jesus fucking christ. Show me something that is more than 96 million EVERY FUCKING year

if the superbowl was once every 4 years it would easily eclipse 150 million viewers.

If you like the sport then embrace it, be proud of it but cease with the stupid comments

I didn't say anything about padding. My point is these guys are true physical specimens. Because of the speed and agility they possess the game is very exciting. Who is sensitive about the padding issue? Now that is a stupid comment.

The padding is so they don't kill each other.

AGAIN to each his own.

YOu have been told at least three times in this thread that a "game plan" for the next play must be thought up of. They huddle and decide on a play between downs.

i played football in highschool, and had pads, but i loved playing the same sport, without pads... i don't know how many times have i hurt myself, or others playing football without pads... but guess what... we in america, care about ourselves and would rather have pads and break a leg, then not have pads and kill ourselves...

i bet none of your rugby players go diving over a tackle or something and slam head first into each other at full force just top stop a touch down or whatever it is you guys call it

If the game was NFL then the NFL players would win and if it was Rugby then the Rugby players would win. Still not entirely sure why you have this obsession about 'levelling' and 'full force' but will put it down to sensitivity over the padding=gay worry.

Fact time. Rugby was a growing and popular game in the USA in the late 1800's. Rule changes were suggested originally by Walter Camp in 1876 (who was on the Yale Rugby team) to make the game 'easier' and to reduce the number of injuries. Out of this came American Football along with protective elements to the players because Rugby was 'too hard and brutish a game'

Oh dear it seems American Football is the gay offspring of Rugby!

Americans like OUR versionof football and if that bothers you, well tough shit. Soccer has been tried here in American more thna once and it fails miserably. Ironic since it's one of the more popular organized youth sports. yet when those youths get older they could give a rats ass about watching it on TV.

Also hockey is Canadas sport not soccer. Baseball is the sport in japan and in other asia countries as well as most of the Caribean and Latin America.

Well maybe we'd like to have our star players have careers longer than 3 years.

I don't get rugby. Seems just like a big game of toss the ball to someone before you get your ass kicked then kick it at some pole for no good reason. WTF kind of sport is that?

So the World Cup final (1.3 billion viewers) or the Euro Final (153 million viewers) does not qualify as a single watched event then?

Ok lets go for the English FA Cup final (once a year) and has an TV audience of 250 million worldwide or does that not count because its worldwide (ie popular) and not just the UK (which was 11 million)

Bit like a sport where everyone comes waddling out swathed in god knows what, go into a huddle, line up against each other, run at each other while the man with the ball runs around trying desperately to get rid of it before he gets tagged. Repeat for 4 hours.

It is so fucking boring!! If you have luck, you will enjoy 20 seconds at once, because they stop it very frequently.

Thank's God, our most popular sport over here is FOOTBALL!! REAL FOOTBALL!

I think you call it soccer in North-America.

RUGBY is for men. Not American Football where they use 20 kg of protectors.

Yes soccer is a laugh

What sport is that? Not football. if you "get rid" of the football in american football that would be a FUMBLE and that's bad. And there is no "tagging" this isn't flag football

Baseball is enjoyable to watch and is more of a European game than an American one which is why it has enjoyed some export success (Japan, Venezuela etc)

But Latin America was a stretch. Brazil, Argentina et al the game of soccer is a relegion. The suicide rate in Brazil goes through the roof in World Cup year if Brazil do not win.

Rugby guys are a breed all of their own, thick as a box full of hammers and tough as nails.

As for size and speed? errr Rugby guys are huge and run head on into each other and they're not slow... good players need size and speed...

hmmm where do you get the 150lbs shit from? The average player would be 100+kgs but the biggest difference there would be they are not injecting with steroids and aren't fat fucks.

You would surely lose that bet.

Might be worth you watching a rugby game, as they always hit each other head on at top speed. You'd be surprised at how hard their bodies clash.

Hmmmm

"Players born outside the 50 United States represented 27.4 percent of those surveyed on the 2006 Opening Day rosters of the 30 Major League Baseball Clubs, it was announced today.

Overall, 223 of the 813 players (747 active, 25-man roster players and 66 players on disabled lists) on April 2 rosters were born outside the 50 United States, representing 15 different countries and territories. The 2006 figure of 27.4 percent is the third highest total on record, with last year's record high of 29.2 percent (242 out of 829 players) leading the way.

The Dominican Republic, with 85 players, produced the most Major Leaguers born outside the U.S., while Venezuela had the next highest total with 43 players and Puerto Rico follows with 33. "

Because you have over 40 million latino inmigrants living in USA. The latin minority has become bigger than the Black/Ebony minority.

And Bush moved trops this week to the Mexico limits to stop thousands of latino going insida USA every week.

I also ask myself why there are so many latinos, or latin lastnames in this biz

Same reason I guess

Well, the same I answered above

But let's go straight to things here... there are about 30 countries in Latin AMerica, of whom around 25 have Soccer as thier most popular sport

If Cuba, Venezuela or Dominican Republic have Beisball as their first sport, that does not change things really

All them represent maybe 5% of LAtin America, in terms of population and in terms of territory

Not a big deal.

This statement makes you look like an idiot. Since when does the amount of goals decide if its a great game or not? Ive seen plenty of great soccer games with tons of skill which resulted in a scoreless draw. Ive also seen plenty of hockey games which resulted in very little goals being more exciting than some games with a lot of goals.

There are boring games in soccer as Im sure there are in football. This comparing sports is really retarded. Its really what you are into and how much you know about the sport. I didnt grow up watching football so I dont understand it, dont know any players, which teams are good etc.. that doesnt mean the sport is boring.

I watch American Football, I watch regular football (soccer, I'm sorta excited about the World Cup). I watch Major League Baseball. I'm watching the NBA playoffs. I watch volleyball games. I mean I watched the damn Winter Olympics.

Bottom line: who the hell cares what is better than what else and which players can beat up who? Everyone get over their preferred sport and just watch whatever the hell game you want to watch.

If you wanna understand American football, Come to the Us on any friday night in October and find the local High School! The feeling is unreal! Most these kids have been in full pads by 3rd grade and let me tell you 3rd graders can hit, I mean absolutly level someone! High school games run alot quicker than college or pros! Local school runs no huddle 5 wide out offence! Very fast 2 and a half hour game are the normal and have seen a game over in 1 and half!
