I will always remember seeing "Shack" getting helped off the court after tearing the ligements in his thumb....
I totaly ripped my ring finger outta socket in the 1st rugby game of the season and played that game and the rest w/it taped. It would pop out all the time. After the season they had to rebuild it.
I did this for free...play w/it.
From my observation they seem pretty prissy to me. Oh they like to act all bad... pushing shoving, hitting coachs etc but I'd like to see'm play a serious contact sport over a season and see if they last.
My dislike is prime for the PRO guys...
On another note... I much rather watch womens basketball.
