Hmmm.
Well obviously rap is the best for nearly everyone here, but really?
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Oasis etc. Britain basically owned the American charts up until the 90s.
And as for the Olympics - didn't you not win Basketball? The 100 metre sprint relay - who won? And the EU actually won the most medals. lol.
Sikotic™:
You're comparing the EU to America, a single sovereign state? lol
eS El Duque:
^^LOL..
Anywayz, I believe most euro's here havn't seen a NFL Football Game. Even 7-7 games are exciting, cause every play COUNTS. One bad pass, one bad fumble, one interception could win the game. Last year, about more than half the games were settled by a touchdown or less. NFL games arn't always high scoring..if you want to see HIGHSCORING FOOTBALL GAMES, you watch the CFL Football games, those are fuckin high scoring games lol..wider field, and 3 downs.
Anywayz, Hockey IS the best sport in the world IMO. So fast, contact sport,and there is beauty to the game (not physically :P).

--- Quote ---HISTORY OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL
Football historians, those who have studied the game and its origins, place the games beginnings in rugby, an English game played with many similarities to football. Rugby began in eighteen twenty-three at the famous Rugby Boys School in England.
(...)
Walter Camp, the coach at Yale and a dissenter from the IFA over his desire for an eleven man team, helped begin the final step in the evolution from rugby-style play to the modern game of American football. The IFAs rules committee, led by Camp, soon cut the number of players from fifteen to eleven, and also instituted the size of the playing field, at one hundred ten yards.(...)

So, pretty much, both Football, Rugby, and American Football originally comes from England.
Football was a sport before "American Football", so Football is one sport, and American Football another.

Note to Dumbass: America ITSELF comes from England.

Who cares if american sports are based of european sports. The fact is this.
America based their sports off europeans, and made them better, as usual.
