[QUOTE="Canucks, post: 510868, member: 43938"] it's actually just a variation of rugby. It is quite popular at the amateur level around the world. It is only fully professional in Canada, USA. Semi pro in UK, Korea, Germany, Japan and Mexico. Everything else is amateur level. It would actually be closest to reflecting the true spirit of the olympics. Just Ban NFL/CFL players and give the other teams full access to there players and it would be a good competition. Sure the USA might win but there the best, doesn't mean everyone else can't enjoy the game for their country. Everyone though they would win the World Baseball Classic but they didn't, even Canada owned them once. What i don't get about the Namibia thing is that there are roughly 60 or so active national teams in rugby and Namibia makes the world cup every time. Ya they get trashed but that's still a credit to them. What sports do they invent and say they are number one at aside from football? Baseball and basketball are global. If anything, both sports have more global parity than rugby. Not every sport is like football where the whole world but North America devote all their resources to it. [/QUOTE]
