in my American opinion, all sports are dumb no matter what you call it. I guess the men in tights thing just too much for most to look away...

UniqueD · 10-12-2009, 07:28 AM

Come on, they kick it like once every 4-10 plays, maybe foothandegg

And yes, American football does seem a little strange being called football since the ball is hardly ever used with the foot.

Things that make ya go, hmmmmmmmmm.....

Well, we've all seen the same joke before. Maybe not that exact incantation of a very very old joke.

I didn't suggest you were attacking me, "homes". I merely pointed out the irony. But if it makes you feel better to attack me, then cool. Whatever helps you through your day.

I didnt quote you or attack you in any way, not my style, however, creating an image for a thread should not be taken as personal attyack LOL

I have much better things to do than attack people I dont know on forums, but since I had PS open, I figured why not make one!

Funny how you turn a humor image thread into this

that's a neat analogy, just like your 1st one, but the protective equipment in football is donned pre-game so there are no delays in football due to helmets and padding being worn.

back in the day, football players didn't wear much if any padding, and soft leather helmets, similar to rugby. But due to injuries, american ingenuity came to the rescue with good solid protective gear and it is now required due to the brutality of the sport.

in fact, football is not interrupted as much due to less injuries sustained during game play, thanks to the advances in protection.

I don't recall suggesting wearing this ghey padding added delays to the game.

As I understand it, delays are actually naturally built in to the rules of American Football? Seems they actually stop running about doing the actual sport part or actually doing anything strenuous every few minutes, then they get their breath back, kick the ball down the field a bit?

Oh, the rest of the world just thought it was cos your players were a bunch of little girls.

Well done for setting the record straight.

How is it attacking "all Americans" by posting a joke picture taking the piss out of you for calling your padded version of rugby football?

I was attacking the person who called the game football initially, if anyone. But really, I wasn't attacking anyone. I was just posting a funny image.

Calm down dear, this is just the internet.

i guess i misunderstood your comment about protective equipment and just playing the game then.

no, football isn't stopped every few minutes, as you suggest.

not sure what the rest of the world thinks of football players.

either way, perhaps i misunderstood the gist of this thread you started, but it appeared to be a sarcastic commentary on the sport, which is fine, no offense taken, americans can laugh at ourselves.

but it remains that rugby isn't strictly "football" either and it's also played with an egg-shaped ball.

Rugby and American football have very little in common. American football is much, much more violent. They wear pads for a reason.

Huh?

"It remains that rugby isn't strictly football"?

Who suggested it was? In this country, when we come up with new sports, we tend to use a new word to describe that sport. This is why rugby isn't called football. It's BECAUSE IT'S RUGBY.

Hope that helps your clear confusion in this matter.

Yes I have. And I've heard accounts from people who play rugby tell me that American football is more violent.

Is there blocking in rugby? Are there blind side hits in rugby? Are there head on collisions? Why do you think there are way more injuries in football than in any other sport? Do you think they just wear those pads cuz they look cute?

Watch this video and tell me if there are hits like this in rugby:

You know what they say about assumptions? I let you figure that one out for yourself...

Like I posted above, yes I have. And I have spoken with rugby players who agree. The entire mentality of football is more violent. But I am sure you understand very little about American football.

But go ahead and post the most vicious rugby hits and let's see if they can compare to the video I posted above.

i'm not the slightest bit confused, my good man. it appears the confusion lies with you if you believe this thread displays american's view of themselves

moreover, your confusion is compounded by the fact the rugby is short for the sport known as rugby FOOTBALL.
like american football (gridiron football), the name has been shortened to simply, rugby.

we shortened the name to football, because calling it gridiron or american would not make much sense, i suppose.

Oh bless. It's called RUGBY because it was invented in RUGBY. In England. Thanks for trying though.

I wonder why we didn't shorten it to football too?

Oh!

Maybe BECAUSE THERE ALREADY WAS A GAME CALLED FOOTBALL.

no need to sigh, mate, it's all in jest. that's why i posted the particular rugby pic i did (you know, the gay one)

tear down straw men? not sure where i misrepresented your position, just having a bit of fun with ya, just like you are doing with the thread and title eh.

Oh lookie. A Mac user saying something stupid. I've never seen THAT before.

Look at the size of American football players. Do you know how to calculate kinetic energy? Their size and speed is unmatched in any sport on the planet. The energy in which they collide easily breaks bones, hence all the padding. Rugby players are generally smaller. Less mass means less kinetic energy which means less potential for injury. The hits are infinitely less brutal and come from much smaller players which negates the need for padding.
