[@dstinnettmusic]

Flag football is honestly the ideal form of gridiron football for international competition, at least for now. The US (and Canada to some extent, and to an even lesser extent Australia and maybe the countries where Rugby is popular, but my point stands I think) has kind of an innate advantage internationally until the sport grows. We have an entire country of teens growing up playing youth, high school and college football, plus the NFL. So tackle football is just going to be a slaughter. But flag football kind of evens the playing field so that any big athletic guy from any country can stand a chance.

[@caleb98963]

rugby is older and already globally popular, and it’s very similar to football but with less equipment cost. I’m guessing this is the big reason football hasn’t caught on outside NA. The sports that are global are generally low barrier of entry ones, and football is high barrier of entry.
