Rugby vs American Football | Three Pints Pod

Publish Date: 15/07/2021
Fact checked by: James Leeland

In episode 2 of the Three Pints Podcast, the boys tackle the age-old question - is American football better than English rugby?Ā

As always, there are some controversial opinions thrown in, with pros and cons put forward for both sports - as well as case for thinking they’re both just a bit naff and boring.

Is American football far more tactically superior than Rugby?Ā 

A Couple of the guys on our panel would agree - with a view that rugby is essentially just 16 blokes running at each other with a ball stuck somewhere in the middle of it all!

Does the price of a beer influence how good a sport is?

If there’s one area where the guys agree that rugby trumps the NFL, it’s when it comes to beer prices. While few rugby fans the length and breadth of the UK are being asked to part with more than four or five quid for a pint of ale, NFL fans find themselves paying upwards of $13!

In the wise word of Ashley, ā€œI’d need to be absolutely hammered to watch a full game of American footballā€. With that in mind, you’d find yourself seriously out of pocket spending $13 on a beer over the four and a half hours it takes for an American football game to run from beginning to end.

Test your NFL knowledge with the pub quiz

As well as enjoying some not-so-serious in-depth discussion and keg-loads of witty banter, you can also test your knowledge against our hosts with the weekly pub quiz. On top of that, there are also the other regular features, including Desert Island Crisps, and Big Talk.

The NFL is coming back to London!

In other, more serious news (well, sort of), the NFL schedule was announced last month, with games returning to London once more. There will be a new venue this time around though, as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium replaces Wembley as the home of the NFL right here in the UK!
