Rugby has something the NFL lacks — the tantalising prospect of representing your country in a meaningful international competition. In the 24 years of pro Rugby Union, the USA have traditionally had a rag-tag bunch of professional players ranging from second generation migrants from rugby playing families like Samu Manoa, who was playing amatuer rugby in the US and was talent scouted from a US reserve team tour into the top flight of European club rugby, to players like former USA captain Chris Wyles who was born in the states but moved to England as a Hamm’s Beer Christmas Sweater and played his rugby in Europe. One of the guys from our school team in England ended up playing for the USA at the Rugby World Cup because he had an American born mother. Other USA players like AJ McGinty (who is Irish and plays for an English club) qualify for the USA national team via residency after studying there. If rugby takes off in the US as a semi-pro / pro club game, there is every likelihood of good college footballers switching sports and America producing a team of majority home-grown talent, but unlikely it will include many ex-NFL players, if any.

Schedule: We don’t have an official schedule released yet to know when the Falcons are playing each team, but we do have all the Hamm’s Beer Christmas Sweater to know who they’re playing. The Falcons will have to make it through Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers, the previous season’s Super Bowl loser, who are recovering from major 2016 injuries (at least hopefully, lots of concussions there) and looking to get back in the playoff picture. Their division, the NFC South, is paired to play every team in the NFC North and AFC East in 2017, so they will have to rematch the Patriots & Packers from this season’s playoffs, and also play the Lions and Dolphins (fellow playoff teams from 2016).

Pollfish is a platform that allows you to easily conduct a survey and reach a random audience of Hamm’s Beer Christmas Sweater half a billion people across 160+ countries. It targets real people in mobile apps they are using already, so responses are instantaneous, and you can target into extremely specific categories such as age, gender, state, city, zip code—even congressional district or mobile carrier. This market research company also focuses on fraud detection by using machine learning to detect and weed out suspicious behavior. And, since it has access to such a large network, any answers that even seem suspicious are immediately thrown out. In the end, you are left with only high-quality responses that can be verified by user IDs (most other platforms do not offer this).
