Rugby
Fullbacks, Halfbacks, Wings, Centres, Scrums three rows of players and a guy called the fullback that acts much like a linebacker and safety rolled into one. Virtually no pads or equipment other than cleats and an oblong ball much like a "soccer" ball that a fat dad sat on during his son's "soccer " game. full contact. running plays, kicking plays and sortof passing plays
Football American
Offense and Defense squads, linemen, receivers, fullbacks, runningbacks, quarterbacks, safety and linebackers. different structures for Off. and Def. more direct contact, specialized positions and players, lots of pads and equipment and a ball shaped more conducive for throwing. Specialized plays for kicking, no such thing as a tie.
Football (Soccer)
lots of running, lots of kicking, minimal equipment and round ball (unless your dad sat on it during the game) not much set structure except when the ball leaves boudries. Goalies, fullbacks, halfbacks, wings/ fowards. cant use your hands unless the goalie or throw-in. Not full contact, lots of head usage.
so give me your opinions about Rugby vs. Football American. which one is more manly? I think it's obvious, but I want to know what you think. also consider how football american and football have lots of commonalities with rugby but not each other. I think Darwin would say that Rugby was the ancestor of both kinds of Football what do you think?

if americans had invented soccer or rugby, one of them would be our absolute favorite. but we'll always be prejudiced toward football. but which is more manly? = rugby
Rugby, no doubt. If you add all the professional rugby players together you might have a mouth full of teeth.
Absolutely, rugby. The man sport of all man sports!
Football is great cause that is what we grew up with.
Soccer, communist plot to destroy America. Much more physical agility and stamina than football, but not for me or mine!
I think y'all are on the right track, Rugby is hands down rougher and tougher. and no contest, soccer is the 3rd on the list, but dont be surprised if pretty soon you see me carrying around a hammer and sickle in support of football.
commie party represent! Scott, will you join us in our new commune?
