RE: Rugby World Cup as told by a person who doesn't like the sport
You don't love rugby? That's my second love after soccer. I live for it and luckily, our country tries to give me minimal micro heart attacks. All blacks can be good players at times. They are actually. SA is a good team and your expectations can be met but then again in sports you can never be too sure!
it isn't my intention to say anyone is wrong for enjoying a sport, i just think we are all products of our individual environments. I would say that I likely didn't even know what rugby was (or that it was even a sport) until i was a teenager... it just isn't something that was / is talked about in USA at all but the reverse is also true. When i sit with people that are excited about the world cup i enjoy it because my pals are really excited about it... and that is enough for me.
They return the favor by watching NFL with me and are just as unimpressed by that sport as I am by rugby. It's just different... not better, not worse.
True because I in return know nothing about NFL! It's all about traditions as sports has much to do with traditions 🤷♀️
