Prince Harry recently made a surprise appearance at the NFL Honors event, where he presented the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award to Cameron Heyward, a defensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers. During his speech, Harry couldn't resist poking fun at the American game and its similarities to rugby, which originated in England.
In a lighthearted manner, the Duke of Sussex remarked on how rugby was 'stolen' and transformed into American football. He humorously pointed out the differences, such as passing the ball forwards instead of backwards, wearing protective pads and helmets, and taking regular breaks every 15 seconds. He even jokingly suggested shortening the season to 18 weeks compared to rugby's 10-month season.
