Not remotely what I said. However, since this is your interpretation of it, I have to wonder what this says about you and the form of logic you are using...
I don't (yet) think you are an insane troll, but that bit of "logic" was certainly reminiscient of it...
Please prove me wrong. Demonstrate, showing all the steps in the chain of logic you used, how you got from my assertation that Rugby is a real
man's game when compared to American Football to your statement as above. How does protective padding (or lack thereof) relate to marathons and sprinters? Do marathoners need safety helmets and anti-bruise shirt inserts? How do injury rates and types compare on a per-hour-played average between Rugby and American Football (and in an AF match, how much of the length is actual play?)
And as an aside, why is there no American Football in the Assiti Shards universe?
Final note, nice use of the classic debaters trick. But you ain't as good as Simeon of the SSS-900-C. And when he used that trick, he was called on it. Still, nice try.
