Before the game can go pro in the USA the tv companies have to start showing matchesand its got to start being played in the colleges.Given that sponsorship will hopfully follow and a pro league in the states becomes possiable.The IEB are going to be pushing hard for the USA to be plating the big boys regually .Lets hope that kickstarts it

But look at Australia. They have Aussie Rules, they have NRL, and they have Union. 3 contact physical sports that are similar in as many ways as they are different. Over in the states, nothing really competes with Amer Football in terms of likeness.
Aussie Rules and NRL are basically played in the same season, and they are the two most popular sports. Union could very well become popular if it builds grassroots. It comes down to people generally dont want to watch a game they know nothing about, including the rules, the superstars, etc. But as we play more in school, we will have whole generations of people who know the game and would want to watch it here.
My guess is 15 years or so before we have true professional league. Heck, it could even be like an opposite of the NHL, where we have a few big cities participate in a canadian league. But it will happen, just you wait.

@ Trianglechoke
If it does - how will it attract support from more established sports like American footy ?
