Rugby vs. American Football Which sport is manlier, /b/?

>>693111569
The one where they make the most money because it takes the most skill, strength and athleticism to play.

>>693111653
That means it has higher demand... Not harder to play.

>>693111569
does it really matter? you're not manly enough to play either.

>>693111569
One has pads, and stoppage in play.

The other is manliest sport of all time.

>>693111704

Which is why so many Rugby players come to America and play football and make huge amounts of cash.

Oh wait, they dont. I guess they are all noble chaps who dont care about money.

>>693111569
Rugby is for real men. Amerifag footballers wear fucking Armor- pathetic

>>693111704
Wouldn't the manlier sport have the higher demand? No one wants to want a sport that's kinda tough. They want to watch a sport that's tough as fuck.

>>693111569
The worst running back in the NFL would kick everyone's ass in Rugby.

>>693111569

Rugby and football are both complete faggot sports compared to Calcio Fiorentino.

>>693111569
Ice hockey is manlier than both

>>693111880
No, it's because they are satisfied with their still very good pay, and they have passion for Rugby, so they aren't just gonna up sticks to the US and play American Football.

Plus the games are quite different, so a Rugby player might not be good at A. Football and vice versa- not because one is objectively harder, but because the player has trained in one sport their whole life

Your logic leaps really are quite far now

Stop with the "who gets paid more" argument because soccer players make more than rugby players and no one thinks soccer is manly.

>>693112147
Hell yeah it is

Ive played both at a college level.

Rugby takes a little more endurance - but believe me, football is tougher but the thing that surprised me - how much I need to learn and know to play. Formations and calls and such.

I was below average football player, but I was all-star in Rugby - if that means anything to you.

>>693112330
>lying on the internet

>>693111998
That's funny, because the worst professional rugby player could probably make it in the NFL.

>>693112591
So why don't they?

Oh, of course - they are all so noble and don't want to make money.

Give me a break, dumbass.

>>693112199
this

>>693111653
so... soccer?

>>693111569
Football, and it's not even close. Rugby is a shit tier sport that's only played by people that couldn't make it in the NBA or NFL

>>693111899
Baseball anyone?! haha
shitloads of money but tough? no way

And pads aren't an argument either you dumb bitches. I tore my acl and broke my femur with full pads on.

>>693112330
It doesn't. I'm decent at football, could not at all trap antimatter... Doesn't make physics "tough and manly"

>>693113125
>Because clearly you would have been better off without pads, just like drivers are better off without helmets

>>693111891
American football was close to being banned because of players being maimed and killed before proper padding. This was before you had guys built like brick shit houses as well.

There was a sport show here in the U.S. that actually showed how much harder U.S. football players hit, they even used a college student at the time as well. Came to the conclusion that if a QB doesn't have pads and gets hit during a play, they'd be paralyzed.

>>693113374
Physics is manly as fuck. Oppenheimer referred to himself as the detroyer of worlds after dropping kickass bombs and ending WW2.

>>693113282
No the are not. Padding in sports makes everything more dangerous. People on the NFL get the same kinds of brain injuries that soldiers get when hey get blown up by an ied

>>693113038
let's see you hit a 100 mph/160 kph ball flying at you with a little stick.

>>693113125

it's not like they have joint braces. you get ran over by a 300 pound man that does nothing but eat and lift, something can pop out/whiplash.

>>693113782
So rugby doesn't use a ball? Nice

>>693111569

Padding makes sports more dangerous. Boxers hit harder with their hands taped up. helmets and shoulder pads let these 400lbs sprinting freight trains hit people harder

>>693113782
half those pads aren't used at pro level.
not to mention, even if they did I'd understand when you're making millions, if you get injured you lose a shit load of money.

you ever seen how fast those guys can move?

>>693114265
If boxers didn't tape there hands there would be less knock outs and people would have to get better at boxing because if they hit too hard they will break their fucking hands. Padding is gay as fuck but saying it makes things safe is not true

>>693112817
No... Baseball.

>>693111653
Lol baseball

I don't know about "manlier" but american football is fucking boring, its just advert after advert after advert inbetween tedious resets, its all about "plays" instead of just going at it for an hour.

I find rugby a lot mroe exciting to watch, plus its always great when the aussies start smashing shades of shit out fo one another.

>>693111704
That is incorrect as well. NFL has highest USA demand and soccer has highest world demand but MLB has highest salaries.

Where did I say it makes things safe? I said they had to punch harder to ring their opponents bell, this is unarguable, the padding increases deceleration time.

>>693115274
might be playing in denver. mile high city where the air is a lot thinner

American here. Even though gridiron hits are technically harder, they use armour to make those hits.

Meanwhile rugby players hit each other without any protections. They also don't stop every 4 seconds for commercials.

In conclusion, rugby is way manlier than gridiron.

>>693115382
Shame they stop all the time

>>693115444
American football by FAR, and I'm from New Zealand.

>>693111880
Jarryd Hayne, rugby league star, played in the nfl and only had 52 yards in his season as a running back. That's something achieved in a normal game. Both sports require different skill sets

>>693111569
i currently play american football at state level but have played rugby my whole life and can easily say while no one has fear in football thus resulting in bigger hits, rugby is so much more physically demanding and requires much more talent.

if i played football my whole life and just joined rugby, i would not have lasted this long

faggot

>>693111569
these sports are incomparable. american football is a mix of highly specialized skill sets all performing drastically different tasks, some of which have no relation to rugby whatsoever. not to mention, american football is a turn-based game whereas rugby is not.

>>693115615

>American here.

>>693116091
that chart is inaccurate, look up condensed NFL games on youtube they have 30 minutes of playtime not 11.

>>693116291
even if it is 30 minutes (it's not) it's pretty fucking pathetic.

>>693116193
>american football is a turn-based game whereas rugby is not.

Anon, this is impressively insightful and makes sense.

>>693116193
exactly, rugby is more about counting on your teamates, brute force and taking decision fast

in american football people are more specialized and perform a task according to a plan prepared long before the action take place.

>>693116250

rugby obviously. and no i'm not a britfag. no equipment needed, and takes way more strength than all those nigger players running around and shit.

I think britbongs underestimate how athletic NFL players truly are.

>>693116544

>takes way more strength

Then why are 90% of rubgy players smaller and weaker and slower than Football players?

>>693115615
so true, when you have 5kg of gear to protect you, you have no fear. in rugby a loose elbow can potentially knock you unconscious

>>693116423
yes it is 30 minutes, look up the games on youtube.

>>693112147
provincial ex rugby player here. played loose forward and lock.

I can actually agree with this. and while ice hockey is an unbelievable fun sport, rugby is overall just a better sport.

it requires you to be fit as fuck, you need upper body, core and lower body strength. as a loose forward you also need pretty strong forearms.
it requires a lot of technical ability.

Rugby: throws the ball backwards constantly so they never have to face anyone head to head

American football is slightly less gay but basically advertising for 12 hours and then someone throws a eggball and then advertisements for 23 hours and repeat. I've never watched a full game of American football as I think the only game last year is still being played.
