Answer 5

Love the question.  I have always said that football is a game for overpaid prima donas.

     All hail to Wilko, who has not kicked a ball for England for a couple of years, and has suffered some of the worst injuries imaginable.    Yet he played on to score a record for his side.

     The day will come when footballers will be filing for damages against opponents looking at them in a funny colour.

     Pro footballers should get real.  And turn out an honest days work for an extortianate wage.

Answer 6

Although rugby is far more physical, the thrashing around legs, knees and ankles in football causes far more injuries. Rugby players expect the contact and brace themselves for it.
