see....shit like this. ^^
I didnt diss soccer. But American Football is "gay"...while prancing around with your hands in the air (dont wanna get em dirty now) like a fuckin sissy, kicking a little ball around and falling on the ground writhing in pain anytime another player touches your jersey.....no...not gay at all.

look man, forget all the gay stuff...the reason people dont like american sports like baseball and football is because there is more emphasis on analyzing little bits and pieces, predictions, hype about players going here there, what formation, tactics they pic, etc.......than the ACTUAL GAME
most soccer fans hate to watch analysis, opening ceremony, commercials, etc, extra hype, they just wanna get down to the damn game and stay glued to tv for every sec so u dont miss anything. Soccer is a chess game, yes its not gonna be full on 90min back and forth u need to be super human for that, so obviously some parts of it game slows down so they catch the breath.
So u see if they didnt waste so much time in analyzing football and stopping the game every 5sec to review the game, it'll have more fans and interest. And there isnt much that u see different in NFL year in year out, same plays, same tackles, same runs, same throws, etc.....thats why its not memorable, i be u as a fan cant recall many important moments from even last years playoffs. Soccer is not forgettable, every game counts, every goal is important and every game is history. Thats the difference.

Youre only looking at it from the perspective of a Soccer fan. To Football fans, Soccer is in NO way a chess match. Football is. I dont even see how that can be debated. Especially when you said yourself Football is so much more about formation, tactics, and analysis. Football is a game of X's and O's as they say. Its about strategy. There is a reason an offensive playbook in the NFL is the size of an encyclopedia. There are tons of twists and turns, within one game. Whereas soccer doesnt feel that way. And I actually like watching Soccer during the World Cup. Just hard to follow it all the time. Football has plenty of fans lol. And its growing. Like I said...check the attendance everytime they go to London and play. Or Mexico and play. Or wherever. If you dont realize the way Football changes as time goes on...then its because you arent educated enough on the game. Maybe you can say the same for Football fans...about Soccer. Cus to us, it doesnt seem to have changed EVER. Its the same shit. Running back and forth, very little strategy, very little ACTUAL action that matters. The game is active, it IS nonstop. But it seems like you can count the amount of important plays in a Soccer game on one hand. The only reason why EVERY goal is so important in Soccer, is cus there hardly any of them. The only reason you stay glued to the tv, is because it would be a damn shame to watch an entire Soccer game and MISS the one second of relevant action during the whole game.

Fuck off Rugby >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NFL
Your shitty stop start game that involves putting the players in cotten wool padding is crap compared to rugby. True people watch the NFL in the UK but usually just the Final cause its so hyped by the American media and pushed upon us.

lol There will be an NFL team in London at some point. Poor Rugby. Its like watching your little sister play Football lol. Yeah, they have no pads. No pads because they hit like pussies. In Basketball they dont wear pads either. Why? Because they dont get hit as hard as Football. In Soccer they dont wear pads. Why? Cus they dont get hit as hard as football. Rugby is no different. Its just that the players are fuckin morons compared to those other sports.

if Ray Lewis in his absolute prime played Rugby, men would have been killed.
