Croquet now that's a mans game rough tuff guys hitting wooden balls with a hammer on green grass lawns

The oldest piece of paper to bear the word "croquet" with a description of the modern game is the set of rules registered by Isaac Spratt in November 1856 with the Stationers' Company in London. This record is now in the English Public Records Office. In 1868 the first croquet all-comers' meeting was held at Moreton-in the-Marsh, Gloucestershire and in the same year the All England Croquet Club was formed at Wimbledon, London. In the book Queen of Games: The History of Croquet[1] author Nicky Smith presents two theories of the origin of the game that took England by storm in the 1860s

I agree with the basketball. I could care less but when your talking about our National Pastime then we have a problem. Here's one that would make you pee your pants Dano-



Imagine that coming at you.


I always liked the brawls too-





And as far as hockey goes pads or no pads it gets brutal-




And as for it being a womans game well you got me there-




What a game!!!!

To all you foreigners who think soccer is tough. Read this and you'll know why REAL football is a man's sport: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...a=X&ei=cLYaTIiNJIL6lweDmbDRCg&ved=0CC8Q9QEwAw

Oh, I played REAL football in high school. I suffered many, many injuries during my years. I suffered a major left shoulder injury that I will never know what the hell happened (it still pops and gives me agonizing pain when I bend it wrong). I came flying down the field like a bat out of hell and literally exploded myself through the air and splattered the opponent. Oh, I don't remember this, mainly because I was determined, but my parents, who were standing on the sidelines, heard me growling while running like a maniac down the field. If I wasn't wearing shoulder pads, my left arm would have probably snapped off. I was known to hit very hard and put many of my opponents on their backs, literally. If you don't believe me, just ask the players who I destroyed during every game.

Not that this has anything to do with my original questions but as it seems impossible for (some) Americans to defend without changing the subject entirely to other sports,hot and ugly Royals and the obligatory references to 1776 (old old old old news anyone? yawn.)....i'll answer it.
You quote some serious spinal injury to your "REAL" football player.Did this player jump up and see the game through to the end or was he rushed to hospital?
As so many people like to go back centuries,Then i'll go back only to 1956,when a goalkeeper,Bert Trautmann,broke his neck in a football cup final,and played on to the end of the game,making crucial saves and ensuring his team won the game!!
You can also watch some truly horrific injuries in "soccer" on youtube if you have a strong stomach.Actually while there, you can watch 3 players who suffer cardiac arrest and drop dead brought on by exersion! I advise anyone who thinks "soccer" is a "soft" game to do the same.

American football is a tough sport,i don't refute that,but it'd be a lot tougher without all the padding..Like Rugby and Aussie rules football is.

Edit: Who's picture made the whole thread go to wide..own up! :P
