Rugby or Football: Which is More Brutal?

First of all, if you have never seen rugby before got to youtube.com and type in rugby, yes that is R-U-G-B-Y. It’s like football and soccer mixed to create a field where a bunch of huge men run around the field playing a sort of ‘smear the queer’ game. Sure to a certain extent football is like that but, it is much more organized and safe. Compared to rugby, football is pretty sissy. Rugby players wear no pads, and only maybe some tape over there ears and hair in fear of them getting ripped off. In some rugby videos you will see helicopter throws (one player picks up a player with the ball and spins him in a circular motion like a helicopter propeller then launches him into the air). Rugby players also do many of the moves seen in the NFL , except with no protection.

I’m not saying I would want to watch rugby rather than football, but just trying to say that it is definitely crazier, more brutal, and more violent than football.
