If anyone wants to play a physical game, why dress yourself up in huge padding unless you truly are a pansy.
Wouldn't they play rugby if they were actually tough?

Clearly the majority of you haven't seen a rugby game, or rugby players, as they would have a field day tearing fat nfl players apart.
As for the recurring theme of saying it to an NFL players face I called Eli Manning a pansy to his face in New York and he did squat all.

Call an NFL player --- ANY NFL player -- a pansy to his face and see what happens to you.

Okay Rugby is not as tough as football. These Pads and muscles is what makes the game tough. No one in the Game of football is a pansy and if they were then they wouldn't be able to play football because what team would want the player?

I totally agree with you about the whole padding part and yes they shood play rugby if they are tuff but in a lot of areas- schools, colleges, and leages dont have rugby as an option so football IS the next best thing, u kno? "back in the day" they didnt have as much padding, i agree that football is a little more pansy BUT if it wuz so pansy, everyone cood play.

Football players play, hit, and contact far more violently than do rugby players -- hence the need for shoulder pads and helmets. A lot of rugby fans don't seem to understand this, but it's pretty obvious. Maybe they've just never actually watched football.
If Rugby players hit each other the same way football players do, they'd certainly all be out of the game very quickly from skull fractures, concussions, broken jaws, separated shoulders, broken collar bones, and the occasional death.

rugby is a contact sport. football is a collision sport. rugby players are simply trying to get their opponent to the ground, football players are getting a running start and trying to take each others heads off. football players are bigger, stronger, faster, and far more skilled than rugby players. i would love to see some european or aulstralian rugby team step onto the field with the chicago bears. they would be leaving on stretchers if they're lucky, in body bags if they're not.

Yes, it is. Real men play hockey.
In hockey, you can't run out of bounds, and you don't play on a sissy surface like grass. It's ice over concrete, with wood walls and plexiglass to smash your face into. And even if you miss those, the goal is made out of steel tubing.
Football and rugby are tough? Puh-leeeez....

Why don't you go ask one of the NFL players this to their face and see who's the pansy then!

well guessing that you don't play the sport...........can't really blame you. but have you ever tried having a 300+ lb. guy lunging at you? probably not.........so unless you have tried that before i don't think you should criticize their protection. they are humans too. this is their career just like yours. except yours may not be as dangerous.
