I had a tough time picking between rugby and chess. Seriously. You put it there for fun, but it was taunting me! Chess is a classic game and rugby is such a fun simple game of basic teamwork which is an important element I love in sports. Soccer/football is also fun of course. I don't care for American football that much, but I'll play it.

I went rugby. American Football is such a crap game. All the people who invented it did was modify the rules of rugby, change the points a little, make it so that all these "athletes" need to be encased in more armour then a medieval knight, and to cap it all off, they steal the name of another sport, one that has been in existance for far longer, and a sport that is known as football everywhere on the globe except North America where it is known as soccer.

Rugby vs. American Football? No contest, Rugby demolishs it every single time.

Rugby? Which code League or Union? I prefer League which is more Open play. Union is very rule bound Mad
Tough sports? How about Gaelic football or Hurling ? Wink(hockey is too soft)

NCAA basketball not being a choice, I'll be politically incorrect and vote for good ole smash mouth American football.

Who needs a ball? Amateur Wrestling. Two guys, one mat, and a ref to tell you when to stop. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. No one to share the credit, no one to share the blame.

Let's just get rid of all the rules and go for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. If you get killed, you get killed! Big Grin

All kidding aside, go see a high school wrestling match in your town this winter. You can usually sit close enough to smell the sweat and will get wrapped up in each match. Nobody in high school sports works as hard as wrestlers and they are worth seeing.

Heck, you can even stay late and catch a good basketball game while you're on campus Wink
