The one in which the chaps all wear suits of armour because they're afraid of getting hurt, I'd imagine.

In the last 40 years of extreme development in the US, taking over the popularity and business medium of hockey, baseball and bascket-ball, American football still hasn't managed to step outside it's home country... while on the other hand rugby has spread a lot in places like the Pacific, South East Asia and South America with a constant growth rate, making it a serious contender for the most popular team game spot - after football that is. Let's see what will the figures (business figures, crowds, tv audience) of the Rugby WC this year will tell.

Rugby will prevail... it's a mixture of either American and Association football with ultimate fighting.

I really like American Football. It's probably my favorite of the big 4 in the US, although I don't have a team I follow specifically which makes Baseball and Basketball a little more fun to follow since I'm a big time Dodgers and Clippers fan. Los Angeles doesn't have a professional football team anymore *shakes fist at the Raiders and Rams* so I'm into football but not at the level I probably would be if I had a team to follow.
For college, though, I like the Texas Longhorns because my father graduated from UT. Edited by video vertigo - March 05 2007 at 00:26 |

I don't really understand Rugby that well, maybe if I took the time to learn about it I'd like it more.

That's so you don't get killed.Ever get hit by a few 250-300lb lineman and linebackers over and over and over again for an hour?
I played all the way from pee-wee leagues through high school and had multiple surgeries to repair a torn ACL,MCL and PCL and also had numerous broken fingers,hands,a wrist,an ankle and collarbone,I played through and with all my injuries except for the knee,which prevented me from ever playing again.Just think what it would have been like without padding?

Rugby is for regular team sports what prog epics are for mainstream rock... It really is much more difficult to get into, and you must need to know the rules wich are pretty complex. Maybe you should try the 7 players rugby, which is much more spectacular than normal rugby.

It just always amuses me when people think that just because football players are well protected that it isn't a brutal and painfully violent sport.If you haven't ever played the game don't knock that aspect of it.
