I actually prefer watching Aussie rules football or rugby. Don't really understand all the rules but it's as hard or harder hitting and none of the padding the US boys wear. No one leaves those games without some blood showing. They bandage up and get right back in.

I was introduced to rugby when one of my sons played with an intramural club when he was in college. Rugby is a MAN'S game and you better go on the field with the acceptance that you are going to get the sh$t beat out of you a time or two. But what was even more interesting was watching the women's rugby match. DUDE! NOW THAT'S A SPORT WORTH WATCHING. and it's every bit as violent as the men's. It was even good when the women's team that won took off their tops and ran around the field.
