In terms of physical contact, which is the roughest sport played on earth?

Response:

Determining the “roughest” sport can be subjective, but a few sports are often cited for their high levels of physical contact and rough play:

1. Rugby: Known for its intense physicality, rugby involves frequent tackles, scrums, and a high rate of injuries.
2. American Football: With its heavy contact and protective gear, American football sees high-impact collisions and a lot of physical strategies that can lead to rough play.
3. Ice Hockey: The combination of speed, skating, and body checking makes ice hockey one of the roughest team sports, with fights being a notable aspect of the game.
4. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA): While not a team sport, MMA involves intense physical confrontation, grappling, and striking that can lead to significant injuries.

Among these, many consider rugby to be the roughest due to its lack of protective gear and the nature of the tackles involved.

Well, well, well.
