False
Youth in america aren't playing rugby from age 6 and it's not readily accessible to play, either at a recreational level, high school, or in college outside of certain niche places.

False, rugby requires way more skill than football, not just physicality. You can't play another sport and suddenly become an elite rugby player. Kids in New Zealand and South Africa are working on their ball skills from a young age daily.
Until elite athletes focus almost exclusively on rugby, it won't happen. Won't be anytime soon.
Change your title or this will get anchored, it's a good topic.

you think with the current movement against young kids playing football will pave the way for them to play essentially the same sport with less protective equipment??
I'm not saying that soccer isn't a contact sport and I am certainly not calling it a wimpy sport, but it's a helluva safer option and that seems to the be the current mood

If Vagina parents are keeping their kids from playing football, why would they let them play rugby

Rugby stats in Canada indicate concussion syndrome in young boys/men.
Rugby is going to wither worse than football in the USA.
soccer will never catch up. ever.
do you think China will bypass USA in basketball, even with a huge gene pool?

There are people who research head injuries in sports that believe soccer to be just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than football when it comes to head injuries despite the concussion rate being lower. These pros are using their heads without protective equipment to bounce a soccer ball off it and those balls are coming at them at a high speed. Just some food for thought.
