Report Post Tip

Rugby is more fun to watch and play. So Rugby it is.

From the Pros...

"When I heard it was only 20-minute games, I was like, 'Man, I would kill that. I've played two-hour games in college and the NFL.' The first game I ever played in rugby, after two minutes, I was begging the coach to take me out."
-Leonard Peters, current USA Rugby Sevens player and former safety for the New York Jets and the Chicago Bears.

"They all say overseas that whenever we take [rugby] seriously, we'll beat everyone, and it's true. If I could get some All-Pros and train them in rugby, we'd go out and kick ass."
-Dan Lyle, who in 1996 turned down the Minnesota Vikings to play for Bath Rugby Club in England

"The most difficult adjustment in the sport was learning positional play — knowing where to be at the right time and the most advantageous position to receive the ball."
-Manfred Moore, Oakland Raiders running back who in 1977 left the NFL to play rugby league with Australia's Newtown Jets

"I think the more violent game is American football, and the more physically challenging is rugby. The advantage in American football is that you get seven months to prepare for a four-month season. In rugby, it seems like you get two weeks to prepare for an 11-month season."
-Richard Tardits, who played rugby with France's national youth team before moving to the US and picking up football. Tardits would go on to play linebacker for the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals before returning to rugby as a member of the US national team.

Football (soccer) is better. Rugby is much more fun to watch and play than American football. American football just has too many breaks. Ther run for 20 sec then there's another 2-3 min break, its annoying and boring.

Rugby

Report Post Tip

All of those people who were saying rugby is tougher in JudgeDeaths post are people I've never heard of. This leads me to believe they couldn't hack it in the NFL and skipped over to Rugby.

I mean one guy had 20 carries in two years as an NFL running back (thats sad). He also had 12 fumbles in those 20 carries....which means he was beyond worhtless.

Needless to say....Football (NFL) is better to me.

Report Post Tip

I'd say American football, but I'm pretty biased...I tried watching rugby once a few years ago. Usually when you watch a sport you can kind of figure out the rules (or is it that the rules of popular sports have been ingrained into our brains from a young age?) but watching rugby I had no idea what was going on. Maybe if I knew the rules I'd be able to enjoy it more.
