Poll coming. Which is most violent and why?

Aussie Rules footy.

I didn't include any more sports because I don't have enough time to put them all there. No complaining if you were.

Phbt, ICE HOCKEY!

Aussie Rules footy.

Seconded. Hands down.


Go Crows!

I'll second and third that

Violent sport? You've seen nothing, have you heard of "Vale tudo"? translated means "everything's allowed". It puts shame on that prowrestling guys.
Check it out.

Seconded. Hands down.

I dunno, best sport yes, lots of physical contact too, but most violent? I think Ice Hockey takes that cake.

Hurling (http://www.gaa.ie/page/hurling.html)

Guess I'll just have to choose Rugby...

Clearly a sport like kick boxing is going to be more violent than say.. football. How are sports where your goal is to beat the other person up even being considered against sports where violence is an occasional biproduct??

A certain rule that could be applied to any game, this rule was used by My Cousin and I when we were younger simply named "Tackle Anything"
Simply, we would put the word Tackle in front of any game were playing.

yep, me too.
ben darwin in the rwc semi final in 2003 - he was stretchered off the field, never to play again

even in the school's comp, kids get air lifted to hospital way more frequently than they should be. the scrums collapse and they're crushed

edit: I think I just proved the case for it being more dangerous, rather than violent. oh well.

ouch.

my dad actually broke his neck playing rugby, way back in the day. product of a nasty ruck.

Varmint Hunting

the most violent sport in the world is either boxing (for obvious reasons) or murderball. the rules of murderball are: 1. do what the referee/NCO IC says. 2. no rape. 3. no tackles above the neck

Boxing. I can't even watch it. Much less the ultimate fighting where they really kick each others asses.

you know what, I didn't even think of netball
a 12 year old girl in my sister's team got slapped by the opposition a few weeks ago
that's pretty violent , ay!?

ouch.

My dad dislocated his shoudler playing scrum Half. I've only broken a couple of fingers sof ar-thank god!

Cracked the ball at the top of my leg and weakened the other so a 5 inch screw through each of 'em.

Boxing.

It should be banned.

Hurling (http://www.gaa.ie/page/hurling.html)

Seconded.

Despite having destroyed a knee playing American Football, cracked a vertebra in my neck playing rugby (collapsed scrummage) I have to agree with whoever it was that nominated Vale Tudo.

However most violent =/= toughest, most violent = stupidest.

Kick Boxing or Ultimate Fighting.
Stupid bastards.

lots of sports are really violent and not so much gore. but some games have more sportsmanship such as boxing. it is all fair and the boxers respect eachother, whereas in rugby they dont really

Hurling is a very fast and skilled sport, but I don't think it's violent.

Full contact caber tossing.

Infantry combat in an urban area or a forest.

Poll coming. Which is most violent and why?
Dog Brothers stickfighting matches


Throughout these DVDs the teaching is illustrated by real fights. These fights are not tournament "full contact stickfighting" pillow fights that you may have seen, but "Real Contact Stickfighting" as done by the recently surfaced underground group "the Dog Brothers". Under Real Contact rules, EVERYTHING short of deliberately putting your opponent in the hospital is allowed - any stick techniques, punching, kickboxing, elbowing, kneeing, headbutting, trapping, throwing, grappling, locking, and choking are all allowed against anywhere on the body. Seeing how the material taught in these DVDs is applied in real time will deeply accelerate your learning.

Boxing.

It should be banned.
No it shouldn't. The competitors are willing participants, and a good fight isn't crazy, pointless violence, but rather a display of athleticism, strategy, and courage found in few other sports.

If "everything's allowed", why is there a ref?

Dwarf tossing. downright viscious.

It would have to be either Lacrosse or Rugby, I play both, ive had more injuries in lacrosse though.

American Football because they break FUK'N BONES playing it.:eek:

rugby is definitely the most violent

most of the videos in that vale tudo thing were from UFC or other 'ultimate fighting' style shows. Not really "everything goes" now is it?

The translation of the Portuguese 'vale tudo' is literally 'all valid' which when converted to normal English phrasing become 'everything allowed'. How it differs from UFC etc. I don't have a clue.

So a vertebra is not a bone in your view then. Cause I broke one of mine playing Rugby. Or is it the case that people break bones in other sports as well.

I believe, but this is from memory so it is probably wrong, that the sport that results in the most broken bones per man hour is equestrianism!

Aussie Rules.

Shinty, but on that list Rugby.

I do the same thing, except I just call it street rules. There are no fouls when we play sports.
