I suggest remaining American football to "rugby for pansies".
Or maybe "handegg".
On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.
Rugby players don't get hit like football players do. The lack of padding changes the game.
Most people who mock American football as ‘rugby for wusses’ (or similar) don’t even know how the game works, let alone what the legitimate differences are.
In fact handegg players are more likely to suffer serious injuries because of it AFAIK. Particularly brain damage.
"rugby for pansies" until you get CTE or some irreversible brain injury...
