The fact that you call field hockey "real" hockey and ice hockey stupid just completely takes away all your credibility. I'm sure most Brits would even agree that ice hockey is more popular than field hockey.
[QUOTE=MaverickIB;23043721]Having played both Rugby and American football, I can say there is a vast difference in how people are brought down in either sport.
In American football, taking someone down is about [b]hitting[/b] them. Yes, you wrap your arms around them and whatnot, but the focus is on transferring as much energy as possible into your opponent. We're trained to put our facemask into the chest of the person we're trying to tackle, something that would cause a broken neck or other injury along those lines if done in Rugby.
Rugby is about tackling, not hitting. You use your arms and legs to bring a man down to the ground, you aren't trying to drill the shit out of him so he doesn't get up. Yes, there are big hits in Rugby, but they are nothing in comparison to the monstrous hits American football produces.
Just to put things in perspective, American football players wear all of that padding, yet they get hurt just as often (if not more) than Rugby players. They rarely whine about it, though. It is completely common for receivers to break multiple fingers every game and quarterbacks play with broken ribs all the time. That kind of stuff isn't announced when it happens because it is a natural occurrence, and players have to sit out at least one play if they take an injury timeout.[/QUOTE]

No. It's common for rugby players to break a nose at ever match as well as some having their ears ripped off.

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;23043677]Also, to one of your older comments, Americans don't really have an accent. They just talk normally, without any type of accent.[/QUOTE]
There are accents in America. There's the southern/country accent, the New Yorker/Boston accent, the annoying northern midwest accent (such as in Minnesota and Wisconsin), and there's the surfer kid accent. Most people in Oregon (where I'm from) either have no accent or there are a few who have a slight southern accent.

You act like pads determine everything. That's like saying an elephant wouldn't be scary in pads. You just have nothing to put forward in this debate.

I'm British and even I want you to shut up.
If it was as common for rugby players to break noses and have ripped off ears as it is for receivers to break fingers in American football, no rugby players would have ears and they would all have ridiculously fucked up noses.
I don't think you quite understand what I mean by "common." I literally mean every game. They tend to break fingers every single game, due to how hard the ball gets thrown. All they do is get them popped back into place and taped up before they put their gloves on.
That's all I'm going to say in response to iusehax. He posted a thread in the Love Advice section in which he said he is 15 years old, goes to a private school, and lives a sheltered life. Therefore, it is safe to say that he knows absolutely nothing about playing any sport.

[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;23043526]Apparently you missed this little snippet, so I'll post it again for you:
And to generalize like an idiot and say a rugby player can beat the shit out of a gridiron football player is ignorant and idiotic. The smaller American football players are as big as the average rugby player (~100 kg/220 lbs) while the bigger football players can get as large as 320 lbs.
And padding doesn't magically make you invulnerable, people break bones all the time playing American football, so that's another shit argument for "lolomg rugbyplayerrzx r so tuff" idiots.[/QUOTE]
Oh you americans and your fixation with size... when are you guys gonna learn? Bigger doesn't always mean better.
Sébastien Chabal and Jonah Lomu (SPECIALLY Lomu, Google him up in case you don't know who he is) can testify that.

In boxing (which is a worldwide sport), the heavier you are, the higher your weight class. They separate by weight because 99% of the time, a heavyweight is going to beat the fuck out of a welterweight. And guess what? American football players weigh more than rugby players, on average.

Pads allow for more energy transferral to your opponent and let you play more than once after being flattened by a charging yeti in a uniform. :-/

They only wear shoulder pads and a helmet. Its not like they are the fucking Michelin man.
How about you get hit by a lineman in full pads, see how you like it if you even survive the hit.

You are right, it isn't all about size.
American football players are faster on average as well. I'm damn well certain that you don't have 260 pound Rugby players running 40 yards in 4.6 seconds. My father played college ball with a man of that size and speed that went to the NFL, but didn't last long because he wasn't big enough or fast enough.
NFL players are freaks of nature. They aren't huge, slow, lumbering guys. They're massive human beings that can run faster, jump higher, and change direction much faster than players in any other sport.
I say that because NFL players can do just about anything. Tons of NFL players have gone off and played other sports, some even going to the Olympics. That exchange doesn't go both ways. You can't take even a great baseball player and throw him into the NFL without him being just a punching bag for everyone else. NBA players would get broken in half. Soccer players sure as fuck wouldn't last 2 seconds. Rugby players might survive as receivers, kickers, and other specialty roles, but they would never be able to play any other positions besides those. Olympic runners have successfully played receiver on many occasions, but they don't last anywhere else.
They don't look like anything special when you see them on screen, but the second you go to a actual NFL game and see those giants in person, you'll find yourself wondering how the fuck human beings can get that big.

Baseball is one of the hardest sports to master.
It is also one of the most fun. And I'm guessing that you never played or you played when you were a kid and sucked, so now everyone who play it is stupid.
Or you're English and just disrespect everything that smells American at every given chance.

Did you hear maverick? The technique is different. Sure, in a Rugby match with Rugby rules he might be untouchable, but if he was in a football game, with pads and the people were allowed to actually [i]hit[/i] the guy instead of tackle him, it wouldn't take much.
you're right with the technique, but have you seen this man? he's not just some really good rugby player, if he was donned in pads and was playing in a game of american football, the man under that helmet is still jonah fucking lomu, no matter what game or situation you put him in he is a monster
i'm not questioning the game, i'm just saying lomu is a force regardless of what game is being played
