That too much rugby is being played these days- not by me mind you


I’m watching a documentary on the Red Sox following them for a season on Netflix


They play 162 games a season - that is just ridiculous

Yes and my wife plays Pickleball every day of the year.

Compare apples to apples.

Baseball is not as physical demanding on the players as rugby is.

They rotate players during the games each season and no players take the physical pounding that is part of the game of rugby.

The salaries dished out to baseball players is insane and I would suggest that if any top pro rugby player was offered the same salaries they would perhaps make themselves available for a game or two per week.

Yeah true you can’t compare the physical impact - more my point is the ridiculous number of games played


That is simply overkill

Agree but it is all about money.

The world series is played aver a period and consists of a number of games and the dollars just keep rolling in.

They call it the World Series but it is only played with American teams participating???????


World Champs my ****?

That’s the American’s for you - they hash up these stupid sports and declare themselves world champs


Of the 4 I’d say baseball is the one that comes close to being likeable - American football, basketball and ice hockey are just shit
