or… why rugby League is Better Than (American) Football

Rugby League is my favorite sport, and one reason I regret ever having left my country in the first place. It is more authentic than soccer and more dynamic than Football (speaking american now lol). American Football is alright, but it is too static in my eyes. Now, Rugby  League, this is a sport for real men.

In the following video (sorry, its without sound) one thing you have to know, but dont see. The chap kicking the ball at the beginning is obviously “taken out” after the ball was kicked. This means he was illegally tackled when he wasn’t in possession,  possibly it was a high tackle (i.e. above the shoulders), maybe with the opponents elbow.
