It's been Rugby's sleeping giant for almost 50 years: With the Rugby World Cup headed for the USA and the MLR Final this weekend, it felt high time to dig in and ask the question: Can rugby ever, truly, expand in the United States of America?

I have the same feeling on this issue regarding Mayor Valérie Plante.
They both care more about symbolism than about meaningful change.

I would add 2 other sports, badminton and judo.
