I'm confused at the point of this post. If it was aimed at pissing off rugby fans I will delete this thread. I don't have much patience for trolls today.
It takes a man to play a mans sport. and basketball is not a mans sport. It is for men who did not have enough skill to play soccor but still had the capacity to cry and call for fouls. Rugby takes a real man, a kind of a guy who doesnt need equipment when getting hit by a 230 pound prop and not crying to the ref that he touched his hand when he was trying to pass the ball. A foul in basketball is when thier is little contact when someone is rushing the zone. in rugby a penalty is when someone is gouging out someones eye. Rugby players are also more well rounded athletes. A basketball player will be able to beat me at basketball, but if they played one of us at any other sport we could kick thier tall, skinny asses. You wont see Dikembe Mutombo beating some one in 100 metre sprint or an arm wrestling match. You wouldnt see shaq be able to take on Jonah Lomu in a fist fight.
Well I think that basketball is filled with players that have an over-inflated self image. But then I don't really watch rugby either. So my answer is hockey
Voocat: Ice hockey in the middle of the desert? Does Arizona have a team? Have to say rubgy and ice hockey are probably the most violent pro team sports i've seen. Don't recall ever seeing a live game in each where a player didn't get bloodied up. In NZ the womens rugby get down and dirty too, its good fun to watch a good catfight Do they have women's ice hockey in the states/canada? lol, i don't know any pro boxers who would mess with him. He's really a nice guy i hear, too bad he can't play anymore because of his kidney probs :?
Yeah, Phoenix does have a hockey team. But my team is the Colorado Avalanche. Yes, there is womens hockey here in the states. In fact, we were the first team to win the gold medal for womens hockey in the Olympics.
