Rugby is the most physically grueling sport on the planet, but also one of the most fun, both to play and watch. The Olympics are about testing the boundaries of athletic ability and showcasing physical prowess. No sport is better suited for that than rugby. It's also about sportsmanship, and no sport generates a feeling of brotherhood/sisterhood among teammates and opponents alike than rugby.

Rugby is the perfect game!

Rugby is one of the most incredible sports played today. It combines the qualities of soccer (European football) and American football, and is influential throughout the world. It has inspired the formation of the Paralympic Sport "Quad Rugby" previously known as Murderball. It is an ever-increasing sensation, especially in the United States, and has captivated spectators and fans all over the world. If the International Olympic Committee (IOC) looks to produce revenue, then adding a sport so beloved and interesting would make sense. If the IOC looks to create opportunities for superb competition, then adding a sport that is as dynamic, physical, and respectable as rugby makes sense. No matter what angle you look at it, rugby is a phenomenal sport, and would undoubtedly become the most popular sport in the Olympics.
