Weeeeeel, apparently American football is rugby for weaklings. I think it's teeth guard (if that's the correct term for it) and jock strap as protection, and the ears taped in close to the head to avoid them getting ripped off.
in auzzie we will break your neck from a tackle, crack your ribs or even kill you from a knee to the back of the head if we fuck up a tackle. and the most common tackle called "marking" is the most common cause of back, neck and leg injuries. like seriously, a full grown man kneeing you in the back or landing on your shoulders with his knees and wrapping his legs around your neck at high speed all just to catch a ball.
Yeah it can get pretty intense without any strict rules. Me and some old mates used to play but it mostly led to them bitching on each other. Me? I always go for the legs without even thinking about it.
