The funniest part is…..once they win a Superbowl or Basketball finals or even baseball….They call the team No. 1 in world…that..to some extent is true since no one else is playing the game…haha…Those teams never compete outside US or never even think about taking the games to international borders….why..?

That arguement is hugely undermined by the fact that everyone gets to stop and rest after every play

You have clearly never played Rugby.
The one of the main reasons for not wearing body armour is that players would overheat. “Every hit is a body shaking collision”, it is said that playing Rugby is like being in multiple car crashes without an airbag.
“Burst, speed and power”, you find much more in Rugby as well as alot of endurance in a Rugby game.

same reason they drive on the right…

They tried so hard to be different to the country that has influenced them most.

The protection worn by American Football players simply ups athleticism (about 30kg of equipment). If they didn’t wear so much gear, I SWEAR the sheer number of fatalities or serious injuries (like spinal injuries/paralysis) would make it the deadliest sport. Just pit a Rugby player vs. an American Football player. Whoever wins should allow there sport to be declared winner. Use Ray Lewis on Baltimore though.

after suffering through 4 games of rugby ‘union’ and ‘aussie rules’ rugby, i never again wanna hear how this sport is supposedly ‘better’ than american football. no way, no how. yes, our version of football derived from rugby’s sloppy ‘play’. and dont gimme the ‘theres harder hits in rugby’ crap. bull, you might get 1-2 ‘hits’ every now and then but theyre NOTHING like an NFL hit. wow…a forearm to the face….how…riveting. ive seen players walking around during a ‘try’ so no more gloating about non-stop action from everyone. thats just a stupid lie. the dogpiles are nowhere near as violent as NFL dogpiles and youd be hard pressed to find front-line mash ups constantly in rugby where as in american NFL it happens EVERY PLAY. this game sucks, but hey, it beats soccer at least. off with you.
