in american football they protection gear they wear stuff that makes them look a lot stronger the same cannot be said about rugby players

Yes! Of course Rugby's a man's game. I play it myself! American football is just a load of people running around, getting hit occassionally. Plus the fact that you could score just by kicking the ball into the touch area throws tactic out the window. It's sissy-ish enough without the pads.

Rugby is much more tactical. You have to think how you can get around or through the other team, sneakily or forcefully. It's much more fast-paced too. Football keeps stopping whenever something happens. In rugby, you get over there as fast as you can and shove that guy off or take the pass/kick or push harder than even before to get that ball into the your teams hands. Rugby's a war, fighting with eveything you've got to get that ball down on the floor in your hands. There are injuries, frantic dashes and brutal tackles.

Throw the pads away pansies and take it like a man.

I hate football (Am.), so sure, what the hell.

They should play afl cuz its a real ***** game

Rugby is for sissies and they need no protective gear because they don't hit hard. Rugby players wouldn't make it in American Football.

and who watches rugby?
I'm sure they are real softies with the multi million dollar contracts
rugby is for the ignorant and the stupid

Both sports are a tough job but the guys that tests electric chairs to see if they work has an even tougher job.

Coach

Make that Rugby League. ;) Ouch!

American football players are much bigger, and stronger, and faster than rugby player, ans soccer players. Soccer is a game that requires a lot of running, but not much else. Rugby is a game with a lot of guys holding on to each other.
There is no rugby or soccer player in the world who can stand up to a football player like Derrick Brooks or DeMarcus Ware, they are faster than soccer & rugby players, and they can hit like high-speed freight train.

How many Rugby guys are 6''5' 270 and run 40 yards in under 5 seconds...I would have to say none....Take a full on hit from one of those guys...And tell me you could handle it with out pads...If they didn't have pads in american football people would be getting killed seriously...

Go ask all the NFL players who have been paralyzed playing American Football, such as Mike Utley, if it is for softies.

I've played rugby and America football and although you get hit in both...rugby is close, low speed collisions vs. high speed collisions in Am football.

In my life...the top 5 "hits" I've ever had in my life have all come on an American football field.

I would of disagreed with you 20 years ago, when Football was a man's sport. But now there are to many rules and plenties.

Rugby is a mans game for sure.

american football players would kill rugby players regardless of how hard they hit and protection i would be my life on american football

Your looking at it all wrong... American Football is so physical they have to wear protective gear, Rugby on the other hand, isn't as dangerous so they don't need all that stuff.

No I don't.
