Rugby is violent, no protection except for gum shields. |

I personally only follow football (soccer - US) as a sport. I would follow boxing, UFC, and the cagefights (a sort of British equivelant to UFC) but find that fighters are too closely protected from harm. I have an enormous collection of Football Hooligan DVD's and my PC is clogged up with street fight vids. |

In my opinion, rugby isn't violent enough. There's no real direct competition between two people, which is something what I think sports should involve. |

I think its violent, if you get the ball run like hell or a whole team of massive men jump on you, and they have studs on their shoes which really hurt if your kicked in the face. |

i think violent sports are an excellent way for the more aggressive human beings to let off some steam while learning some measure of discipline and control. |

I voted no because I don't enjoy seeing idiots sustain career-ending injuries right in front of my eyes. I know it's their choice and they understand the risk they are taking, but I'm just not into watching it. |

I think assualt should always be prosecuted. |

Those things happened with the participants having full knowledge that these were the risks that they were getting into. They wanted to participate in that activity - it's a fully natural thing for some people to want to do. They should have the power to make that decision themselves, it's their body for them to put at risk if they want to - it's not for the government to decide on. |

Not to speak for every member of our population, it seems like their is some innate sense in most of us (more males) that crave some violence and enjoy watching it. Such as car crashes in Nascar, a hard hit in football, a knock out in boxing, etc. We must be fighting evolution. |

I just found this quote from "Waking Life" that is sort of relevant to the whole, man enjoying violence thing: |

I guess I'm surprised at the complete lack of understanding about contact sports that I'm seeing, but I suppose I shouldn't be. |
