American football vs rugby?
i'm gonna attempt to settle the debate between the sport with tougher guys
you could make an argument for rugby because they have no pads. however, the hits they make are more of "everyone pile on the guy with the ball" than football. this is the only case i can think of for rugby
in football, the emphasis is knock the crap out of the guy with the ball, and then everyone dog piles you. every single play, at least 8 guys on the team will try to completley knock the crap out of the other team. in rugby, one guy gets people to jump on him. in football, a 254 pound brian ulacher rocks a 200 pound tomlinson, and then smashes him to the ground. in rugby, a guy gets dogpiled.
if guys didn't wear pads in foot ball, they'd die. if guys didn't wear cups in rugby, they'd be fine (that was just a joke.)
what aer your reasons for which sport involves tougher guys? why?

i would like to add finally that wearing pads and not shorts makes you look like a
Bad *** Mutha even if you're not black (heh heh)
i mean, come on, don't you think that urlacher looks much tougher and more intimidating when he's wearing pads? in the locker room, he just looks like a normal body builder, but with pads, he's scary as hell.
same things with one of my friends. in school, he's just a normal guy. but when he puts on his pads, he looks like he's ready to hit someone so hard their kidney's wind up in their cup

and don't give football players wear pads as a reason. the more pads, the harder you hit.
in football, it's run as fast as you can and deck the guy you're running towards.
or juke. whatever.
in rugby, it may hurt just as much, but only cuz they're not going full speed after the first few minutes.
it's run as fast as you can, slow don, then hit.
as a summary, football= run, run, run CRUNCH
rugby= run run, slow down a little, crunch.
still a solid cruch, just not as bone jarring.
in football, run as fast as you can into other guy = good job
in rugby, run full speed into other guy = stretcher

American football is a unique sport -- it is a game about gaining territory as much as it is about scoring points. When two teams step onto a football field, each is battling for every inch it can take from the other. Each team wants to defend the field that is behind it and invade the field in front of it. Ultimately, they want to gain enough ground to score a touchdown or field goal.
In this article, you will learn about the field, the positions, and how points are scored, with a focus on professional football rules. We will also look at some basic techniques for the offense and defense. To learn more about football, read How NFL Equipment Works and How the Physics of Football Works.

Football is a game of inches played on a field measured in yards -- English measurements are used to track movements on the field. Teams succeed based on how many yards they accumulate or allow. An official NFL football field is a rectangle that is 120 yards (110 m) long and 53 yards, 1 foot (49 m) wide. Most fields are covered in grass and set in an outdoor (open-air) stadium. Some fields are made of artificial turf, which you'll find in many of the indoor stadiums.
