football players i know are. and your right, to compare football to rugby is a joke. football (american) is in all honesty a slowed down, defomred and bastardised version of rugby. read your history boy. rugby is the tougher sport as well. quote:

id be more afraid of Jonah Lomu, personally. hits dont hurt with pads. rugby is, by far, a rougher, harder, and certainly bloodier sport than football. it also requires more endurance, for certain, than american football. i will give you though, that some players in american football would be able to sprint faster than many rugby players, but then again, rugby certainly has its share of fast players. its also a sport which evokes more passion from its fans than football. and its able to be enjoyed on a multinational scale. its got everything that the NFL has only more.

At what point did sport, in any regard, become about the toughness of the player or the amount of blood? I figure this... If your sport involves a potential head injury and you choose not to wear a helmet, you are just plain dumb. Pads protect for a reason. There is no glorification for the guy who gets too injured to play because he chose not to wear safety equipment. If it's there wear it, if you don't you are not a better man and I hope you end up retared.Sports in general are for ENTERTAINMENT. To be enjoyed by whomever likes them. I love American Football. I think world football is boring as hell to watch. Good for me, bad for Vandal. Next. Rugby is chaos, plain and simple. If you feel the need to exthol the virtues of it, great, but it can't compare to American football. It would be like trying to compare a distance runner and a hurdler. Not the same thing. One is a structured game with set plays and positions, the other is a mad scramble with a lot of flying elbows. American footbal is not a bastardized version of anything. It is what it is. American Football. I love it, and if anyone from this bored would walk up to any NFL player and call them a big pussy to their face, I WOULD PAY TO SEE IT.
