If the US switched from pounds to kilograms overnight, there’d be mass confusion.

Oddly with this topic, soccer and football both use the imperial system. So despite the UK using Kilos, meters, cm, mm (also common in science anyway) we stil have a 25 yard box in soccer. I am involved in amercan football so use yards anyway.

We still use Miles for distance

I think both can co-exist, you just use which ever is most appropriate and make sure everyone is on the same page, esp in science. Glassware in chemistry is measured in metric anyway and I would assume this is the same in the US too.
