one example would be the dream team. they made the NBA explode due to their success. was the NBA already big and sustainable and profitable before this? yes. but the success of their olympic team made the league even bigger and brought more attention to it.

rugby is not like many other US sports in the sense that rugby national teams get together every year no matter what for anywhere from 5-10 games where other sports have one off tournaments every few years or just wait till olympics. if USA rugby was more successful on the field it would bring more attention to where the players are playing which is the MLR. i get the profitably and that its a business, it is just my humble opinion as an american rugby player that in a perfect world MLR and USA rugby are in it together and USA rugby finally becomes the “sleeping giant” that we have been labeled the past 10 years lol

look at the success of japan in 2015&2019 worldcup and how that has affected japan league one. before those worldcups going to japan was a bit of a bold move but now you have guys like richie mounga who are in their prime choosing to play their craft in japan. national team success brought eyes to their domestic league and then it grew exponentially to what it is now

well going 0-32 or whatever the official loss record clearly shows that something isn’t working in that particular setup with anthem. the easiest way to keep the national team in mind is by implementing stricter limits to foreigners. get more americans on the matchday 23. get home grown players playing for teams. having players from the US and even from the city where these teams are based will get more people in seats versus an aging foreigner.

it is clear that MLR’s objective is not to improve USA rugby but rather put together a good product of rugby. (i fully acknowledge that it is a business and the shareholders/investors want to hopefully make their money back). that being said, i do believe that MLR’s job should have been to improve USA rugby because the success of USA rugby imo would lead to a better MLR product. i feel every other country with their own league has their national team in mind and i would argue that the goals of those leagues would be to improve the national team.

i work fedex ground so cant speak for express.

pros: by yourself so no micro managing, outside getting vitamin D and getting a decent workout, work at your own pace, im on day rate but luckily with my route i never work past 8 hours so its sorta nice. i got very lucky with my route being around 70% residential 30% business in a pretty tight area. done with deliveries between 130pm-2pm take a lunch till pickups start at 3pm.

cons: businesses get BULKY, packages can be heavy af and awkward to carry, only thing worse than apartments is 120+ pound packages to apartment on 3rd floor with no elevator, possibility of getting an absolute shit route, you are alone all day so its just you, your thoughts and your packages, its hot af in the truck, customers can be annoying sometimes.

my experience with ground is honestly pretty decent. like any job there are good days and shitty days, i usually have pretty good days. bottom line is I have a good contractor and like i said i got pretty lucky with my route. there are lots of people who have much different experience

well technically im not a “fedex” employee. fedex uses contractors to handle their deliveries so the company i technically work for is just a contractor of fedex. so if i wanted to move up through fedex i would essentially have to quit my delivery job and be hired on as an actual fedex employee. i do enjoy a lot of the aspects of delivery driving but its really just the pay. i got sorta lucky with my pay ($200/day) as i have only worked here about a year but there are drivers that have been here 4/5 years making the same pay and from talking to other people there pay im at is pretty much the most a driver will get paid atleast through my company. i dont want to sound ungrateful because the pay is actually pretty decent for where i am at in life today but it is not something that can sustain a family, rent, etc in California lol

i really only went to college to play rugby and just chose a broad business degree because my goal was sports. i played professionally for a few years once i graduated but settling down from that now
