Author Topic: Rugby vs. Football  (Read 1923 times)

I want to start off by saying they're both dumb sports and I don't side with either.  There seems to be a constant battle between rugby players/fans and football players/fans; when in reality, neither are better. It's just a bunch of monkeys running across a field beating each other up. People say rugby's more physical, while others say football is more physical. Well I say both are physical, but not nearly as physical as boxing/mma/martial arts. If people are going to act high and mighty over each other, they might as well bury two of the worst sports in history and go with Boxing.  Not only do you learn how to defend yourself, but you learn how to beat people up. I'd say that's pretty brutal. B)

tl;dr i'm doing competitive boxing next spring

I love watching sweaty men in short shorts and tights chase balls around.

READY! SET! TOUCH! PAUSE!---- ENGAGE!

I'd take rugby over American football any day.

rugby sucks balls. american football is cool. and so is boxing.

Foot ball > American football and Rugby

At least in Rugby the players don't pusillanimous individual out by wearing a ton of armor.

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.

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.

football is fun

You just have to be into competition. Most sports are overall good for your body and fitness. I'm doing track and boxing this year and hopefully I can stick with it. But I'll achieve great things for my body.

There are fewer serious injuries in rugby than in American Football.

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