(CNSNews.com) - President Joe Biden addressed the Irish Parliament today, where he informed them that he would rather have his children playing rugby than football.

Biden’s son, Hunter, was with him in the chamber of the Irish Parliament during the speech.

“I didn’t play rugby except when I was out of school—out of law school—and I didn’t play it very well,” Biden told the Irish Parliament. “We played in a rugby club.

“But I did play American football and a few other sports,” said Biden.

“But I realize: You know, you guys are all nuts,” he said.

“You know, but the interesting thing is: I would rather have my children playing rugby now for health reasons than I would have them playing football,” said Biden. “Fewer people get hurt playing rugby, and you have no equipment, you have 280-pound guys like we do, and you just don’t hit yourself in the head very often.”
