Of course I don't mind, because no one here knows me, so nothing can hurt (very bad at least).

I don't necessarily watch American Football just for the hits and tackles. It is a very complex game that requires a lot of strategy and I enjoy that aspect.

I like Rugby too. But there are elements of it that I find tedious. It's a little too free for all and you don't have the great passes and catches that you see in American Football.

Again, I like them both but prefer American Football.

All I would like to add is that I have seen and played both rugby and football. I tend to notice football is composed of much larger and stronger players, while rugby is usually medium sized/slightly tall players who are rather lean. I just have to say that you shouldn't call a football player a pansy, as most of them are just mountains of muscle weighing anywhere from 170 to 350 pounds, maybe even more. The reason they wear pads is to avoid injury. Believe me, if half of the National Rugby thing(or whatever it's called) were made of 230 pounds guys made of all muscle, they would wear pads. And they DON'T hit harder. In rugby, a tackle doesn't usually hurt too much, but in football, in MANY cases you can hear the smack because the tackles are so hard, and many times bones are broken. I am not dissing rugby, but I am just trying to make you understand that it hurts A LOT when a 240 pound beast charges you and slams into you at 20 miles an hour(yes a lot of them run that fast).

La Crosse is a good sport. I find it better then some of the more popular sports. Only, it isn't that physical anymore. You can't check anyone anymore unless you are watching some other made up league, or the rules could be different in other countries.

You litle slight of build rugby and soccer players do not even stand up to our huge boys. You really want to go unprotected against a 300 lb mass of pissed of american???? I am sure there are plenty of football boys here who would love to take you out bare and wipe the grass with your little ass. When they are done you will be wishing you had opted for the helmet and pads.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYY
Never make fun of soccer players or call them pansies. I play soccer, and in case you don't know, it is one of, if not the, most tiring sports in the world. Just because soccer players aren't 300 pounds of muscle (which it is better that they aren't for the game they play), doens't mean their pansies. Soccer players have strong legs. One swift kick from a good, strong Forward(soccer position) would drop any football player in a second. You are too into size I believe. I take martial arts, and size matters in many ways. But there are ways to use the other person's size to your advantage.
Ok I kinda went all over the place, just don't ever make fun of soccer players again, because REAL MEN can run a mile in under 5 minutes, not bench 400 pounds.

Well underdawg that depends on your definition of "real men". I'm sure to some gay guy somewhere a "real man" is someone that owns a pink dress, , but to me "Real Men Wear Black" because I am a OakLand Raider Fan! I think the point here is that American Football players are not "pansies", and Rugby players aren't either (I guess) because they play different sports. We could probably overpower most soccer players easily but we those same powerful linemen couldn't outrun a soccer foreward. Ya know?

I suppose I said that wrong. What I am saying, the pads are necessary in football. You can and people do die even with the gear. Your game is different. So I guess if you take an outside point of view, credit to my husband, Neither are pansies, we are talking two DIFFERENT sports requiring different skills at which both sides are skilled.
But if your talking pussies because American Football players wear safety gear you are wrong. 300 lb men slamming into each other can and does cause severe injuries and death.Gear is necesary. In my opinion it is not worth that sort of risk just so you feel like your cock is huge. Not my thing but then again I have estrogen poisoning........

hu hu...hu hu...she said cock...he he he.

I completely agree with that 'I do not like', both sports the men are tough indeed, but one does not earn the status of being a pussy or pansy just because he wears pads. I could argue about this for days because I have a preference for football, but it just boils down to who you think is tougher I guess.

Used to follow the NFL in highschool, when I lived in the States. Moved to Canada years ago and "fell out of the loop", I guess. Like waaay out... I turned the TV on one year and nearly went into shock when I noticed the Patriots in the Superbowl

Now I'm stuck going to CFL games. It's alright though. 3 downs instead of 4 kinda makes the game go at a bit faster pace.

And yeah, 300 lbs. of muscle charging at full speed can be pretty scary. I wouldn't get on the field with those guys unless I was in a hummer.
