Nope, not upset here or anything, don't worry about it dude. I haven't had much exposure to what the rest of the world calls football and rugby. I guess what I know has been engrained in me in the culture I live in. I never thought of it as a pussy sport with only the little protection they wear down by their ankle! But hitting with gear they wear in american football can hurt too. My favorite sport is hockey though.
I gotta say those are some crazy ass motherfuckers in that rugby scene, talk about BLOOD and GUTS! I was gonna say you guys overthere probably have wondered WTF why we Americans call the game football, when the ball is carried or passed by hand most of the time in a game and what the rest of the world calls football, we call soccer (You know we wacky Americans like to be different) ; ) but I stopped typing and wondered about something, and I went and checked the all words page here on HFW and yes the question had already been posed to Marina so maybe it's a good excuse to post that lesson here.
