Rugby is boss, what are you talking about?

1. Cannot go through a single game without a concussion
2. It's just complicated
3. Requires no strategy; If you can run through a big crowd of people and not fall down, you win
4. By far overrated

Looolll, grade football is a joke up until you hit highschool, you're better off running and then getting punched in the gut once a day. They can't push you to the limits they do in highschool.

The limits? Allow me to elaborate;

I was a wide reciever, during hell week, there were 3 trash cans out on the field. One on the 50 and one in each endzone. The coach had me get into my full pads, except the helmet and run until I puke. Once I puke, then do 100 up downs without any breaks. Oh then? This ones not too bad, run hurdles until you puke there's a catch though there are 4 line men along the field you have to evade.


It was the best weeks of my life.
