That would be impressive if they were not fully padded with helmets on..

If you're trying to impress me, you've failed.

What's your favorite team? It's kinda entertaining sports, but all these commercials are insane.
>>
>>52334984

It's literally just added weight, most of the time it doesn't prevent severe injuries to the spine, femurs, shins, etc.

Those faggot taps in your video looked cute.

Be honest with yourselves burgers, you're not manly enough to play contact sports without a shit ton of padding. Pathetic.

What is superbowl? A cereal contest?

>>52335083

The New Orleans Saints, my hometown. But I always go for the Green Bay packers when they're on.

Secondly, you don't get insane passes like this in rugby.

Yeah.....rugby beats football in badassery by miles. Sorry but even as an American I have to admit that. Nice try Tyler.

Literally handegg.

So it's just faggots punching, and pushing each other with no gear on?
I like football way better, I get to see my favorite team hit the other guys hard, but I stopp know they will survive, also nice short shorts.
>>
>>52335145
those weak motherfucker hit so soft, they actually end up knocking themselves down first.
>>
>>52335145

I don't think you understand.

The football player's career begins in highschool.

From there, if they are the biggest, meanest, evil eat motherfuckers they get to move on to college ball.

If they don't get redshirted and they get enough field time tearing apart their legs, then they get to go to the major leagues.

Where 300lb. 6'3 monsters run into eachother at full speed.

The padding is to prevent people from losing bones. Rugby hits have a lot less momentum than football hits.
>>
football would be good if it weren't for all of the god damn commercials

You are aware rugby is objectively tougher than AF, right? Higher rate of injuries and concussion and we don't wear pads.

Packers, huh. A friend of mine, who's very fond of Giants really dislikes these guys. Says they are too rich, it's not even interesting to watch them play. I used to watch most of the games with 49ers few years ago, kinda got tired of these guys. Right now just downloading records of random matches with strong teams.
>>
>>52335435
also hockey is objectively more intense

less padding, and WAY faster speeds

>So it's just faggots punching, and pushing each other with no gear on?

no?

> I get to see my favorite team hit the other guys hard

You get to see 5 seconds of game time per 1 hour of adverts.. The whole sport is a fucking joke, which is exactly why no one else plays it.
>>
»football
do you mean handegg rugby?
>>
>>52335466

Yes we already know Americans can't spell you don't need to show us.
>>
>>52335449

Europoors don't play with pads because they can't afford them. Injury and concussion rate doesn't matter, you're actually trying to PREVENT those.

Can you imagine running around with about 20lbs. Of armor under the sun?

did you even watch the video, those motherfuckers are like trains.
You see that rugby video they couldn't even knock the other player down.

It's called poorball for a reason.
>>
>>52334749
Why are they all black?
>>
>>52335551

So you're saying the sport that produces more injuries is less tough than the one where all the players wear armour and stop after every hit? Your logic is as muddled as a woman's which is no surprise as Americans = women as their choice in sports shows.
>>
>>52335527

Well if we're gonna get it right, we call it cuju, as the chinks called it.

But now, we call soccer diveball, where pretty faggots like Christiano Ronaldo and Messi run around and make white soccer plays look ugly before they eat dirt and blame whoever was standing next to them.
>>
>>52334749
every time i hear 'super bowl' i imagine soup
>>
>>52335551

Hahahahahahahahaha

>Europoors don't play with pads because they aren't pussies

FTFY
>>
>>52335663

Because black players raised in poverty are usually huge and make good linebackers, generally whatever NFL team has the biggest, angriest niggers inflicts the most injuries.
>>
Americans are just snooty, effete rich kids without the sense to know when they're beaten, hence why they make stupid threads like these and play spoilt rich kid sports like AF.
>>
>>52335742
Well, in the future we might also grow our own ghetto-flowers.
>>
>>52335671

Euroshits think concussions and nosebleeds make a game tough.

If football players didn't wear armor there would be a lot less fucking football players, it's much much more physical exertion than rugby.

Atleast the allblacks have their cute little dance they do before each game, you guys have that.
>>
>>52335738

they don't play with pads because they like to get little itty bitty turf cuts and show off how hardcore they are.

>>52336135

I think the actual game time is good, it's just a shame it's literally a few seconds and then it's endless adverts. At least with Rugby it's 40mins of game time, then adverts at half time and then another 40mins.

The pads defeat the purpose. Players hit harder, and with more abandon, because they're padded. You're not made any safer.

Thats what I'm saying. Im. Just not used to an idea like that. my state has 3.5 million and its tiny (connecticut) its just crazy to imagine a good amount of land that low population
