Maybe Europeans should spend more time trying to get Americans into Rugby instead of trying to convert them over to Eurofootball. Maybe. It seems to be a national characteristic to want to smash stuff. Rugby might give yanks another outlet to scratch the "smashing" itch. A more cerebral outlet than they're used to, of course. Maybe limit it to clever Americans.

He was. It's sacrilege for a kiwi I know but I always loved watching the Island teams a lot more than the All Blacks especially against each other. Nah, not sacrilege mate. 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. Can't beat watching Tonga vs Samoa IMO. The fights, the hits. And that's just on the field, shit gets just as heated in the stands lmao.

That's cool too, but I think back to the late amateur/early professional era and Samoa playing Wales or Scotland and they just had no idea what was going on. Just a blue wave of brown boys who should've been too big to move that quick...

Because it's an acquired taste and there's a lot of other things to keep busy with. It's like asking "Why don't Americans like kippers?"
I don't know, but I'm not going to like kippers if I don't eat them often. And I'm hardly going to have a chance to do that without swapping out my favorite meals for a smoked herring. Pass. I'm not always in the mood for sports, I really only watch football, baseball and basketball, I can't keep up with anything else. I'm sure not dropping any of those three for rugby which I know hardly anything about and has pretty much no local connection with where I live.
And really, that's the same thing with why Europeans aren't so keen on American football. There's other sports to watch instead and most of them are much more relevant than the foreign game with foreign teams who play by foreign rules.

Maybe Europeans should spend more time trying to get Americans into Rugby instead of trying to convert them over to Eurofootball. You mean, Football? Where you kick a ball with your foot as the title suggests? Unlike most other forms of football, hence why Aussie Rules, or American have to be added, coz it's actually not football at all? Hell Aussie rules football is closer to Football than American Football. As a side note, if you like a mix of everything, try watching Gaelic Football, that's a real hoot xD But I digress, Rugby is Rugby, football is football, and while it seems like a mix of those is American Football, it's not really. Rugby you have to throw behind the line of play to advance, in AF throwing forwards, as far forwards the better, obv.

I guess the US market is just over-saturated with their own sports. Even football isn't that popular in the US, let alone rugby, which is only really big in a relatively small number of countries.
