Rugger
One of the American sports channels has been showing a lot of rugby recently - showing one or two English premiership games a weekend, not live but a full replay later in the day. Which is fine by me, since I DVR and watch them later anyway. And they're even showing some of the European games. I enjoy watching a game of rugby on telly a lot more than watching a game of American football. And I think it's a good sport to watch in person as well. I think if I was back in England, I would want to be a season ticket holder at whatever club is nearest to me. And if I was coming back for Christmas, I would definitely want to watch "The Big Game" at Twickenham. But who is my team? There is Bath - who I saw play a couple of times when I studied there. Is it Leicester - who I also saw play a couple of times when I studied there? Or is it Harlequins - the "local" side when I come back to the UK? I honestly don't know, but I think I do need to pledge my allegiance to somebody.
