    All I remember about American Football was how fucking slow the pace of the game was compared to literally every other mainstream sport. It was definitely designed for a fat ass country.

      It’s a game of strategy and formations, like chess or military drills, instead of just kicking a ball around for 90 minutes.

      You dont want to watch 20 minutes total of game play, 974 ads, 40 minutes of dudes squatting in a line, 20 minutes of B-roll and 60 minutes of random people in the crowd, every week for several weeks, while also needing to pay 5-7 services to catch all of your favorite team’s games?

        No I never watched it. I had the unfortunate pleasure of playing a few games during sports week through my UK school years. It was every bit as fucking boring as you implied. There is a reason only Americans play that shit.

          Reminder it the all American sport used to be baseball which while I don’t enjoy it personally is an actually functional and well made game to the point where you can listen to a radio commentary and know what’s going on. Seriously why the actual fuck did football overtake baseball, it’s like how MMA overtook boxing.
