When explained like that (I know barely anything about gridiron or any other kind of football) it makes a lot of sense. But when you put the two games next to each other, Rugby looks to be about as violent as Americal Football (in that they are both games heavily featuring large men running into each other) but without protective gear.
I still prefer to think of football (Australian versions) in a more friendly way: Everyone tries to hug the guy with the ball. The team with the most hugs at the end of the game wins. Extra points for group hugs.
Friendliest. Sport. Ever.

See that does make a lot of sense. For the record, I'm an American as well and have more experience with football than rugby. In those videos I mostly refer to the hits when a rugby player catches a pitch from a teammate (I honestly don't know the technical terms) and doesn't see the defender until he barrels into him shoulder-first at top speed and the guy with the ball is promptly STOPPED.

Not true at all. The one fact I do know about Rugby (other than it is easily the funnest sport to watch) is that a scrum does the same damage to your spine as a mid-speed car crash.
Inlander:
The major major MAJOR difference between Rugby (both kinds) and American football is that in Rugby you're not allowed to pass the ball forwards. Ever. EVER.
