Because of all the do-good conservatives in the US who want to pee all over everybody elses parade. The president can have a college girl (                  ) in the oval office, but they don't want us to have hustler magazine, drink beer, smoke weed, etc.

Rugby Rules explained. Early point scoring was limited to the kicking of conversions. Under the rugby rules at the time, these could only be taken after the ball had successfully been grounded over the opponents line, which were called touchdowns, but no points were awarded for this in the first versions of the Rules of Rugby. \n\nAll the 'Rugby Rules' entitled the attacking side to do was to attempt the conversion. The spectators, in their enthusiasm, would take up the shout ‘‘Try, Try'', meaning an attempt should be made at kicking the goal. From this term ‘‘Try for goal'' came the term we know today for points scored. \n\nThe rugby rules required a conversion process in itself that was more complicated then what we know today and must have been comical to watch. \n\nThe player who had made the touchdown had to kick the ball from that point to his kicker, who was charged by the opposing side. If the kicker could catch the ball before the opponents reached him then the kick was allowed and he was entitled to place the ball for the kick at goal. When he took the kick his own team also charged for if he was unsuccessful, they would try to gain another touchdown. \n\nWhether the try was converted or not the kick off took place from between the goal posts. \n\nIt was fourteen years later that the Rugby Rules were were changed in that in the event of no goals being scored, the side which scored most tries won. Obviously this caused dissatisfaction for within one year three tries were given equal status to one goal. In 1890 a further rule change was made to rugby in that a try now counted one point, and a goal three, and any other goal four points including a field goal, which was defined in the laws as ‘‘any ball kicked through" the goal posts after, for example, a dribbling rush, the only proviso being that nobody touched it. \n\nThe shape of the rugby field does not come from rugby rules. It was designed by accident, for when the game moved from the streets and school quadrangles to the playing field, the only markings were a line through the middle indicating the territory of each side and another which indicated the goal. When the rugby game started to attract spectators they would encroach onto the playing area so a line was drawn to keep them back. The rules said a ball did not become dead until it was grounded over this line. The first player to get the ball over the spectators line to touch it down was entitled to restart the game by putting the ball in. That is how the term the ‘‘touch line'' came into being. \n\nThe dead ball line was a much later introduction into the rugby rules and was only introduced into rugby during the 1887/88 season in the United Kingdom as a result of an incident that took place in a match at Newport in Wales. This game was played on an exceptionally windy day and a player chased the ball over the goal line for some 300 yards before he eventually caught up with it and touched it down, claiming his try. The outcome was the introduction of the dead ball line law. \n\nThe Laws of the Rugby Union game today comprise the following subject areas, rules and notes:\n1. Ground 2. Ball 3. Number of Players 4. Players' Dress 5. Toss, Time 6. Referee and Touch Judges 7. Mode of Play 8. Advantage 9. Ball or Player Touching Referee 10. Kick-off 11. Method of Scoring 12. Try and Touch-down 13. Kick at Goal after a Try 14. In-goal 15. Drop-out 16. Fair-catch (Mark) 17. Knock-on or Throw-forward 18. Tackle, lying with, on or near the ball 19.

