Meh "proper" football is nothing compared to rugby...

But American football is great in its own respect, Its not fair to compare completely different sports.

For those of you who say football (American) isn't as brutal as rugby, what about Joe Theisman (I believe it was) who got up with a compound fracture in his leg... and the bone broke the skin?

Or this guy in college, I saw on TV. He was a halfback, started running, got tackled, and when he got up, his knee pointed straight, and his toes pointed 90 degrees left.

Your right it was Theisman who had is leg destoyed. The guy's helmet it him between his knee and ankle on the bone and snapped it into to! Also don't forget about the Defensive Tackle for the Detroit Lions about 10 years ago who was paralized from the neck down.
