Its a bunch of sweaty men hugging each other..
Sound at all familiar?
And then there stupid enough not to wear any pads, and possibly kill themselves..
You dont need pads. The players that try to do football tackles dont last long enough to finish the game. The point of tackling in football is to stop the player and drive them back. In rugby it is used to pull the guy to deck.
An average D-lineman is aprox 300 pounds. If you play QB, probably the hardest thing to do in sports, I wanna see you get blind-sided by that...
They also sit on the sideline for half the game. Lets see one of those guys play for 80 minutes without needing oxygen. Rugby players are smaller because they need to be able to run harder, longer. Lets see one of your D-linemen tackle a guy, get up, pick up the ball and run the length of the field being chased by smaller, more agile players.
This is what happened to the last guy that said he didnt like rugby, so watch your mouth.
Nobody likes the Giants anyway, lose the fanboi.
Anyway, I didnt know the NFL season started so late. Ill watch the superbowl, but the rest of the season passes by unnoticed in Canada.
Our football season is half over. Unless Ricky Ray figures out that the entire stadium knows hes going to throw the ball before he does, the Esks are in trouble.
