Current Mood:  | Why American football is for gays and rugby for real men
I have always wondered about the popularity of American football, in the US. When looking at rugby and comparing it to American football, it is a wonder that American football is favored in the US.
First of all they play with pads. Women wear pads.
Secondly they wouldnt last a minute in rugby.
Thirdly, every time there is contact in the game, there is a 5 minute pause.
Fourth, its boring to watch. And I like baseball, golf and snooker on tv in additon to rugby and football.
Fifth.  
Those are men vs boys.
Sixth
Effort in rugby vs steroids in American football.
Seventh..
Watch a whole game of each ad judge thereafter

You cite baseball and golf right after saying FOOTBALL is boring?
Wow...lose all credibility right there to me Also. Pads or no pads, you can't tell me hits like this aren't painful or take a man to take. (RIP)
Nothing against rugby, they're tough grown as s men. But football is no boys sport, and its by far the most entertaining sport to watch.

Most of the people I've met that play rugby are lesbians.

I don't judge how entertaining a sport is based on how much it hurts to play it. Is rugby rougher than American football? Absolutely. Is rugby gay? Yes, it is gayer than new coup for you's avatar. And thats pretty damn gay.
Anyway, I like football... but baseball is the only sport I'm passionate about. | |

Lovely, some more homophobia from our resident EU hypocrite. Hey maximus, why don't you start another thread about how Americans are so much more backwards and stupid than you enlightened Europeans?
