It will never take off. Id rather watch MLS divegrass and even boreball. Watching Shitattle get BTFO in penalties by Dallas was satisfying as well as seeing the Royals kek the Mets. Rugby is just a weird alternative to football
>>63459719
I'd rather it stick to our small clubs.

as if murrika needs another sport in which the blacks are pummeling the wytebois.
The international people will laugh, but this really isnt a bad idea.
The NFL on the brink of the cows coming home to roost on concussions, and there is a strong college rugby club league already working.
I mean say what you want, but depending on how the next 5 years go for the NFL this could be brilliant.

yeah bro
>relevant
Yeah as much as in association football.

Broadcasters will spend like 30 billions $ in the next years for the NFL. I would not be too worried for them.
Also, rugby have big concussion problems too. They're common (not as much as in NFL, sure), and much less seriously taken into account.
Because MLS surely made the US become a powerhouse in soccer amrite?

>The NFL on the brink of the cows coming home to roost on concussions
Rugby is just as dangerous on that end.
well i guess for the guys who dont make it to the NFL can try this and utilize their skill sets.

>realising that the term 'meme' is becoming so mainstream that a sports team named The Memes is not actually such a ridiculous idea in the near future

It wont
>>63473617
when you think about it, if you don't know the franchise's history, it's not really more stupid than the Memphis Grizzlies
