FdL's Fuzzbox-Fueled Random Banter #88

[Calamity]

The padding is there because these guys are huge and running into each other at ridiculous speeds. In rugby (I think, I know nothing about rugby) they hit each other pretty hard, but they also are not in nearly the kind of shape/size as NFL players.

edit::
No idea why it's called football, prolly because it has roots in real football.

Also, Ikkotsen, that's a really good description.

Actually the reason they don't look as big/strong as NFL players is probably due to the fact that they don't wear padding.

Inccidentally, where did the word soccer come from, that has always puzzled me,then again I'm puzzled by the name for Rugby and Cricket too.
