We consider it necessary
The whole friggin’ game is “unnecessary roughness.” It’s called FOOTBALL.

No it’s not. It’s called “American Football”.
“Football” is the game played with your foot (not your hands as well) and a ball.
Oh yeah? How do you explain Rugby Football?
I’ve never heard of “rugby football” only “rugby”. It’s called “rugby” because the rules were codified at Rugby School in Rubgy, Warwickshire.
*Rugby
Allow me to pwn you. Are you familar with http://www.rfu.com ?? I wonder what the “rfu” stands for? I can’t help but think that it stands for “Rugby FOOTBALL Union.
You got served.
And there’s Gaelic Football .. Australian Rules Football ..
or australian rules football.
not your hands? so what does the goalie use then? or diego maradonna?
Or ‘American football’ to the rest of the world, where ’soccer’ is called football. Don’t even get me started on the naming of the ‘World’ Series.
Actually, it’s called Gridiron Football, if you want to get technical about it.
It’s still men wearing what looks like tights.
and groping each other.
*wrinkle forehead*… Oh, you mean handegg!!!
Hahahahaha
+1 to you.
Anyone notice that there are two footballs?
I’m pretty sure the second one is an elbow, chief.
American football looks a lot closer to rugby than football, so why didn’t it get called American rules rugby?
And Why Australian rules football when there plainly are no rules? The only rule I’ve worked out is one guy gets the ball and everybody tries to kill him.
If you had bothered to read the previous comments you would have known that ‘rugby’ is short for rugby union football.
There is also Australian Rules Football, Gaelic Football, Rugby League Football and Association Football (soccer).
There are also plenty of rules in Australian Rules Football. Like you get a free kick if you catch the ball after it travelled through the air for more than 10 yards, carrying the ball is illegal, throwing is illegal etc.
Would have been funny if American football weren’t rugby light. Seriously, what’s with all the padding, and why does play stop so frequently?
agree
I won’t get into all of it here, but they wear all the padding because there was a time when football players were dying from injuries on the field. It’s an incredibly hard hitting game. As for play stopping, that has to do with the fact that the game is composed mainly of set pieces or plays.
An NCAA linebacker would destroy any rugby player you put against him, pad or no pads. Soccer is a good sport—for girls. Iowa is a bad example though–not sure why they keep getting posted.
Cause someone keeps submitting them and people keep voting for them.
hahaha thats funny. Any Super 14 (or even pro European) rugby forwards would have no problem disposing of gridiron football players. As for the backs, theyre smaller, but they can run circles around any NFL players. and for the record, im canadian, where gridiron football is severely overhyped, just like in the USA. oh, and being fat in pro rugby is pretty much non-existent, unlike in the NFL where 56% of players are obese
Iowa’s a bad example? So I take it their defense must not be a hard hitting group that shut down a stud like Dwyer? Oh, wait…they ARE a very physical defense. Stop hating, get over yourself.
Will the lame Iowa Hawkeyes fan PLEASE stop submitting pictures? Thanks.

(hugs all Iowa fans for good taste)
I guess you’ve never seen a pro football player or even college player up close. Also, I’d put any wide receiver against any rugby or soccer player for athleticism. FYI–even the “obese,” guys are fast. Further, when Iowa’s defense can stop any SEC team, then they are tough.
Get over it people.
Either way, this is child’s play. Have you seen the damage they do in rugby union, WITHOUT padding? People don’t die either. American football is soft.
Football is the best. Rugyby sucks so does soccer
