this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the other one.

I suggest remaining American football to "rugby for pansies".

Or maybe "handegg".

On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.

Rugby players don't get hit like football players do. The lack of padding changes the game.
