I am not saying it is not painful, but in reality compared to Football it is nothing...

That being said here is a Football compilation compared to yours... Kinda shows the difference on how american football is high octane violence and rugby is a pedal bike of violence.

These look painful
Ok instead of trying to convince you about the greatness of my beloved rugby why not watch your country play their games... Yes folks I am not joking, there is an American rugby team and they are competing in the Rugby World Cup :)

I'm not twisting words here, but you meaning you aint never watching sports, and she aint never cleaning the house?:p
Mmmmmmaybe not in all honesty... :confused:

All I can say is when the Bokke and the All Blacks clash there is a rumble in the Gandalf household because daddy is making lots of noise :)

I have watched rugby, and as I have said before I do not like rugby or football...
But, if I had to pick I would watch football because it is more violent and thrilling...

My sports are Rally, Motorcross, and snowboarding. The reason I like these sports is because I can do all of them, and I do (do all of them).
Rugby is too slow and boring.

You are right. It is intimidating to watch these shows :) and then you have people actually doing it...

Nice how you completely avoided any direct response or recognition of what was said, in light of your personal arguments, when faced with facts and science. Your response is pretty much is an admission that you have no rebuttal and can't admit you've proven wrong.
Ugly - its a discussion about sport that T-Lauren loves...and me n others...I am sure not going to get into a rebuttal - ..yes it is...no it isn't...yes it is....not it isn't....um i'll keep it light n leave the heavy stuff - but ty for supporting American football fans...i'm sure they appreciate your input

For the last time, I do not like Football....

The reason for my passion is because I hate the reason why people say Rugby is better, because it is scientifically wrong...
I hate that people say that "Rugby is better because it doesn't use pads, this makes it a tougher sport". As I have shown this is an incorrect statement that goes against scientific studies made in both Rugby playing countries and non-Rugby playing countries...

I also hate that many people think its better because the world plays it... That is propaganda.

I also hate that many people think rugby is better because only America plays football... This predjudice and discrimination.

I also hate that when you defend something because the person attacking it is in the wrong, they automatically assume that you love the thing that they are attacking. Even though I have stated multiple times I do not like football...


To make clear: if you believe rugby is better, that is your opinion... Which is fine...
But to say it is better because of the things I have stated above... That is not fine because it is not an opinion but you are now incorporating facts.

Haha someone voted option 5 milo biscuits was the reason i bet that was zoii :p

Yeh x games havent watched it yet im pretty sure the ad was on espn the other day i thgt snowboarding would be killer fun until i realised im not into speed and heights in any way i think i worked up to 3hours of trying to stay upright on my board to only reach about a metre about a yards distance to only fall off again! Including my board sliding off and down into a ditch which im glad i could retreive since it was a rental . At the end all
i achieved was a hot chocholate that i looked forward to whether its rubgy x games or football watching it looks so cool but i think ill leave it up to the pros haha.

Don't hate so much, T!! Life is too short!! :)

People are entitled to say something is better because more people like it... it's all about points of views!!

I can say that rugby is better cause people don't wear pads and to me that makes it a tougher sport... why? Cause people get bloody noses, or broken arms, or whatever reason... ;)

Some people like ufc because of the technique... some because of the blood... and some to see two guys killing each other while gorgeous girls raise those signs...

Really... why get yourself so worked up for it?

Be more accepting of other people's opinios, and you will hate less!! Even if all you're hating is the "whys" people use to justify a preference!! ;)

I don't really like rugby or football!! I like soccer!! And why do I like it? I like it because!! :)

It's funny you brought up UFC and boxing.. My roommate from college would always question them. He always said he couldn't understand how someone can "pound someone's head in the ring" and afterwards yell "All the glory go God." Interestingly enough, he is a big football fan and hockey fan, which also have fights in them. Having said that, I do think it's an issue those girls are used as sex appeal in boxing... I really don't understand how someone can be okay with that. In my opinion, it's no different than being a stripper. Men lust after and gauge their looks in both settings. And they have little clothing on.
