AF is considered to be the world's most dangerous sport if you look at number of injuries weighted by severity. If you ask me, that's precisely why it's a "terrible sport". Insinuating it's lacking in some degree of toxic masculinity simply sounds ignorant.

Sorry for the joke, this is my actual belief. The more "padded" someone is the more careless they will be because they think they are safe.

I certainly know rugby has its dangers, but when you play by the rules it is leaps and bounds safer than AF
