I can respect Rugby lots more than Soccer but let's be real. The rugby guys are tiny in comparison to most of the NFL players.

The skill level involved in Football is enormous too.

Neat little page here that's seemingly unbiased.

I am a big American NFL Football fan. It's one of the most amazing sports ever. It's more physical than anything out there. Men are smashing into each other at incredible speeds. Most ball sports focus on the ball but NFL actually has a lot more strategy than just handling the ball. Each play is an orchestra of pain. There is nothing more punishing physically than a tackle in football. If you're not a fan that's too bad. And if you don't believe me then you're wrong. One just has to look at the NFL injury report to see just how much punishment gets dished out each game. Just about every game has a stretcher or two involved. These guys could actually die in the game.

I like Basketball.

Basketball really sucks. It's a sport designed as a team but has become a single player sport that's worse than baseball. To play basketball your best skill is being tall.

Example:


Does anyone really think he is good? Guys like Jordan and Bryant can play the game but still it's more about individuals than a team.

Maybe so but you have to realize that rugby players have little to no padding or protection, while football players have giant, armor like padding, with a mouth guard and a helmet. In my opinion rugby players deserve more respect. Furthermore, when do you here of a rugby player shooting himself in the leg with an unlicensed weapon in a crowded area? Rugby players tend not to be idiots.

You can't be serious. You just explained why they are idiots. They use little to no padding and hit just as hard as the football (read: handegg) players do. Rugby players are also starting to wear mouth guards more and more. Rugby players don't deserve any respect really. It's called the Darwin Award.
