The reason our football players use padding and helmets goes back to Teddy Roosevelt's presidency.  Dozens of players were killed in one season alone.

This is one of those arguments that's hard to settle, and certainly not by someone who's never played either, like myself.  I'm sure there are some rugby enthusiasts here who can come up with a counter.
