Whats better football or rugby and why?

I'm glad you like football. I like Rugby. For you, football is better and for me rugby. It is the way of the world that different people like different sports and as long as they get enjoyment out of watching/playing their favourite sport is there any point arguing which one you think is better when different people will never agree. Personally I don't think there is.

Well considering you asked this in Rugby i reckon u will not be surprised to find out most here will prefer Rugby. Why? Because they love the game. Its not that hard. As for me i dont badmouth 'football' (assuming u mean American Football) i simply could not be bothered looking at it because of all the stopping every 7 seconds. I also dont like when guys say "oohh they wear protective padding so they are sissys" ..... yeah all wel and good folks to say that but hey it p1sses me off when people who dont understand Rugby and especially the rucks say its Gay. I have no doubt that football might be a decent game but i dont have the patience. I love the passion on big match days in regards to Rugby. Heineken cup knockout games, Internationals, Barbarian games, Lions Tours etc etc ..... its the best. Just saw the Yahoo Answers United States now :P

I personally prefer Rugby but drzzy your saying you prefer rugby because you've played it but have you actually experienced Football before, is this a fair source?

RUGBY. Football is for people who don't want to hurt themselves with their helmets shoulder pads. In rugby your free of those helmets and shoulder pads. Rugby is really fun,

Rugby. A game for all shapes and sizes. The game they play in Heaven. As BLM pointed out, football? American, soccer, gaelic, AFL
