At least Football has some connection to the name. You kick a ball with only your feet, and try to shoot it in the opposing goal while avoiding the enemy team.

American Football however... you run forward holding and tossing a oval shaped ball with your hands while every enemy player tries to wrestle you to the ground so they can start running towards the other side. very phew times you acually try to kick the ball.

Speaking of American football, I shoulda joined the Middle School team...

I can plow someone down with my 180 pounds of... Organs, muscle, flesh, fat.. What else do we have in us? I can do ~50 pushups, and run pretty fast.. I shoulda joined

I've only played one game of american football... about 3 years ago, I think. It's a ghey game, IMO. Too much arbitrary stuff that's a PITA to bother remembering. Every other sport, it's just "put X in Y" for a point. But no! Not football! Everything's gotta be 2's and 7's and huts and hoys and whatever the h*** they've come up with. Tennis is retarded too, or at least its scoring system is. Proper football/soccer is the only game I play, and only if it's full-contact, no-penalty soccer I always play defense since that's the guy that gets to pretty much plow anyone into the ground that comes near his side of the field.

At this point in my life I very much regret not joining my high school's football team... due to my size I was actively recruited by the coach, but declined.

I currently think of this as one of the greatest mistakes in my life.

You agreed to follow our rules here no matter what they be when you clicked the "accept" button that granted you access to our private forum server. There is no freedom of speech here, only privilege of speech. Effectively you're going up to a janitor, squatting down and plopping a shit on the floor right infront of him, and then telling him to not worry about cleaning it up because it's his job. Except in this case the janitor can ban you.

Dude, catch me anywhere where I'm not in charge of dealing with this kind of crap and you'll be competing with me, not arguing against me, but here it's my job, so don't bitch about it, I have no sympathy, ok?

Actually there are several deaths each year from rugby. Truth is, American football players would HAVE to change their playing style if they didnt have full body armor. For example, head to sternum tackles without a helmet would result in atleast concussion and more likely a brocken neck and death. People play the way they do in rugby because they know that if they let themselves get tackled in the wrong position they are going to break something.

On another note, I highly recommend playing either rugby or American football for either a school or club team.

I bet most people in the US don't even know what rugby is, but those who do could probably tell you that it is just the pansy european version of football. I mean, a sport that has womens' leagues can't be nearly as hard core as football.

GO VIIKINGSS!!!11! WHO CARES THATR YOU LOST 3 IN A ROW!!! IT'S LIKE HOW IT WAS EVERY OTHER YEAR!!! PACKERS SUCK!!! THEY ONLY WON BY LUCK!!!1

Have you seen those woman rugby players up close? I'm pretty sure they would snap anyone that posts here. I play rugby and I sure as hell wouldnt be caught playing against those so called "woman". Seriously they are closer to giants with breasts then woman with muscles.

As for being a pansy sport, I'd like to see American football players play rugby with no padding and rugby players play football with padding. I think you'd find that they would be almost identical in playing style.

Rugby is football without padding and football is rugby with padding. Its that simple.

Anyhow thats my attempt at a unbiased rant from a biased person.

You should say this to your enemy:

"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!"

I currently think of this as one of the greatest mistakes in my life.

You mean besides being a pinko capitalist?

Coming from you that's an honor.
