I'll bet there isn't a guy playing rugby that wouldn't jump at a shot at an NFL contract
I'd take that bet, because IMHO, the majority of rugby union players play it for the love of the sport, not for the money. Whilst they are quite well paid in comparison to the likes of me, they are well down on the list of top sports earners, despite the fact that they are more likely to end the game covered in blood.
Luckily this thread has developed into a Rugby v American Football debate, and I know Jack Pooh about American Football, and care even less. If it was about Rugby v Rest of the World football, then I know a little bit more, but despise RotW football (the players of that sport make your cheerleaders look hard)
So if you are going to base your argument on which is the better sport on contracts, then bare in mind that contracts means money, and while sport needs money, money is killing sport.
I suggest leaving contracts out of it. Which leaves only opinion, and as my opinion is the only one that counts, Rugby Union is the best sport.Ergo, I win

BTW, it's Friday and I've been drinking  , but that does not nullify my opinion (i.e. FACT  )
