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.
also, many rugby players are identified by scouts whilst playing for a university team, much like American footballers, proving they at least have the capability to enter further education
the difference is, rugby players dont get sports scolarships to go to college, where they just play for the team and go to classes just to say they are in the university.

Rugby players are intellegent, respectable proffessionals, who play a full contact sport to blow off steam
Football players are overfed lumps of angry thugs that like to run into other overfed lumps of angry thugs

Thats idiocy.
