What I find strange with Rugby,is why it is called football, it should be called run and throw the ball backwards ball. And the sight of adult men getting down on their hands and knees and sniffing each others arseholes is, well, very weird.

Because if they called it “kick them in the balls” then the name wouldn’t be sufficiently subtle.

Just one small point, there is nothing subtle about that Thugbe anyway.

Maybe because it started as football at Rugby school?

So they are all weird?
The general theory is that the word football arose because the game was played by people on foot, rather than on horseback.
The word football predates the codification of any form of the game by a long way, it has nothing to do with kicking the ball. Under the earliest rules of the Football Association in England for example, players were allowed to use their hands to catch the ball. The word football was already invented before they used it as part of their name.

But where does the “football” terminology come in? the basic activities is bum sniffing scrotal sack grabbing, grab the ball and run with it, not kick it, I think that wankball would be a more accutate title.
Not sure if the description of Rugby = Thugbe is correct. I played both rugby and cricket and was injured far more whilst playing cricket.

Thugby is about the people who play it. They stomp on your hands with their studded boots etc.
In cricket if you get hurt, it is your fault.

Model citizens.
I thought it was called Thugbe because a number of professionals who play it are exactly that thugs and if not for playing football would probably be violent dickheads in jail

It is a bit pointless but if you remember with mens sports especially football (in all its variations) the players got away with antisocial/criminal behaviour with the line “its boy being boys” its not accepted anywhere near as much today

apparently you can screw who you like when you are a golfing legend, you can shout and make abusive comments on the tennis court, you can screw a whole corporation in cycling and you can be Ben Cousins…. oh we are back to football…

I don’t think the sport itself excuses the behaviour, the people you mention in the others sports are tools as well.
Ben Cousins did commit criminal acts as well though, I personally think he was the Eagles drug supplier and thats why the police were after him
