Football Vs Rugby..?

It’s the number one question in a pub in England, Football or Rugby? Men will continue to argue over which is the best, or most manly sport. Well, i’m going to give my girly opinion on the subject and objectively look at both sports. 

Firstly, lets get to the most girly thing about each sport, the only thing we care about, the menfolk. What do the guys look like? Well, i guess that depends on your type. Personally, footballers look a little girly for me. The rugby players look more manly, with built muscles and deep voices. They don’t muck about with their hair all the time like the footie boys do. So for me, i prefer the Rugby men. However, if you like that waxed, pruned, and hair straightened look in a guy, then footie is for you! 

Next, injuries. When a football player gets an injury, there is all hell to pay, but when a rugby player gets injured, he carries on playing. I can prove this, remember in the last Rugby World Cup, Cheval got his forehead split open and carried on playing. But when Renaldo was kicked in the shin, he had to be carried off in a stretcher. Who seems more manly?

But if you’re looking for a well structured game, i would guess that football was your game, the constant scrums every few steps in Rugby can be a little tiring after a while, the aggression is a little over the top for the faint-hearted. 

Fans. Thats a huge part of a sport. And, like the first, Rugby wins hands down. How many drunken footie fans do you see crawling the streets on a Saturday after the big game looking for a fight? Too many. The rugby fans are a lot more… sophisticated… for want of a better word. It tends to be more about the actual game rather than the unfairness of the ref. 

What else is there? The wives. Footballers wives are much better looking than the Rugby wives. Also, football players get more publication. Their image is slashed across deodorant and hair wax cans, razors and sports wear, yet the only rugby players we see anywhere other that the pitch are Wilkison and Henneson because they are both… in a word… beautiful. 

Rugby players stick to their teams! they don’t bugger off to L.A or Madrid to play over there instead unlike SOME people. But football players are more graceful. They look a little better in a tux too. And they don’t get that cauliflower ear thing like rugby players, because there is not denying that its gross. 

So who wins? Well personally, i don’t care. I prefer Rugby because the men are better looking and the shorts are shorter. The rest is up to you.
