	Rugby Bahamas
		Football hooliganism isn’t a new thing: during a match in Derby in 1846, two squads of soldiers had to be called in to deal with a disorderly crowd.
		The majority of people attending football matches are, of course, well-behaved; it’s the actions of a few – and it’s probably a misnomer to call them football supporters - that have led to the perceived view of football fans as aggressive, narrow-minded hooligans.
		During football matches, no alcohol can be consumed in the stadium but during rugby games, spectators are allowed – and are happy to miss bits of the action - to visit the bar to top up their pints to take back to their seats.

	Philippine Rugby Football Union - History of Rugby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Many believe that rugby was born in 1823 when William Webb Ellis "with fine disregard for the rules of football (soccer) as played in his time, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus originating the distinctive feature of the Rugby game".
		The game of football as played at Rugby School (Rugby, England) between 1750 and 1823 permitted handling of the ball, but no-one was allowed to run with it in their hands towards the oppositions goal.
		After the defeat of France in 1940, the French Rugby Union authorities worked with the German collaborating Vichy regime to re-establish the dominance of their sport; Rugby League was banned and many players and officials of the sport were punished.
