I belong to a Crimson Tide Facebook page, and we had some Rugby Fans come to the page, arguing that Rugby is the more brutal sport between the two..Since it's the off-season & slow right now, I wanted y'alls opinions, so I hope the Mods doesn't mind me making this post..Here's a video they posted & said that proved Rugby was the more brutal sport of the two, to an extent, I agree that it is more brutal, just cause they wear no protection or pads..But..I do think American Football has the more brutal hits of the two, cause wearing helmets & pads, it allows for the most brutal hits of any sport on the planet..And wearing protection allows players to hit running full steam without slowing down(full speed impact I guess is what I'm saying)..I noticed in the video it looks like Rugby players lower their heads, when they make a hit, that looks dangerous & foolish to me, cause we've seen to many of our players crippled, when they lowered their heads to make a vicious hit..
Which sport do you y'all think is more brutal of the two???..I think it's a close call between two extremely brutal sports, I think American Football is the most brutal on the planet, I must say I wish Rugby was on TV more here in the US during our off-season, cause it would be a good alternate in the off-season, as we wait for College Football to start up again..It's a sport I honestly think us College Football Fans, could get into & respect as a sport, if it was played during the off-season of College Football..To me it's a way more entertaining than soccer & baseball(I love playing baseball, but, can not sit watching a game on TV)..Is there any Rugby Fans here on TideFans????..
