Why do people say stupid things like Rugby is a sissy sport. That's just as stupid as saying american football is a sissy sport. Golf on the other hand.....

We're so good at everything that we often win at the sports we don't give an F about. Oh, well. The price of being the best country in the world.

Nah, we just win at tennis and golf.
We'd take you on at real football (i.e. gridiron), but you can't even find 22 guys tough enough to step on the field.

If we cared about rugby we'd dominated it as well. I bet if you took the Florida State American football team and trained them to play rugby they'd be the world's best in less than a year.

Rugby is a very physically demanding sport. I agree it's not a sissy game at all. Cricket or baseball on the other hand....:D

Cricket and baseball require skill. Rugby is for mindless weaklings.

Cricket is a far tougher sport than baseball. In cricket you are allowed to bowl straight at the batsman's head if you want.
Also baseball players have to wear those stupid big gloves to catch the ball. That has to be the most girly way to take a catch ever invented.

Not to mention baseball players wear tights :D. Baseball is actually fun to play, but dreadfully boring to watch.

Let's stick to one argument at a time. Just because baseball is superior to cricket, I won't knock cricket. It's not half bad, though baseball players could beat the living ************ out of sissy cricketers.
Now back to football vs. rugby.

Europeans like sissy sports because they have class something most Americans lack.
