Tell a NFL linebacker that north american football is for pussies. americans just have a differnt view on sports, we dont like rugby much.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SgtSwabs @ Apr 12 2006, 09:35 AM) [snapback]165293[/snapback]</div>In rugby you aren't even allowed to throw the ball forward! You have to through it to the side or back which means alot more thinking is needed than in American football where they can just throw it forward until they score look at the diagrams, below. Which one looks more tactical, and I know these are obviously not the only tactics used in both games.
See, lots of thought in that and thats only one of the tactics.
Where as that makes the game a whole lot easier.
Oh and when you said "gotta be tough" did you mean their body armour has to be tough?

Nobody could have said it better than Vermilion that Rugby is just a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off running around in circles.
And if Rugby is so much cooler than Football, how come millions and millions of people don't watch Rugby religiously? Because it's chaotic, there's no sense of skill or togetherness to it. People want to see a sense of teamwork.
True, but there are also flea flickers (pitch passes) and laterals in Football too. So in all reality, your Rugby diagram could work in the NFL too. So that's no argument.
And if Rugby is so much cooler than Football, how come we never really hear about it? Nobody does anything cool, that's why.
Because there are rules and regulations in Football, it makes it more interesting. How many times have us American boys been glued to the TV, jumping up and down in the middle of the living room with 5 seconds left in the 4th quarter yelling "That's fucking ridiculous! I'm gonna kick the refs ass! That was a touchdown!" and there's some kind of holding penalty or pass interference. It's more exciting.
We all come from different places and will never agree, but I say NFL 100%.

I prefer Rugby.
