Good for NowThis. I really like their content (though I think it’s generally a bit left of center), so hopefully these are good little segments. I’ll post the segments on here since NowThis is a social media exclusive news agency (though I think they have a website, and a free news channel)

I'm looking for suggestions about what kind of team USA merch to wear when I go in 2 weeks to rugby 7s world series in l.a

It depends what type of experience you’re looking for, and what you’re comfortable wearing.

Not wearing a trump hat if that was your suggestion

No, I was honestly trying to be helpful :cool:

I’ve been to quite a few different international events, so that’s why I asked.
