Hah, You already have rugby in the US. Your team even played quite
well in the World Championships. OK they didn't get very far, but
they were entertaining to watch.
What is it with the USA only acknowledging "World Championships" in
which they are the only country playing? World Series Baseball?
Superbowl? Basketball. Gimme a break. Your personal disdain for most
of those sports is noted as mitigating circumstances.
