NDRU said: razor said: American football = rugby for girls
haha, sure it is! I'm guessing you only say that because you know so little about it. It's more physical contact chess. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

razor said: Byron said: I don't think he's implying anything...I think he's saying it outright lol.  you really believe that?! Believe me, I've played both. Your version is so soft. Always makes me chuckle when you guys think its this game for hard guys. lol The goals of the game and the methods used to achieve those goals are different. Football is not for wimps and sissies, and yes I know, neither is rugby. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

razor said: Moonbeam said:  Minimizing the risk of personal injury does not make a sport any less tough. I've watched a lot of rugby here in Australia, and while I don't really understand all the rules, I do enjoy it. That said, the athletes rarely (if ever) reach the same speed as those who play American football, because the contact is fairly continuous. It would be barbaric to play American football without protective gear.no, it would be rugby.. No it would not be rugby. You act as if the same rules, goals and aims apply to both sports and they don't. My guess is you are more likely to be paralyzed, seriously injured or killed playing American football with pads than rugby without. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Flowerz said: razor said: golf is the possibly the hardest sport of them all... nothing hard... but like the title of the thread says.... a person getting ridiculous money for that makes no sense ... Try playing golf. it is a lot harder than it looks. Even harder to do and look graceful. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

superman said: Moonbeam said: How so? I hate to sound like Bill Cosby but don't poor ghetto kids have better things to spend their money on than Air Jordans? Uh you don't buy Air Jordans to play basketball in! You were Payless for playing in unless you can afford to buy two pair of Jordan's everytime they come out. That surely isn't hindering the economy, more like boosting it. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

razor said: MotoPsycho said: Are you serious? I never post here and had to for that quote. Have you ever heard of a little league called the NHL? I'm a diehard college football fan, but even I admit that it's (hockey) a "tougher" sport on the body, protective gear means nothing. And there are plenty of American's that play it... I imagine trying to play football or rugby or whatever on ice skates traveling 30 miles an hour down a rink while people are trying to check you into boards is a bit more intense than running with a rubber ball. And I happen to love ALL sports, so I'm not not putting any of them down. I'm just a girl with an opinion, though... Ice Hockey is the best you can do?! any game where you yanks feel the need to dress up like Richard the 1st. Like I said, try rugby union or aussie rules, or many of the Irish games. These are tought sports... You are having so much fun with your faux superiority. You keep baiting me to get nationalistic up in here . . . . But you just flapping . . Have your fun until you piss me off. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

SUPRMAN said: razor said: Any american sport. Especially the ones where they claim to be world champions... Who is going to challenge the NFL? No argument that the winner of the SuperBowl is world champion. That's because no one plays it! the rest of the world recognises it as a sport driven by the need for commercial breaks, not talent.World champions. lol! is there an actault sport (aside from athletics) at which the US can claim to be genuine (as opposed to self-titled lol) world champions?

My guess is you are more likely to be paralyzed, seriously injured or killed playing American football with pads than rugby without. Your guess?! I've played both and the differenc is n the average game of gridiron you come off with no bruises (although the chance for serious injury is there). In the average game of rugby you come off aching all over, whilst still having the chance of a serious injury. you guys go for looks over substance. its your culture.

He said he would Not play it without his Gridiron gear Some ver big, solid boys play rugby and If I were a guy I personally wouldnt want one of them slamming into me without some padding
I've also heard a few AMericans that live here think we are nuts to play Aussie Rules Football without Protection....I disagree...Aussie rules is a pussy sport compared to Gridiron and Rugby. PRINCE IS WATCHING U  " When an Artist Creates, whatever they create belongs to society"
