Could NFL players hold their own in a game of Rugby?

Surely if gridiron players were soo superior then the US would have a team of cats offs that play and dominate at the international level. But they dont.

If you cant identify in your close minded brain that other sports outside of the nfl and the US have equally athletic proffesionals too then you are simply a fool.

Are you telling me that you think Rugby is pulling the same caliber of athletes as the NFL?

I agree that they're different sports and walking from one to another is unlikely because they're nuanced. That shit is already expected to be known at a pro level. Even NFL players would have to learn to play the game efficiently regardless of their natural ability.

Having said that... America has 15 times more people than Australia. As a matter of fact America has twice as many black people (who are, be honest, the best athletes) as Australia has total people in their country. Also, our country puts an almost ridiculous emphasis on athletics starting at a very young age.

There is a dramatic difference in terms of athletic ability to anyone being objective.
