Biden Disparages American Football in Address to Irish Parliament

CNSNews.com) - President Joe Biden addressed the Irish Parliament today, where he informed them that he would rather have his children playing rugby than football.

Biden’s son, Hunter, was with him in the chamber of the Irish Parliament during the speech.

“I didn’t play rugby except when I was out of school—out of law school—and I didn’t play it very well,” Biden told the Irish Parliament. “We played in a rugby club.

“But I did play American football and a few other sports,” said Biden.

“But I realize: You know, you guys are all nuts,” he said.

“You know, but the interesting thing is: I would rather have my children playing rugby now for health reasons than I would have them playing football,” said Biden. “Fewer people get hurt playing rugby, and you have no equipment, you have 280-pound guys like we do, and you just don’t hit each other in the head very often.”

Biden can get even get his facts right about something that isn't political:

Does rugby have more injuries than football? A study found that rugby had more injuries than football, with 4.6 catastrophic injuries for every 100,000 players. Football had 75 percent fewer incidents globally, at 1.0 catastrophically injuring players per 100,000 participants.

Bet they were wondering if Biden was a momma’s boy as a child.

He’s probably making it all up anyway.

I wonder if the Irish understand that.

This the same douchebag who claimed to be an All-American ‘flankerback’.

“”“I didn’t play rugby except when I was out of school—out of law school””

I suppose he was too busy coaching the Dallas Cowboys.

Irish are very good BS artists themselves, and they can generally tell one when they hear one. But they’ll be polite and pretend to believe the imbecile.

Do they take a knee and hate cops as a matter of policy in EU rugby leagues?

Maybe he should remind them again how his grandfather single-handedly won WWII.

Didn’t Biden play football with his pals Corn Pop, Cap’n Crunch, and Trix?

… It was during World War II I met them all
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and De Gaulle
Then one day I nearly fainted, I was having my house painted
There was Hitler hanging paper in the hall

Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee
There is no one who can tell a lie like me
You can search until you tire, you won’t find a bigger liar
I’ve been lying since the dawn of history…

I didn’t hear the speech, but I’m hoping to hear of him repeating his line of ‘I may be Irish but I’m not stupid!” Please God let him say it!

Yes, but Tony the Tiger had to be defanged and declawed before he saw action. I’m not joking.

Can't disagree 100% with :disparaging” American football as I have refused to watch an NFL game since 2014.

They're mostly all just a bunch of race hustling primadonna’s and have been since the late 80’s.
