Rugby's just a bunch of idiots running into eachother. If that's a sport then surely picking your nose must be too

Originally posted by infinity HiGH Hahaha, pitiful excuse for a sport? oh please I can't think of another sport out there that requires as much team co-ordination as football does. It's easily one of the most complex games out there.

It's also full out start and stop for 3-4 hours of " exciting " sport who gives a shit other than the playoffs anyways? All sports are complex, i just find american football boring. Ah well, it's only my opinion.

pfft... "soccer"

I think everyone can agree that it at least SHOULD be called Football.
In, as you call it, "soccer" players use their feet 99.9% of the time, where as in American football they only kick the ball during goal kicks and kick off which makes up for like 2% of the game... if anything American Football should be called Soccer.

American football should be called "handball"......you use your hands most of the time anyways.

I guess handball didn't sound hardcore enough so they decided to use football and develop their own word for football to cover it up

Thank God Cale doesn't care about the world cup. If anything I watch more than him...and that's not very much...just when the Beckham's are around...what a hot family.

Totally.

"who's ready for a game of HANDBALL!?!?!" just doesn't have the same effect.

Lol, as if.

Rugby requires lots of strategy, but with football (American), there is a much larger risk of injury than rugby. Why? In rugby, most tackles are made within a short distance of each player, whereas in football, players usually run a long distance before tackling. Furthermore, in football, the equipment is used as a weapon just as much as it is used as protection. Try getting headbutted in the kneecap by someone wearing a football helmet after a 10 second dash.

So in conclusion, many people think rugby is more of a "real man's sport" than football because they don't wear equipment. This is actually not true.

Wow, couldn't have said it better. Didn't you play rugby though?

Your post reminded me of this joke (Can't remember where I saw it now):

- "OK everyone! Let's play some football! YEAH!"
- "But sir, when I kick the ball, I keep missing the goal."
- "Well, Ok, we'll move the goal above the ground and remove the top bar, so you can shoot it as high as you want."
- "But sir, I'm having trouble controlling the ball with my feet."
- "Well, Ok, just use your hands then."
- "But sir, it's hard to throw the soccer ball."
- "Well, ok, we'll just use something that looks like a melon then so you could throw it easier."
- "But sir, I still can't get it into the goal."
- "Well, Ok, just run past the end of the field, that should be enough."
- "But sir, I keep getting tired."
- "Well, Ok, we'll take 2 minute breaks after every play."
- "But sir, aren't we playing a glorified version of handball now?"
- "Hmm, handball sounds gay, so we'll call it football."
- "But sir, there's already a game called football, and it's nothing like what we're playing now."
- "That's okay - we're Americans - we'll just call it football, and impose our beliefs on the rest of the world, making them call their game soccer."

This thread should be directed towards men as well, since I tend to be the one spazzing out over the games while my man questions why this "spazzing" is necessary....
