There is an old Brittish saying of an unknown origin which says: "Football (soccer) is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen." We know that Rugby is the "Gentleman's Game". But the problem is, there are few in the contemporary world that can clearly define what a gentleman is, or how a gentleman is supposed to act. I stumbled across this today and thought it was worth sharing.
