- ricker2005, on 07/24/2010, -8/+241Hooray! We're a few comments in and already people have started the moronic argument about football vs rugby. If you're trying to argue that athletes of either sport are pussies, the real pussy is probably you.
Rugby = Large men hit each other. No pads so people get really hurt.
Football = Large men hit each other. Defenders wear pads, so they hurl themselves full speed at opponents and people get really hurt. - kazsymonds, on 07/24/2010, -2/+129Shut up.
Badminton is better than chess. - schemax, on 07/24/2010, -3/+124"this sport is better than that sport" comments are retarded...
- wontonforevuh, on 07/24/2010, -7/+102Soccer (football) is a gentleman's sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen.
- dibbkd, on 07/24/2010, -1/+52Yo dawg, I heard you liked a buzz so we put a buzz in your BUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- riseinhell, on 07/24/2010, -5/+56You can't just hit other players in Rugby. You have to make an attempt to wrap your hand around them and bring them to the ground. In football, you can hit a guy as hard as you can to make him fall down.
That's why, while football players wear pads, both sports are almost equally painful. - Pepitone, on 07/24/2010, -3/+46Anyone calling football or rugby players pussies are morons and probably never played a contact sport.
- Barbo2003, on 07/24/2010, -3/+40Rugby, a game for peo - BBBZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzzZZZZzzzzZZZZ....
- srgordy, on 07/24/2010, -8/+38yet your government censors things we let our 13 y/o's watch.
- Djayness, on 07/24/2010, -39/+64This always comes up and its true :p
- xDcSx, on 07/24/2010, -10/+30American Football players are much larger and often faster than rugby players. (Especially the size:speed ratio of many linebackers and hard-hitting safeties). In addition, the layer of padding provides a sort of psychological wall that results in players hitting far harder with the general motion of throwing their entire body and momentum at the opposition. This is also probably what leads to a large number of head injuries and problems throughout the career of many NFL players.
SportsScience's test measured an NFL player hitting 3x harder than a rugby player. The Rugby player, however, was only a semi-professional, but I think 3x is enough of a difference to say that they hit significantly harder. The pads obviously spread out the impact over the body instead of in one spot.
I think it's fair to say both sports are brutal. - SneakytheThief, on 07/24/2010, -1/+21BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*ackGLUGLUGLUGLUGGLUGLUG
- darkzealot89, on 07/24/2010, -8/+24HEY at least we can all agree in both sports at least the players don't fall over and start some super drama like Soccer players.
I'm sure we can all agree that Rugby and Football are both superior sports to Soccer. - ModeSeven, on 07/24/2010, -19/+35 American Football, a game for people too much of a pussy to play Rugby.
- julesx, on 07/24/2010, -0/+16calvinball.
- davidwmfc, on 07/24/2010, -1/+16Hey look at me I judge sports based on the supposed masculinity of its participants! Sport X is for pussies! Sport Y is for REAL TOUGH MANLY MEN! (I'm not gay or anything, honest)
- Phocion55, on 07/24/2010, -11/+26Played football for 6 years, rugby for 8 years - and I tend to agree.
But regardless, my body now hates me either way. - SyuRi, on 07/24/2010, -5/+20vuvuzela is not a football equipment.
- ObeseOstrich, on 07/24/2010, -2/+16My sport > your sport > his sport and so forth
- Chrysalii, on 07/24/2010, -8/+21and you brought this up why?
- pinnacleoflogic, on 07/24/2010, -1/+13xDcSx, i liked your comment but the sportscience test was completely erroneous, with so many variables unaccounted for that the percentage error of that experiment would've been sky-high. there wasn't even a controlled variable. the two players were tackling different things.
- unfather, on 07/24/2010, -3/+15UFC wasn't built for grappling, grappling was built for fighting.

- kazsymonds, on 07/24/2010, -1/+9I can relate.
- Djayness, on 07/24/2010, -10/+18If I want to run 10 yards in padding and then stop every 3 minutes to have a team strategy talk, id play american football.
- Stuntaneous, on 07/24/2010, -1/+7lol, league.
no. - slipperyottter, on 07/24/2010, -1/+7it depends which country you live in
- DeadSkinMask, on 07/25/2010, -1/+6Yeah, who the hell needs entertainment?
Let's just get rid of the theater & live music while we're at it.... - dibbkd, on 07/24/2010, -0/+5Rough like you're mother likes it.
- theNEOone, on 07/24/2010, -1/+6Um, clearly whoever created this did not actually go to South Africa. This was occurring on the streets of Cape Town nearly every day.
- srgordy, on 07/24/2010, -0/+5Watching people from all over the world argue about which is the best way for grown men to run around outside playing with a little ball is almost fun.
- Fungo, on 07/24/2010, -0/+5Y = curling
- redraven9, on 07/24/2010, -0/+5I'm sorry that buzz is too late
-Alex Trebek - LDrummerAX, 23 hr 2 min ago, -1/+6It's a totally different game, dude. The only similarity is that they play with an oval shaped ball. But hey, continue your trolling for opportunities to hate on all things American. It's cool
- Nihilius, on 07/24/2010, -11/+15Amercian Football is ballet compared to Rugby.
- Fungo, on 07/24/2010, -0/+4Actually, he'll still be making that noise, just from a different orifice.
- fifeslife, on 07/24/2010, -3/+7Just another day on the streets of Amsterdam
- TheBiochemist, on 07/24/2010, -0/+3Really? I wasn't quite sure.
- Stuntaneous, on 07/24/2010, -29/+32we aussies find it hilarious to see you guys decked out in what amounts to body armour, like you can't take a hit.
- DocHoliday22, on 07/24/2010, -19/+22American Football Players shield their bodies with protective gear.
Rugby players shield their bodies with Epic Levels of Manliness. - alasdairmacl, on 07/24/2010, -0/+3This was taken in South Africa, they are wearing Blue Bulls tops.
- suite307, on 07/24/2010, -2/+5This isn't titled Rugby is better than "X", it's Rugby found a way to use vuvuzelas without people wanting to punch your face in because you're a loud obnoxious african.
