Football was a sport before "American Football", so Football is one sport, and American Football another.

Note to Dumbass: America ITSELF comes from England.

No shit huh..
Doesn't mean that you have to steal or borrow everything though, there IS actually Americans who have invented stuff. :grumpy:
Or do you mean that the term "American Football" in itself is a tribute to England.. ? :laugh:

Eye of the beholder.
Or made them more commercial, in most Europeans eyes.
I dunno how you Americans can stand all those fucking commercial breaks.. :grumpy:

We're a capitalist society. We make money. I realize in Norway there's nothing to advertise but fish, fish, and more fish, but here, we supply the world with products & entertainment.

Nope, we're as much capitalists as you, (not that it's something to brag about ::) ), we could have ads 24/7 IF it was allowed.
(And fish is the least advertised product.. :loco: )
Here we have regulations on how much advertisement TV channels can air, you can't get off with anything, thank god.
I guess you can have 80% adverts and 20% programs in U.S. and still get away with it, or do you have any regulations.. ?
Take MTV e.g.. you have 8-10 minutes programs, 5-7 minutes commercials, 8-10 minutes programs, etc..
