You think American football is hardcore? wrong, rugby is hardcore:
Those are real ****ing men who don't have to wear an armor because they are afraid of breaking a nail.

its wheather you consider a biger hit with pads on on being hit at less speed with nothing on
its like being involved in a 40 mile a hour car crash with a seat belt on
or being involved in a 30mph crash with no seatbelt on
plus forget just the hits have a look at the mauls people stamping on each other with boots on the sport is pretty crazy

30mph vs 40mph isn't a true scale for football vs rugby
i'd rather be hit at 40mph by a scooter, than 30mph by a diesel truck........
c wut i did dere????
impacts are harder in the nfl, the sport is positioned around this....look at the videos and do them with no protective gear............does that make sense????
have a g'day mate.Last edited by vazquez; 03-20-2010 at 03:36 AM.

I think American football is a crap sport. People just run into each other like retards, seriously. Probably the least tactical sport. It tends to favour people with explosive speed. Rugby is a mix of everything, you have the bulk in the centre and always quick and agile wingers.
Its obvious it's a rip off of Rugby and definately inferior.
Soccer is not alpha but takes the most skill, and is the hardest to be very good at and the best to watch.

How many deaths have there been playing rugby?
In the 110 years that rugby has been played, there has been 71 recorded deaths in the sport. These were mostly from broken necks during collapsed scrums, and from hard head collisions.
Has an NFL player ever been killed during a game?
No player has ever been killed by a hit in the NFL.
According to our sources, no one has died from a tackle in the NFL.

03-20-2010, 03:56 AM #85According to The National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury, 325 men and boys have died either directly or indirectly from playing football at the high school and college level between 1982-2008 (26 years). Direct injuries are defined as those fatalities which resulted directly from participation in the fundamental skills of football (such as tackling and blocking). Indirect injuries are those injuries that are caused by systemic failure as a result of exertion while participating in football activity or by a complication which was secondary to a nonfatal injury (such as heart failure and heat stroke).
Professional Football
24 Oct 1971: Churck Hugues, wide receiver with the Detroit Lions, died of a heart attack during a game with the Chicago Bears in Tiger Stadium. His teammates were informed of his death before leaving the stadium.
22 Jul 1979: James Victor Cain, tight end with the St. Louis Cardinals, died of congenital heart failure during training camp.
01 Aug 2001: Korey Stringer, offensive lineman with the Minnesota Vikings, died of heatstroke during the second day of practice with full pads. His core temperature reached 108 degrees. He died within 24 hours of being removed from the field.
