u're rite, that's all football players can do: charge.

moreover, on the initial gif, the guy in red is just standing. as for mine, the guys are running toward each other. a little bit more energetic.

the fact that ball touching ground = game stopped means game for girls with weak hearts.

You keep telling yourself that. Most rugby players would be place kickers in the NFL. That's right the biggest pussy on the field.

It's kinda hard to argue facts, because NFL players are much bigger, stronger and faster then the best rugby player you could name.

If the pads came off in the NFL, there would be a lot of dead people, or permanent wheelchair users.

How built the players are is irrelevant. The only reason American Football players can hit harder and run at each other faster is because of their padding.

A kick to the face in American Football will severely jar the head and neck, and probably hurt like hell. A kick to the face in rugby will also jar the head and neck, as well as leaving a nice bleeding red gash in the skin of the face where the boot actually made physical contact with the human head without any intervention from any fucking safety equipment.

In conclusion:
American Football < Rugby < Australian Rules Football

They're pretty much the same in terms of brutality except American Football allows more fucked up tackles because of the extra protection, whereas they can't be allowed in Rugby because fatalities would rise.

AF allows you to keep your face pretty.

You have never watched Football have you. The average D line man is like 6'4 and about 270 pounds. And most of them can run fast as olympic sprinters have their size.

I won't even get started on how big o linemen can get, but 310 pounds is considered small.

I bet that all of you have never played a game of Rugby, so let me explain something.

Rugby tackling is designed to bring a player down as fast as possible in as safe a manner as possible... and that's if it's done correctly.

You'll probably find that the majority of people do not give a flying fuck how you fall down in rugby, just as long as you go down. People will try and willingly rip your head off and go for a high tackle if it's necessary to get you down. Sure it might mean a penalty against that team, but Rugby players don't care.

American Football however... padding. Says it all. Doesn't matter how you get a person down, no real rules against it. You can run fall bolt like an idiot into someone if you must just to get where you want to be.

In conclusion. Rugby = Organized, well constructed and smart tackling which usually isn't followed that well. Smart sport.
American Football = Running like a twat into other people for a ball. Dumb sport.

Wait, I thought the argument was that Rugby players were just as tough as AF players. Now you're trying to turn it around into "AF is just stupider than Rugby lol?"
Changing the topic doesn't win the argument, douche bag. And if you try to say AF doesn't have any strategy or thought behind it just because we can fucking TACKLE HARDER, then you're an ignorant moron.

Yeah, rugby is smart. I mean, choosing to have to play safe because both you and the guy your slamming into are playing a sport completely unprotected... not a hint of jackassery there.

This is a different person arguing though.

I also never said that Rugby would give you a better chance of getting injured either, I actually think you're more likely to get that from AF.

That's true, but they can do so because they don't need half the endurance of rugby players.

Rugby is 80 mins total, consisting of 2 40 min halfs.
AF is 60 mins consisting of 15 min quarters, that is if there are no stops which of course there are all the fucking time.

Of course, steroids help on both accounts.

To the idiot rugby player:

The second American Football gif posted would have DEFINITELY gotten a yellow flag and major penalty yardage for the other team. This is football not wrestling. Doing something like that which could not only end a career but a HUMAN LIFE is unnacceptable in all sports, the NFL especially.

Please don't try and describe the rules of American Football you obviously have no clue what you speak of.

You know, football players might be bigger and stronger, but they wouldn't last a full rugby game. Football has a ton of breaks and quarters compared to a few breaks and 40 min halves.

Football players train for high performance for a short period of time. Rugby players train for endurance.

Honestly, they're two different sports, sorta hard to compare.


But yeah, football is for pussies... you won't know til you play rugby.

It takes much more strength, agility, and skill to play rugby, especially at the international level.

Also, in before Eurofag. I was born in the US and live in Florida. Guy in red is from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They fail. They lost the game from OP .gif.

You give rugby players padding equivalent to that which is used in the NFL, and you would see a transformation in how the game is played. You give a person more protection, and they feel as if they can take larger risks. You'll never see an American Football player from the 50's leading with their head or shoulder, but rather a clothesline or forearm shiver was the big hit tactic.

And for those claiming Rugby players wouldn't be able to take an NFL hit, look up the GIF of Sav Rocca. He got lifted clean off his feet by a monstrous hit during the pre-season and got straight back to his feet.

tl;dr version: There both incredibly tough, NFL hits are harder due to padding.

Amerifag here. American football looked very Aussie rules rugby-ish back in the 1930s-1950s in America. The players wore a leather skin over their head for protection. Well, that wasn't enough. The players kept getting knocked the fuck out when they played. So, over time, Americans developed padding to allow for the high velocity blows delivered by players with out (most of the time) knocking the player with the ball the fuck out.

American football: 3, Aussie football: 0
