Undoubtedly ... but we're discussing sports here, not sexual proclivities ...

I actually played for about 7 years, for 3 different teams (Stirling Uni, Nottingham UNi, and Kent). The problem in the UK is that we are not very good at it so there is no way we can compete. Generally it is a game people take up as aduilts i.e. I was 19 when I first played the game. Due to the technical nature of the sport you can never really catch u ...[text shortened]... physically, technically they could not handle a kicking game attacking the corners.

How strange someone actually answered the question with a well thought out logical intelligent response

But maybe some of them might be straight (or is it compulsory for american footballer players to be gay?), and in any case it's not that likely that the rugby players would be gay

Yeah, rugby players only jam their thumbs in opponents asses, squeeze their nuts, bite their penises...

That was all League I think.

Ahhh - Mr Hopoate the butt plugger - rugby league, slightly different sport.

Nut squeezing - saw the French do it in a rugby league game once.

Penis biting?? Are you sure you're not projecting?

I'm sure you'd find as many instances of the big boys in gridiron getting up to similar shennanigans ... like owning asses. How does that work - longest residence wins ownership?

The U.S. is capable of stepping out of their comfort zone and competing around the world at soccer.

Why can't the rest of the world compete at American Football?

Sissies?

'Cause it's crap.

You're right, it was.

Let me clarify: we'd probably lose at rugby, but woul easily dominate at American Football.

Like Treetalk said: "owning asses". What is that all about then?

Oh god, not this argument again!

The two sports can not be compared. Period.

While we are (occasionally) talking about rugby, here's hoping for a good game between the All Blacks and the Springboks in 5 hours!

The ABs should win but the Springboks showed in the final 10 or so minutes last week that with an attacking first five like Pretorious (sp.?) and a willingness to throw the ball around, they can be dangerous.

My boys are struggling...

Let me clarify that more:
The US would lose against the top 10 rugby nations every time and vice-versa.

Most of the time "owning" is used to say that someone was beaten down, or beaten badly.

I said "own their asses", not literally meaning asses.

Well, if Jake told your boys to do what you did in the first and last 10 minutes last week you guys would be very hard to beat.

So you're not gay, after all?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
