if rugby is better why isn't american football flooded with tought brits and aussies looking to make millions?

cause everytime they tried they failed. Jacko< Football

there is one very successful american football player with a rugby background. And he's a punter.

it takes more thought than being able to smash your face against another guy in the rain.

Football > than any game thats decided after time is expired by taking turns kicking balls into nets.

they should save time and condense soccer down to the kicks at the end. Since thats what decides the games everytime anyway.

Hell they'd have time to have worldcup every year.

UFC isn't a sport. It's 2 guys beating the sh*t out of each other.  You can go to any streat corner of America and find it.

OR

You can go to any hockey game and see the same thing + an actualy sport

BECAUSE THEY DONT NEED PADS !

there are alot of different rules, like not being allowed to throw forwards, only backwards meaning you have to grind your way to the touchline not throw it half way ^^

a scrum would > american football players ^^

Helmets are made to stop brain damage. Obviously not a concern for rubgy players. Helmets+more rules=not worth millions.

Do you have little league teams for rugby? Do they wear helmets or have rules changes for the childrens saftey? If not then i believe I have found the key to the decline of british civilization

Football has rules. Evidently these are also not a concern for rubgy players.

throwing a pass forward requires a overhanded pass in football, whereas if you wanted to pitch behind you it must be underhand.

 i can see how this would  completly confuse a rugby player.

Rugby and football are both games of velocity and mass. how many 300lb rugby players are there?

i can see why they wont play it takes awhile to get used to the helmet. play soccer with a motorcycle helmet one once and then you'll know what its like.

oh and how they decide 90 minutes of kicking a ball around is to take turns shooting it in each others goal with no one but the goalie? we seen this in hockey and it sucked.

i suggest like hockey playing an additional smaller period with less players(especially the goalie).
but then again i could see the problems communicating the rules changes to everyone since most people that play it barely own a ball much less a television. How many tribes will die from soccer confusion. The stalwart obelisk of their lives shattered by civilization. It would probably be like grabbing god from the sky and slamming him into the ground in front of them.
