Answer 2

Football players wear pads and a helmet due to the nature of the game, where an effecient tackle isnt near as important as trying to behead your opponent. Both sports are brutal, but in Rugby most tackles are at the legs where in the NFL most defensive players want to hit the opposing player as hard as humanly possible above the waist or in the head if possible.

I think that the pads have gone too far at this point, with rib protectors and everything else. I have played both sports and can say that I sustained more injuries playing football than I did when playing rugby, due to 300lb defensive linemen crushing me on a weekly basis and that was in high school. Rugby was more of a gentlemans sport where you got hit and knew it, but they were not really trying to kill you.

Answer 3

j man, what kind of fantasy world are you living in? no such competition took place. what kind of loser are you where you would make something like that up? you're so pathetic.

now to answer the question. it's because rugby is a contact sport, football is a collision sport. football players are bigger, faster, and stronger than rugby players. and unlike rugby players, football players get a running start and pop each other at full speed. it's a much, much, tougher and more dangerous sport than rugby. and if by chance a bunch of 200 LB rugby players stepped on the field and tried to play a football game with an NFL team as they did in j mans imagination, the final score would be about 100-0, NFL. put down the crack pipe j man.

Answer 4

The real reason is simple, The players in the nfl are huge, and fast. Even with pads, players get hurt in every game. Without pads players would die on a regular basis. There is just a difference in the way the games are played, in american football there is more space between players giving them more of an opportunity to hit harder. Trust me, no 200lb rugby player wants to be hit by a 300lb DE running full speed without pads.

Answer 5

distinctive circumstances human beings might want to anticipate topics as there is not any more sufficient room to style your existence tale. If I spoke back your question i'd have only suggested that each and every toddler is diverse and that i began all of my youthful children on cereal at 4 months then more effective fruit a week or so later, vegetables at 5 months and meat at 6 months. I fairly have 3 healthful children and no hypersensitive reactions. some human beings even positioned rice of their formula at some weeks which i do not trust yet even as the wellbeing practitioner says it really is astounding then so be it!

Answer 6

I salute the valiant defence from the Americans answering this question! Unfortunatley for them the answer of whether or not rugby players are better than NFL players has already been proven for us. 2002 saw a competition between NFL and Rugby, (top teams in both accounts)each team had to play the other at its own game, i was a spectator. Sorry U.S, the rugby players won on both occasions, excuse me, thrashed the NFL on both occasions.

Answer 7

Because they can afford the stuff, and it's better to be safe than sorry. The American footballers will be laughing last when they are still alive in 20 years since the didn't get concussions all the time.

Answer 8

Send some rugby team over here to play a game against an NFL team & we'll see who blinks first.

Answer 9

in 1903 several players died, and President Teddy Roosevelt was pressured into making it safer, this is what prompted the formation of what would become the NCAA and safety equipment such as helmets and pads.

Answer 10

you obviously haven't watched american football, the padding is to prevent broken bones. The tackling is different in rugby.

Answer 11

Because they're both comlpetely different games.

The tackles and hits are different, and as such the risk of injury in the US game is considerably higher.
