Rugby, obviously.

Now, which is manlier, not shitposting or shitposting?
>>
Footbal ofc
>>
>>693781388
Er, American Football obviously, how can Rugby be manlier when it doesn't stop every 5 minutes to let you drink more beer and fire your guns into the air?
>>
Football, and it's not even close.
NFL athletes are literally superhuman. Rugby players are just normal guys. Not hating on rugby or anything, just saying that they couldn't compete with the JJ Watts and Adrian Petersons of the world.
>>
Fuck, OP, we've had this thread a million times.

Football is clearly superior:
>direct contact (none of this rough nudging bullshit)
>strategic plays (no random frolicking grab-ass)
>EVERY position has an important, vital role every single play
>it's actually fun to watch

Amerifag here. Football is pretty tough, but we do wear armour. It still hurts, but not as much as taking a hit without any plate armour. So for that reason I say that rugby is manlier. Same hits but without armour to protect you.

football is kind of the ancient greek ideal of manliness in sports:

dont get me wrong, rugby (or whatever you call it, american football or something) is a very rough sport and lets be real most of us would not survive a single game because we'd get crushed by huge men.

but just look at football players, they are taller than wide (which is neither typical for rugby players nor very man-ly in a biological sense, we didnt descend from gorillas is what i am saying), they run almost as fast as olympic runners and do their stuff for at least 90 minutes, sometimes even 2 hours plus overtime and penalties in the end just like at the european cup this year all the time.
endurance is something mankind was probably best known for before we invented stuff like the wheel, tools and houses. we were true endurance monsters, we could not outrun most prey we hunted but we could certainly outwalk them, even if it took us days and weeks until the animal collapsed from exhaustion.
american football on the other hand is not as well known for its athleticly built and persistent players, jumping upon and ramming eachother is more like something other animals would do, not humans. no wonder there are so many niggers in american football but only very few at the very top of the best football players in the world, especially if you count brazilian almost nigs as something else.

>>
>>693789194
both football and rugby are teamsports, so they're even there, once again a very obvious trait of us men.

now the last part, the aim of both sports: in rugby you carry a lets call it ball somewhere else and put it down. in football you shoot an actually ball shaped ball at your aim. many hunting animals take their prey to a safer place to eat, but only very few animals are known to shoot their prey, like us humans and football players.

tl/dr: football players still look human and do a sport that pretty much defines what humans used to be and combine it with an elegance bulky rugby players could only dream of. when the ancient greeks described their ideal man, young, athletic, well nourished, slightly broader shoulders, the image of a football player comes to mind, not that of rugby players.
the greatest philosophers in the history of mankind agree with me probably that international football is manlier than the american counterpart.
