The Youtube vid ends with an add for a church and Jesus, though the first part is from a Scientology advertisement.
Either way, a few years ago they started doing commercials. I haven't seen any adds lately so I don't know if I would call it a blitz. If there is, it might be counter-programming because of the upcoming film 'The Master', which is a thinly veiled film about L. Ron Hubbard and how he created a cult.

Apparently someone didn't watch the Superbowl.
They've been running TV ads for quite some time.

The thing is, Rugby creates a vicious cycle of brain damage that creates people that play it.
The violence creates brain damaged players, who won't stop because of it. This drags more people into it, and the cycle continues ad nauseum.

We used to say that your version of "Football", IE soccer, was a girl's sport.
But then we realized that this wasn't true, girls could play gridiron as well.

Girls can do pretty much anything men can do... except have a Y chromosome (except for some very rare cases...) 
But then I was talking about wusses, rather than girls

See, this is where I think the other cults/religions/whatever could take a leaf out of Scientology's book. You never see adverts for any of them, and their high-street presence is woeful. All it needs is someone to come up with some snappy slogans:
'Islam: Wait, come back! We're the religion of peace!'

Actually I do see Christian adverts.
They're far more competently made than this scientology one.

Have you seen some of the people playing rugby professionally?
If they weren't playing rugby they'd probably be out killing people... or sabretooth tigers...

Apparently they sometimes post adverts on buses and highway billboards. Only seen that on photos, though, so not sure if shopped. I haven't noticed it last time I was in the states, but that was more than a decade ago and from what I've heard religion has been getting somewhat more aggressive/popular since then.
Other than that, don't you also have those Jehova Witnesses? Where do all those jokes come from?
