Thread: Rugby vs. American football

And then the idiots who play rugby (only idiots play rugby) try to convince us why their "more dangerous" sport makes its players perfectly capable to do anything that football players can do.

You know that a person is loosing an arguement when they start insulting and name calling.

Calling rugby players idiots, by your summation the rest of the world other than American are all idiots because they play rugby?

Uh, are you dense? Are you meaning to tell me that outside of America you cannot find a man, woman, or child capable of walking that doesn't play rugby? And on top of that, are you meaning to say that there are no American rugby players?

The argument that's been proposed in this thread is a pretty fitting definition of idiocy. You've tailor-fitted your qualifications and then challenged the participants of another sport to satisfy them. Everyone in this thread who is remotely reasonable has conceded that this is either 1) a dumb, indefensible argument or 2) a relatively meaningless comparison. Only the fucking knuckle-draggers are trying to carry on the Rugby-uber-alles garbage which has been chopped and dice to bits for the past 40 posts.
