Hmmm! hence the adage
Football is a game of gentlemen played by thugs but Rugby is game of thugs played by gentlemen. (NB cannot recall when I first heard or read this?)

There are lots of variations on this - see https://saintsandheathens.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/rugby-hooligans-gentlemen/
The one I remember relates to rugby, "Union is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen, League is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans"
