    Americans when you call it “rugby for girls” and not “runny jumpy catch between adverts”:

        I can’t even imagine a more ridiculously bad take. Ur bad boooooo. Clearly don’t respect women either. MMA is the only entertaining sport. All others are adults playing children’s games.

      Search “brutal NFL hits” on YouTube and tell me again why you think a bunch of dudes on their knees hugging and playing reverse tug-of-war is manly

        Check the community, Chuckles!

        Besides, I’m a Bears fan, so I’ve seen plenty of footage of Dick Butkus’ hits.

        You know, years ago I saw a bit on a UK NFL show where they had a couple of rugby players and a couple of NFL players try each others’ sports.

        The NFL players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. They’re big guys and they hit hard, and they don’t wear any padding. No thanks!”

        The rugby players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. You’ve got the pads, sure, but that just means everyone hits each other harder! No thanks!”
