Now Bryn, do you HONESTLY think that the top riders in the worlds such as the aforementioned Casey Stoner DON'T ride on the STREET??? And that those fellas couldn't out-ride ANYBODY, ANYWHERE???



I've sobered up now, but I honestly do think that a lot of the top class riders wont be ALLOWED to ride on the street by their sponsors (at least during the racing season), as it'll be a lot of their money smeared down to street by some half blind texting grandma. As for out-riding the likes of me and you, of course they could, but that's a different debate.
Can't remember who it was, but there was a world champion a few years back who made the papers because he was having lessons to get a bike licence

BUT, whereas in AMERICAN Football there are a NUMBER of different plays that can be called upon to advance the football into the defense's territory, such as the aerial attack(known as the forward pass), and/or many many MANY different types of running plays in the Ground Attack. And thus making AMERICAN football not ONLY a game of hard hits and tackles but ALSO a THINKING MAN'S game TOO!!!



Forward passes and tackling off-the-ball are both fouls in Rugby, so you could say that players have to think more because of these rules, which nicely nullify's your argument there, I think
