| Topic | Why do Americans play gridiron instead of rugby? |
| Gamer99z 06/27/17 4:39:30 AM #4: | cjsdowg posted... People kept dying in rugby so the law step in and football was made. I think compared worst case to worst case Rugby is more dangerous when dealing with spinal injuries and death but I think overall football is more dangerous. Head injuries have gone down in rugby since they decided to keep those cap things I don't remember the name of instead of helmets. It seems counter intuitive but it turns out people play safer without the false sense of security a helmet brings. And there are just a lot more hits and tackles in football to players not expecting it. Dealing with shit like concussions and eventual CTE I think makes football more dangerous overall honestly. Ntm the scummy NFL trying to cover up and hide the dangers and act like it's completely safe. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus ...
