Rugby vs. Football

[Aphtonites]

You're right, I'd love to break my neck under a bunch of 200 pound guys as they tackle me to the ground, I'm such a pusillanimous individual.

You sure are

Football = Pussies kicking a ball about
Rugby = Muddy men beating the stuff out of each other
Your arguments are invalid.

This lol.

Besides that I don't see the logical leap you made comparing rugby and football to boxing and MMA.
I play rugby, I do kickboxing, jiu jitsu, ninjutsu (specifically staff and unarmed techniques), considering taking up muay thai with my friend and I play hockey in the winter months. I love all of it.
They are completely different classes of sport and comparing one to the other is stupid. If anything it makes you look like a be-all idiot.

Also I have nothing against football or football players. They just have smaller richards is all.

I'd suggest MMA or any martial art over boxing.

funny that the only people who like rugby are the rugby playing losers LOL.

No it's just this forum is full of people from the US and american football is widely accepted as the sport of choice in... america.
There isn't even a football team here. There are like 8 rugby teams though. Rugby is much more worldwide.

Rugby is the second best sport in the world ;c

Never played Rugby but  I prefer American Football because of pads.

Anyways, playing sports is really beneficial. Thanks to wrestling and football practice I have improved so much in my strength, speed and endurance.

It's just a bunch of monkeys running across a field beating each other up.

And martial arts is two guys in a ring beating the stuff out of each other directly?

I'm not a big fan of Football but i'd pick it over any other sport other than basketball and Track & Field

I'd suggest MMA

only if you want to learn to ring fight and nothing else.

[Scrub]

only if you want to learn to brawl and beat your opponent to death.

All sports consist of getting a meaningless object to or into a meaningless goal over all accomplishing nothing.
I find all sports to be a waste of time.

Uggh yes I agree so much.

I mean, sure, I think its great for people to have fun, make friends, learn team work and whatever else. But people take it soooo loving seriously its weird lol.

Well I mean it can only help get you and keep you in shape, build teamwork, friendships, show your determination and learning to become more determined, discipline yourself to keep working, improve strength, reflexes, balance and flexibility. Nothing good in people taking sports seriously.

Football (soccer) is one of the better sports and can be painful at times. It is also the most played/watched sport in the world.

Im am totally not being biased even though I have played for 10+years

Sport is competition.
An intrinsic value built into human nature is competition.

I mean instead of fighting over a ball we could bring back gun duals. But I'm sure there might be some problems with that too.

meh i usually hear bad things about UFC. I always hear that people think they're all badass on the streets and stuff, then realize how wrong they were when they go for a grapple with somebody faster than them. but i guess no fighting style is REALLY better than another, it's really just personal preference. you just need to be smart if you're going to take somebody out, ring or not. and NEVER. loving. CHARGE AT SOMEBODY. for obvious reasons.

except most MMA fighters can't be like Keanu.. "I know kung fu" Not a fallacy in my case :3
