maxi pads

One of the most common arguments about NFL is that they hit each other much harder than Rugby, which is why they need all that gay padding. Nobody realises that the only reason they hit each other so hard is because of the padding, and not the other way round. Remove the padding and we'll see how hard they're all willing to tackle.

Everyone should know this from a young age, when you're play fighting and both of you are wearing lots of padding, don't you realise how much harder you go at each other (inb4 gay sex reference)

It's just human psyche

plus the object of NFL is to make plays and pushes that outwit and outrun the opponents

the point of rugby, more so, is a philosophy of 'push forward no matter fucking what and bulldoze them'

i have fond memories of rugby lessons in school where the teacher would sound like a world war one officer in the trenches

MARCH FORWARD, OVER THE TOP YOU GO

Attrition. Nice to see British tactics have evolved so much since the Middle Ages

This is, of course, the correct answer.

They get paid millions of dollars to beat the shit out of each other. I'm sure the results would be much the same if they didn't have pads. There would just be more injuries. I'd take a top NFL team over the top rugby team in the UK when it comes to 'toughness'.

No they wouldn't, you sort of said it yourself. They get paid millions of dollars to play the game. These guys know if they get injured that's gonna hurt their career prospects and their overrall game. It doesn't work like that, no matter how much you try to categorise these guys as a bunch of hard ass meatheads with no fear. There's the winning mentality but it only goes a certain distance.

All it would do is weed out the idiots who destroy themselves before they even get a career started. If you had some hypothetical scenario where suddenly all padding was removed from the NFL. The game would quickly evolve. Or perhaps...devolve into its original form.

LoL
