    How many get asked if they "play football"

    This happens to me seemingly on a daily basis. What about you guys?

    i get it all the time... I used to get it like 5x a day @ Georgia Southern when I went there beause it was a big football school. I'm gonna try out for the NFL in like 5 years when I'm out of the Air Force and like 320lbs of solid muscle and I'll have plenty of time to make my 40 even better.

    Rugby, not Football.

    "So, like, did you play football in school?" is the straight man's come-on line.

    They're really not gay, but they just HAVE to say something about how friggin' BIG and POWERFUL you are. Their eyes follow you all over the gym; they ask you a question about lifting and they're staring at your pecs (I'm up here, big fella.); When they can't stand it any more they just HAVE to say something about your size, and sports is pretty innocuous. I mean, they can't lead into it with: "Jeeze, you've got some big thighs and pecs, don't ya!"

    I tell them I play Rugby, which is like American Football, only without all the sissy padding and helmets and such. I ask them if they're interested in joining the team. No takers thus far.

    Well, then the feeling would me MORE than mutual.

    Big English blokes, esp. with Rugby Prop-forward builds, are the best.

    I know friends who've played both football and rugby and they said by far football was tougher. Because play after play you have to run full force into the opposing player , and that pads do not help much, while in rugby it's more of a close quaters wrestle shots. Never played so I don't know....But in football there are much bigger and faster athletes hitting opposed to rugby in a whole.


    I'm rarely asked if I play football anymore that I've dropped bodyfat..
    When I was 18 6'4'' 245lbs I was asked if I play football....Now nobody asks....LOL I had one chinese lady in a chinese food place asked me if I played basketball............bitch...LOL

    I was asked if I played hockey or baseball, but never footbal. Don't know why. Maybe because football is not as big in Canada?

    Or maybe it's because I'm a fatty?

    Don't you remember that movie where that hobbit dude (the guy who played Sam in LoTR) wanted to play for Notre Dame? I think the movie was even called Rudy. It wasn't very good...
