Do you think rugby is better than football?

Question

I do... Its not a weak sport because there is no protection.

Answer 1

first I assume football = American gridiron football and not the rest of the world football (soccer)

I have played rugby and American football. Playing rugby is far and away much more fun and harder. Fitness and the ability to understand them game make it more difficult but more rewarding

As a spectator sport American football is more fun to watch than 15's rugby but 7's rugby is probably the most fun contact sport for spectator

Answer 2

Yes, Rugby unlike American Football does not support obesity.

Answer 3

Rugby is so much better

soccer is just for people who are pussys

Answer 4

I am a big fan of American Football, Football and of course, Rugby (although, I can not watch as many matches as I would like in the US).  Each sport appeals to me in a different way and I respect the athletes who play either, especially on a professional level, because if any of them were easy, weak etc., I'd be the first in line to collect my million dollar paycheck.  h**l, we'd all be trying to be professional athletes.  I love American football because it's what I grew up watching.  I love Football (soccer) because I always imagine being at Old Trafford with thousands of fans in the cold, rain whatever cheering on Man U.  I love rugby because, I LOVE THE ALL BLACKS, and because it is just non-stop, pad-less hard-hitting, real action from whistle to whistle.

Answer 5

I do.So much more adrenalin and you can munch people.

Answer 6

Soccer is a chicken sport. Sorry to soccer players out there but you guys are a disgrace to me.

Answer 7

i so agree..

Answer 8

h**l YEAH

Answer 9

I DEFINITELY think rugby is better than football. No offense to those that play football, as I know it takes strength and speed to be a good player, but to play rugby, it takes a different kind of person. A person willing to go all out for their team, to work their bums off for the entire game, knowing they may not even get to touch the ball, a person who knowingly puts their body out there, ready to hit and chance getting injured for the glory and fun of the game. It's amazing and fast paced to watch and glorifies pure athletisism in its most raw form (no protection, just a sense of hardcore game play and strength). Rugby is one game that's hard to take your eyes off of and is constant in the players and fans, alike, in their passion for greatness in an 80 minute time frame.

Answer 10

Football is S**T compared to RUGBY I hate football all the players are PUFFS!

Answer 11

Nah, football is better

Answer 12

RUGBY is THE BEST sport EVER Football is probably THE most BORING sport EVER!!!!!!!

Answer 13

I played football in elementary, middle and high school. I think rugby is better because anybody can carry the ball or score. there is room for almost any body type in Rugby, I like fact you have to be fit to play and you play both offense and defense-you cannot just specialize. Even the guys like Johnny Wilkinson, who is a great kicker is a very good player with the ball and can tackle. I would much rather watch and play rugby now compared to American Football. I have been able to handle the ball in 2 years of rugby than I did for 8 years of playing American Football.

Answer 14

yes.

Answer 15

h**l yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and to the idiot above me,football comes nowhere near rugby wen it comes to excitement.football is the most boring sport.no wonder why other countries dont want to play it.nfl is so boring

Answer 16

It's like compaing ballet dancing to aligator wrestling!! Football (soccer)  is for the rejects that never got picked in the rugby team!!! Skinny nerds that don't like the biffo!!!

Answer 17

I gew up laying Rugby and I watch it today.  The ACT Brumbies of course.

I didn't get to play Football, but think it's great.  Especially the World Cup or the Champions League.

Go Liverpool

Answer 18

i think rugby is a lot better. everyone has a big part in the game and i think there is a lot more respect in the game. in the premiership everyone tells the ref to f*** off includin the players where as in a rugby game the ref is the ruler and between the players there is more respect. also the money difference. i get more entertained going down to see sale sharks play thean going to manchester united and i am sure the sharks are on a lot less money

Answer 19

Rigby is better than football. I love rugby, I hate football. Football is, in my opinion, full of posers who get more attention for their actions off the pitch than on it and are big wimps who spend more time rolling around clutching their legs and moaning that they have been fouled than actually playing. They all get paid far too much. Rugby is the greatest sport on the planet.

Answer 20

We're on the rugby part of the site, the odds are indisputably going to be on rugby's side.

Rugby beats out american's football... because rugby hasn't sold its soul for profiteering, commercials, and hype. Also because football takes an hour two watch 5 minutes of game time, whereas rugby seems to be non-stop particularly when you're on the field.

Rugby kicks real football in the s*****m... because you have to have real courage and be really tough. I hate how much acting there is in football anymore. If I want to see someone pretend to cry I'll just turn on the tv and watch some stupid soap opera.
