American football is cool I like it, but baseball... :nope... I mean WTF is that? it's just a bunch of 40 year old fatties just standing there trying to hit a ball with a bat (thing that they acomplish at a less than 30% rate), the only semi-exciting thing you can see is a good defensive play, which happens once every three or four games. And speaking of games, they shouldn't be 3 hours long when the actual playing time is less than ten minutes. I can't understand how in the US baseball is more popular than the NBA.

Football uses so much protection because the players have turned into monstrosities. If they weren't so big, less pads would be needed, and they could go back to there leather helmets.

Thank you. Try putting Leonard Davis up against those rugby drunks and see how many of them will get hurt.

Well, if they were in a fight, Leonard Davis would lose, since we are going with more than one rugby drunk. If we were talking about their respective sport though, Davis would obviously dominate at football with or without pads, and would get dominated at rugby, at least until he caught up to a scrum, then he would pretty much be great. Then everyone would run off and leave him in the dust again while all the fans made fun of him.

Epic fail X 2 ….. since when school has something to do with IQ …. I know a guy named bill gates that didn’t finished school and you can’t say he doesn’t have a high IQ…. But we are talking about sports and IQ as the ability to think and wisely play the sport…. Futbol requires a lot of fraction of a second decision making situations…. pussified rugby (“american “”””””football””””””) is a coaches game… with a punch of pussies massively protected just following instructions and blackboard plays… Fuck that shit….. that moronic copy of rugby is only popular in the US and part of Mexico.

[sam1617]

Ok how about Shawne Merriman? He is just as quick if not quicker than probably most of the rugby players and twice as big. What do you think?

Merriman would be able to play I think, a lot of the HB's and FB's, along with some of the bulkier possession receivers would probably be good at rugby. Quick, powerful guys, with lots of stamina are the way to go.

Just two different sports though. I don't really think there is a huge amount of difference in toughness, although there seem to be more prima donnas in football. But both sports have guys perfectly willing to play with concussions, broken noses, and various other broken bones.

Well even if they are faster at the 40 yds dash most American football players would still have a hard time playing top level rugby because of endurance. In football, you have a play which last 10 seconds at best, and then you stop. While rugby is not as fluid as soccer or basketball, there is much more movement, and that would catch up with the American football player's body.

I have been around players from both sports and the differences are clear to me. There is much more specialization in football, you are either a power player of a skill player and therefore either really big, or really athletic. In rugby the differences are not so stark. Everyone has similiar muscular developments, and everyone has to be able to run around the field.

Soccer though is still king. I laugh at them who think it's a no contact sport, your knees and ankles take a pounding like nowhere else. Yet it's still graceful and highly technical. Most people can get in a football or rugby game and be decent enough if they are good athletes. In soccer, forget about it. It takes years to perfect the skill of shooting, passing, dribbling, keeping possesion, or simply developing the neccessary intelligence to play the game. There is a reason why it's undoubted king of sports in all the world.

I agree with your first two paragraphs...

Your last one though... I disagree with it. Like all sports, I think anyone with above average coordination and athleticism can come in and play soccer. I just don't like the sport, its boring, too much flopping, too much annoying announcers, too much crazy fans rioting, and too much jogging back and forth while only 3 guys on the field are actually doing anything. And English soccer isn't as bad as the rest, cause it generally seems like they enjoy the contact and don't flop as much...

Without any doubt the toughest collective sport is rugby. In soccer you can be a great player even without a good physical condition see R. Milla / Maradona / Ronaldo / Romario etc... in rugby forget about it: to be efficient you need to be 100%, it's first endurance, toughness, willing to go to the fight, if you are not ready you don't exist in this game.

I respect american football but there is a fucking break every 2 minutes, it's really boring, in rugby or soccer you have 40 or 45 min of action non stop, this is one of the major difference between american sports and european, IMO in the US it's first business second sport, in Europe i believe that fortunately it's first sport.

If Ray Lewis was relegated to play in this type of enviroment, he would kill these slow white guys. Fact is - he's pretty damn athletic and that's why he makes the big money. If any of these guys had the athletic talent to make it in the NFL they would be stupid to pass it up - the minimum salary in the NFL would be a big payday in the top rugby leagues. As far as overall endurance, the two styles are completely different - in rugby, only one player is getting hit as opposed to the NFL where each player is getting hit almost all of the time.

First, you're right about one point: US Footballers make a LOT more money than Rugbymen. But i don't see how money makes US Football better then rugby as a sport...

Second, thoses slow white guys, as you said, can run a 100 meters in something like 10 seconds (for the backs at least) and they run between 7 and 12 kilometers per game while getting constantly hit by the opposed players. IMO, NFL players just can't do that, too much power, not enough endurance.

Is it a bit weird that in a basketball forum, US fans call soccer a sport for pussies, not enough contact and such and don't appreciate the skill involved in it.

I love both football and ruby, but they are what they are, power sports. If you are a good athlete, and hit the gym, you will be relatively good at both of these sports. I know, I was one of them.

Whereas both soccer and basketball, while athleticism is needed, it's not vital. You have to have skills, you need to have touch and feel for the game. Isn't it weird we are having this dicussion just as Xavi and Iniests, two good but definetely not great athletes, owned the much tougher and physical Manchester team.

So therefore, no, soccer isn't as physical as both rubgy and football. It is definetely a hard sport, but that is not why people appreciate it.

And last but not least, the reason soccer is the most popular sport in the world, is simply because it's one of the easiest and cheapest to play. You need a ball, something to make a goal out (and it can be shoes, bottles, anything really) and you can play it in any terrain. I grew up playing it in a narrow neighborhood street, where no one developed any physical skills, but all those guys could freestyle with the best of them.

Ok, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Is Ray Lewis fast enough to compete against a cheetah?

'Cause this slow rugby player is

Oh, and by the way, most rugby players don't even know what the NFL is.

that's a cool clip - but he's being caught by the cheetah and not vice versa. To answer your question, I think Ray would hang with this guy's performance (Ray used to run a 4.5 - 40) given the huge headstart that he has. Of course most rugby players have heard of the NFL - they have dreams dont' they?

Is it a bit weird that in a basketball forum, US fans call soccer a sport for pussies, not enough contact and such and don't appreciate the skill involved in it.

I love both football and ruby, but they are what they are, power sports. If you are a good athlete, and hit the gym, you will be relatively good at both of these sports. I know, I was one of them.

You got it. Rugby and its pussified version are sports based on contact whereas football and BB are mainly based one avoidance.

Both types are plaisant to play and to watch

I really can't get into the NFL anyway, I tried watching the last superbowl over here in england and it's so slow, they run a play and then for the next 15 minutes it's commercials, then it comes back to the commentators ejaculating over how good the game is, seriously it's slower than freakin' cricket.
