Its about culture. The All Blacks are unbelievable at rugby because that's their culture.
From a historical perspective it it interesting that America chose
not to embrace the sports from the British Empire (soccer, rugby, cricket). Unlike countries as South-Africa, Australia, who excel in rugby, or India which plays cricket as if it were a national sport. The choice of sports in America could be more politically rooted than one might expect.
