[quote="Short Hand":f5db2]obviously you know nothing of football then. oOo:

ohh, and pyro was right. biggrin:[/quote:f5db2]

Dude, don't be pathetic by just stating "pyro was right," when you know nothing about what he was talking about. That's an entirely different topic, and you obviously know nothing about it, so stay out of it.

Now, instead of simply stating "you know nothing about football then" as your rebuttle, why don't you explain yourself. I mean, I explained why I think its a sport for pussies compared to Rugby.



[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":f5db2]*sigh* we've already had this conversation about wearing pads makes you a pussy. I played tailback in high school, and I experienced two high ankle sprains, and one major ACL tear. I had two teammates break their hips, another break his leg, one dislocate his shoulder, another dislocate his elbow, and countless other injuries. If anything, I would say it's moronic to wear no pads at all, and to be honest, I wouldn't want to be a gimp by the age of 28.[/quote:f5db2]

What a bunch of pussies - I played first 15 rugby for literally my entire school life, never played with pads, except at high school level when you're required to wear minor should pads - Which are fucking nipples compared to the giant pads gridiron players wear, and we were only required to wear them because of the major impact on the shoulders in a scrum. - I only experienced minor injuries the entire time I played, cuts, bruises, a few minor dislocations and pulled heaps of muscles. I just don't understand why you guys need pads for that sport. If anything, I think they'd inflict more damage.

I used to play hockey too, and can understand why pads should be worn in a sport like that, where you're moving twice as fast on a surface ALOT harder than grass.....So I'm not totally ruling out the use of pads in sports, I just think it's silly that these guys gear up so much to play a sport like that and then they're depicted as tough-guy soldiers. Just makes them seem like pussies compared to some of the rugby fellas I've met.

[quote="Short Hand":f5db2]its psychological, the hits in football are harder, naturally.[/quote:f5db2]

I really hope you don't mean the hits in football are harder than in rugby, because that is just fucking silly.....

[quote="Short Hand":f5db2]Its just how the game plays out. I've personally fucked up my ankle for life, i can't jog on the thing on solid ground. It's just he doesn't understand, because he has no idea what he talking about.[/quote:f5db2]

What makes you think I don't what I'm talking about?

[quote="Short Hand":f5db2]PS, 2 of my uncles were all province champs for ontario, they went to england to play as well . I also played last season for our schools team, and I watch your beloved black shirts when I see them on Fox Sports Canada.[/quote:f5db2]

Whoop-dee doo - I've played rugby almost my entire life, I've had at least 4 people in my family history play in the All Blacks (Not the fucking "black shirts" - Yeah, I'm sure you've watched my beloved team play plenty of games. rolleyes: )

You can't change my opinion on this - Maybe we should just agree to disagree.
