Re: The real 'football' argument.
I agree in regards to NFL... thoughts on Rugby?

Re: The real 'football' argument.
Well, I reckon Union is a better game, having never seen any NFL game or knowing absolutely nothing about it and therefore not being able to be proved wrong. But they still do use their hands, and the ball is kinda an egg shape. So...

Re: The real 'football' argument.
but there's a lot more kicking in Rugby (for the purposes of this discussion and, well- life in general- Rugby refers to Rugby Union... League is not a sport), and that kicking is more than just converting try's- the kicking is a vital tactical part of the game...

Re: The real 'football' argument.
Yes, but running with the ball in your hands is not involved at all in football, is it?
I suggest Union should be called Handeggkick.
Or, you know, we could just call it Union.

Re: The real 'football' argument.
It's technically called a rugby "ball" even though its an egg shape. I have though found that yelling out "PASS ME THE EGG" gets you some strange looks.
Re: The real 'football' argument.
Yelling that out in a game of rugby, or just in the street? Because I could understand the weird looks in the street.Nick wrote:I have though found that yelling out "PASS ME THE EGG" gets you some strange looks.

Why are so many Union fans so pretentious?
Is it due to the demographic with which the sport is popular or are there other factors?
Groove Champion- I think it's a video game.

Re: The real 'football' argument.
I think he means that you said League isn't a sport, when clearly it is, and you're just being snobby because you prefer Union.

Re: The real 'football' argument.
Ok, so Rugby league is a sport- in the same way that American Wrestling is, you know, predetermined story lines etc...

Can you lay out your whole argument so that I can stop asking questions?

Re: The real 'football' argument.
piece-meal is more entertaining... and i has to go, needless to say the NRL is a joke of a governing body and Rugby league is for chumps who don't understand the rules to a proper game of rugby or what it means when a woman says no. There i said it!

Re: The real 'football' argument.
Well, rugby league exists outside of the NRL, you know. Also, the incompetence of the governing body doesn't impact on the legitimacy of the sport. I think the English FA are rubbish, but the Premier League is doing just okey dokey.
As for the difference in rules, having different rules doesn't mean it's not a sport. For the record, I much prefer union because it has that flow to it, but league's still a sport.

Re: The real 'football' argument.
I believe what Glen was trying to say, reading between the lines, was that League is shite. And c'mon, we all know it is.

1: Pretentious?!?? Didn't I tell you to stop making up words.
2: ???
3: Rugby is a sport that was born in an elite private school and has basically been adopted by alot of private schools in Britain/Australia other places too (maybe). Basicaly all the rich people love it and look down on league because its a strange weird game to them. Look at league fan and football (soccer).
4: League is a sport, though I find that people who don't like league still leech the 3 state of origin games from it before going back to their hatefilled ways.
Re: The real 'football' argument.
For the record, I think State of Origin is balls as well. But you already knew that.

Re: The real 'football' argument.
Did I just hear that the super bowl was won in the last 2 minutes? Didn't that happen last time? And probably the time before. It's rigged, I'm telling you, it's so obvious.
