As far as crapping on Yankee football and their use of protective clothing... I have been down this road and explained it many times in the here Café... Yankee football is BY FAR the best kind of football and they wear "protective clothing" because of the FAR MORE VIOLENT nature of their sport and because of the way the game is played by FAR LARGER and FASTER players.

If ya wanna shit on Yankee football, do it elsewhere. This thread is about rugby.

Gee whiz... I can't wait til the NFL fires up the new season so I can watch some good football again. Can't see any decent rugby here... yet...but wait til the Yanks get "into it" eh? They got leather balls too.