Where to begin...Bobjosh did you see the hit on Trent Green?  Did you watch the replay, do you know what a concussion is and what it causes?  Don't give me that he's a crybaby or a wuss because he's still not back, I'm not a chiefs or Trent Green fan, the hit was brutal and obviously damaging, but it's a part of the game.  If he tried to come back sooner, he could die because of a scond concussion...wouldn't exactly be a brilliant move on his part.  You are correct in that rugby evolved from soccer and american football from rugby, I'll give you that much.  In regards to soccer injuries, most occur because soccer players, unlike rugby and football players don't know how to protect themselves and minimize contact.  Most football and rugby players learn this naturally because your body can get knocked around when least expected, so one has to be aware of how to take the least damaging hit or landing (something Green didn't do too well).  I respect soccer to an extent, but I've seen more dives in soccer games than I've ever seen in a football game (dives do happen in football games), and if a guy takes a dive in a rugby game, they shouldn't be playing.  Also...the NFL and NCAA D1 have the most extensive drug testing policy of any professional and collegiate sport, so lineman don't run 4.5 40s because they're juicing you moron.  In regards to complete conditioning Rugby is the most taxing hands down (I've played all 3 sports though not soccer extensively)  You are constantly on the move between a run and a sprint and have little time between halves.  Not to mention forwards are also constantly scrummaging, rucking and lifting in lineouts.  Football is explosions and power, the average play is 4 seconds.  Soccer you are running a lot, but not back and forth across the field, you play one side or the other, Rugby is back and forth depending on where the ball is going next.  As far as entertainment...I'm undecided Rugby is incredible to play but I can't decided if I enjoy watching it more than Football, both are on a similar level of excitement, whereas soccer is deadly dull for 89 minutes and 30 seconds of most matches.  It's not due to the defensive nature of the game, because I enjoy hockey, it's because soccer is just not exciting.  As far as raw talent in each sport, soccer can't compare to football, which can't compare to rugby.  A well refereed, well played rugby match is a thing of beauty, and one that requires immense talent in ballhandling, kicking, running, rucking, and everything else.  Football is extremely intensive at each position, which is why there are few utility players in football, it is much easier for a forward to play midfield and a midfielder to play defense than a lineman to play receiver or a linebacker to play quarterback.  The game of american football is far and away the most intricate and has the most diverse possibilities for every play...not so in rugby and especially not in soccer (yes I know there are plays in soccer, but how many does a typical team run...5? 10?  Let's look at 10 different formations with 15 plays each, and that's a small playbook.  Try and tell me football players are dumb, they may not know a pronoun from a presbeteryian, but they know what to do on a trips left ripper max 475.  In conclusion soccer is a sport which has bred two of the best sports on Earth, and that's about the only thing its good for...unless you're trying to get over that sleeping pill addiction...

A mon avis ce n'est pas possible contrairement au rugby.\nAu rugby l'action est arrêtée. Donc il faut choisir entre essai et renvoi aux 22m.\nAu foot l'action n'est pas obligatoirement stoppée après une action. Il y aurait beaucoup trop de temps morts, de jeu haché et de palabres. Que les joueurs et les arbitres respectent en premier les lois du jeu.\nIl y a la solution de deux arbitres supplémentaires derrière les buts qui ne seraient concernés que par ce qui se passe dans la surface de réparation, çà occuperait tous les arbitres assistants pendant la coupe du monde.\nRemarquez que pour les vieux français qui nous font pitié, il y aurait plus de temps de récupération.

Depends on where you live, but most big cities have a soccer pub somewhere.  I've been to Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, as well as home (Minneapolis) and they all have at least one soccer pub.

Rugby isnt necessarily a "snobby" game and is played by many island nations such as Tonga, Samoa and Fiji. It is commonly played in UK,france,NZ,aus and south africa. The major difference in rules is in league, you team is allowed 5 runs with the ball, each run ending with the opposition player bringing them to ground (tackle). AT the completion of these tackles it is common to kick the ball in an offensive manner. in Rugby union you must release the ball when tackled, forming a ruck where players compete for possession. mauls are also common, where players bind onto each other  whilst in possession of the ball, this in open play, then attempt to push the ball and their team down the field trying to gain territory. League try (the placing of the ball in an opponents end zone) is worth 4 points where union is worth 5. league is more front on and straightforward running and can be quite predictable at times, where union is much more varied with various other ways to gain ground, and to gain possesion rather than simpyl running it. league is more physical and rougher where as union involves a greater range of skills, rather than mere brute strength.

Yes.  A few years ago they adopted a beer-free policy in all bleacher sections - left and right.  \n\nI don't know for sure, but an educated guess at the reason is it can be a bit rowdy there at times.

Bookings are carried from game to game now, and each player that gets two bookings will be suspended for next game. That's subject to Graham Poll refereeing a game, where you're allowed 63 yellow cards before he then gives you a final warning, a nipple cripple, then a chinese burn before spraying water in your eye.\nIf you commit another foul after this, he then gives you a red card.....

If you hate football as much as I do then there is nothing I hate more. Well maybe with the exception of violence or American football. Oh actually, there are cricket and golf which are more boring but they're not forced on people. I wanted to take my mum out for a drink cos she helped me clean the house but everywhere has one of those big screen things. It wasn't even England playing! I don't know when it ends but it not soon enough. I don't mind other people watching it in their own hime but I don't see why I should sacrifice my own enjoyment for people spending more time in what should be a quiet rural pub.\nOh and you up there saying "actually it's soccer" I don't even like the thing but I'm having to explain that it is football in it's most primative form. Soccer means association football, then you have rugby football, then you have rugby football with padding(commonly known as American football)\nAnd whoever said "most" people like it, how can you be sure of that? I'd be very surprised if more people want all this waste of space.
