But there are several that do follow it. I used to be a big fan of Manchester United because my mother was born near there and grew up as a fan, along with her brothers. I've kind of gotten away from it the last few years but I still watch when I can.

and they get all defensive

Uh, Terminus.... DO NOT!!! I'm not sensitive about it at all, I tell ya. It takes a real man to wear a ton of pads!!![:D]

Go Seahawks!!!

Heh! That's why Man U decided to get a US money man to go against Chelsea's Russian one...

Sissy sports belong to sissy countries .... Opps did I say that outloud?

I dont watch much sports at all, well none actually. Though at one time American Football was fun to watch. Never much liked Soccer. Well except when my 6 year old played it.

I think that these days more American kids play soccer than american football. However, that sport is far better designed for television coverage than is soccer. You have a play, and then a break, and then another play. Gives you time to swig a beer or chomp on a bratwurst. You can watch a whole game whilst getting thoroughly drunk and yet not miss a single part of the action, even with bathroom breaks. I think that accounts a lot for its popularity.

American football should appeal to wargamers, as well. It's a sport of taking enemy territory; and to be truly successful, it requires a balanced attack combined with a tenacious defense. Running plays and passing plays can be compared to infantry and cavalry thrusts (with long bombs being parachute drops?).

And soccer can be thought as being a fluid, running battle with no clear lines of demarcation.

Whereas "foot"ball is more WWI, with the two sides lining up, and beating on each other for an advance of maybe 10 yards.

But unlike WWI American football has cheerleaders.............and little or no mustard gas.
