    I wonder what Rugby players think every time they see a Soccer player crying in pain from being grazed by another player.

        @neiltyson they'd probably first wonder what 'soccer' is, then consider why American Football players need so much padding

        .@neiltyson You're smarter than that. Neymar broke his back last week, literally. Mascherano was just concussed and is playing 5 min later.
