We spend our spare time getting bashed, crunched, punched, stood on, gouged, bitten, crushed, twisted and bent.
And we love it. I don't see a problem with it.

A real sport that involves no frickin pansy ass pads like american football. Kick the habit, play rugby.
Joe went to play rugby to break his face in. His other friend Charles went to play american football and got a bruise.

a sport played by real men that aren't afraid to get tackled. unlike that poofy padded up to ur fuckin balls sport that u fat americans play that stops every 10 seconds. every time an american football player gets past the first down line they fall to the ground or run out of bounds cos they are scared of getting tackled even though they are covered from head to toe in pads and bubble wrap. fuckin pussies. saying that pads make the game tougher is bollocks. there are more concussions and serious injuries in rugby than any other ball sport, FACT. saying that rugby and REAL football have no strategy just cos they dont have to remember hundreds of plays just shows how retarded you are. sport is supposed to be about physical fitness and skill. not a fucking memory game. american football game might last longer but that dont mean the players have more endurance and stamina, cos most of the time they are standing around doing fuck all between the plays and only half the team play at a time.
american football is rugby for poofs

A highly skilled game. Players rely on each other to work as a unit and to support each other in open play. you cant fall over if someone messes up your hair (like in soccer). and no homo helmets (football). union more flowing than league, but both good. England to win world cup, come on the boys!!!
man 1 - do you follow rugby?
man 2 - no, i follow soccer.

a game for real men. no pads, no subs, all physical contact. most games are accompanied by a large party afterwords.
rugby players: we may not go down in history, but we will go down on your sister.

Hard hitting, fast paced. Great fun. Not, as many have mentioned, an excuse to get in a fight. In fact, fights don't often happen, and when they do, they're over rather quickly. Very little padding (only a scrum cap, and perhaps some shoulder pads---Neither of which make you a pussy. Plenty of pro players use them). A true game for all. No if, and, or buts. Anyone and everyone can play, there's a position to fit each (Just ask our former hooker, who's about 4'10", 90 pounds soaking wet).
Elegant Violence.
Brimming with camraderie. You play, kick some ass, and go party afterwards.
Go All Blacks! New Zealand for the Cup!
American Football stems from this.
