Rugby vs American Football
Rugby vs American Football
General purpose: to persuade & gain the audiences interest
Specific purpose: to get the audience to want to learn more about rugby, and hopefully pass their interest onto their friends and family
Thesis: Rugby is everywhere; understanding just a little about the game would bring a common interest between you and the rest of the world
Attention: When will our nation (US) get its head out of their asses and realize we are focused on the wrong things for entertainment?
Credibility: Over 20 years experience in American football and 12 years experience in Rugby; I believe I have enough time in to be considered a reliable source
Preview: I want to share some comparisons with facts and personal experience
Main Body
A.) I’ll discuss where the two games derived
B.) I’ll talk about the differences between injuries, and which game you’re most likely to get injured
C.) Lastly, I’ll break down the game by giving you some statistics on how much actual game time action you observe on average during a single game
Benefits:
1.) Rugby is a year round sport
2.) The only equipment needed to play rugby are cleats and a mouth guard
3.) Rugby is played on every continent, and in almost every country
Solutions:
1.) Use the internet to watch videos and learn more about the rules
2.) Search for nearby teams and look on the schedule for a nearby game
3.) Rent a movie that contains rugby ( ie., Invictus, Forever Strong)
Conclusion
Action: Rugby will be part of the 2016 Summer Olympics. There is still enough time to learn enough about the game to be able to follow the newest sport in the Olympics (which the US will be a contender in)
Zinger: Don’t keep contributing to the ignorance of American sports fans, by not noticing one of the worlds’ largest sports and soon to be a dominating US
