Why don't Americans like Rugby?
It's far more exciting than waiting every 10 seconds for the team to take a break

Not a fan of American football but watching poms play rugby is a fucking chore most of the time.
Watching Australia play is somehow even worse.

It has grown in popularity over the years and at one point, still may be, the fastest growing sport.

We're stuck on our sports. It took forever for soccer to start to get popular over here.
Rugby would be better than football. Football is turning into a pansy sport with its stupid rules and barely any contact.

Because the Americans are to fragile to play rugby they have to wear armor they're a bunch of crybabies. The padding instills a feeling of security, which leads to harder hits, which lead to worse injuries. Gridiron football is way more hardcore than rugby. |

We're kind of overloaded with sports to follow here - baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, and golf all have significant followings. Rugby has enough resemblance to football and to a lesser extent soccer that those two sports probably draw a lot of the athletes that might otherwise play rugby.

The padding instills a feeling of security, which leads to harder hits, which lead to worse injuries. Very much this, and it's why some people say "if you want to prevent concussions, take the helmet off." Athletes are more likely to use their heads as a weapon and play more recklessly wearing helmets. |

I will get killed for saying this by all the existing rugger fans. You do not want the USA to take a real interest in rugby or you will be playing for seconds in short order. (I'm a Canadian btw)

( I'm a Canadian btw) If that's the case...shouldn't there be an apology in there somewhere?  But seriously...I think of lot of NZ rugby fans would welcome it. Even if we ended up losing more often than we do now. Which really isn't very often. Sport is only fun if it's exciting when you win. |

Because we Americans are fools & should be eaten  We're too busy with dumb-ass sports like Baseball & NASCAR  I don't know if that's necessarily true, but I will agree that other than basketball, the mainstream American sports induce a great deal of yawning in me. |

Very much this, and it's why some people say "if you want to prevent concussions, take the helmet off." Athletes are more likely to use their heads as a weapon and play more recklessly wearing helmets. I can't remember exactly, but I believe the padding and gear was actually added due to the amount of fatalities within the sport back in the early 1900's. |

Heaps of ABs fans find watching the islanders play - anyone, really- more enjoyable than watching the ABs. Too much tension and worried about possibly losing. Which of course they almost never do. |
