What is your favorite sport part 2

[Reason]

This is for some of the other sports that aren't as huge as the others but still loved by many.

[Reason]

I like to watch Rugby when I can catch a game. I love playing tennis, and also love tennis video games. I can't watch it since Pete Sampres left the game. Golf I can't watch too long, but like to start playing here and there. F1 isn't bad, but watching the Australian V8 Supercars is pretty sweet.

[Reason]

Maybe I'll add rugby, tennis and golf to the other poll. Bring over NASCAR and get more defined with the motorsports answers. What do you guys think?

my dad played 15 years of rugby overseas.. now that he's older, i can see first hand how damaging that sport can be and what kind of effect it has on your body...

[shazapple]

Rugby is definitely a hardcore sport. They get a big tip of the hat. They don't wear armour and don't stop every 5 yards, unlike some sports...

Golf is boring to watch, and frustrating to play unless you have mad patience or a tiny bit of skill. I have no particular opinion on tennis, unless you're talking about some of the hot ladies that play it!

[Reason]

I would rank Rugby the most brutal sport, it's fun to watch. I never played it but we used to play full contact football with no pads. We still have the kids that followed us that do it to. They usually start during football season and play before the games come on. It's not rugby but people have left with broken arms, collar bones bloody noses. Props to all the rugby players and the guys that play pad less full contact football.

yada yada, american footballers don't wear pads, so they're pussies....

Obvious you've never played competitive football.

I've played both and I"ll definitely agree that ruggers are gnarly, but they don't come close to hitting each other as hard as their American counterparts do. It was mentioned in the previous poll....Some footballer's are fat, but they will bench your car and deadlift your house. All while sprinting faster than most of us.

Football players have the shortest careers of any other sport (except boxing, maybe) because of the shear brutality.

As for stopping every 5 yards? Gimme a break...for 2hrs, try pushing yourself as hard as you physically can over and over and over and over and over. Every play is an all out sprint or wrestling match. Football is fucking tough.

yeah i've played alittle bit of both and i would say that american football can be just as brutal but its not.. you got alot more impact then rugby. As for the pads, yet the helped, but not very much when your running full-speed at some who's 6'3 280lbs.. not to mention, try having your hand smashed between two helmets.... it sucks a big one.. take my word on it. :lol:

Who said anything bad about American football?

I went with Golf as it's the only one of the three that I actually play.
