know nothing about american football

American football is something like rugby. In fact I wonder why they even call it football since they kick the ball very rarely. I personally find it very boring, most of the time the players just sit there waiting for the game to start again.

Fu*king "FOOTBALL" you ignorant tw*ats 'cos you play with.. wait for it.... your feet\n\nWe as a nation(England) got to name the sport 'cos we invented the fu*ker.\nI don't even like the bloody sport but it annoys and boils my pi*s when these Americanisms pop up and start to take over a perfectly good language as the Queens English.\nI mean come on, they run about with a ball in their HANDS and have the friggin cheek, ignorance and f fu*king stupidity to call it football what where they asleep at the point of naming this sport or just not watching. \n\nSoccer(what a gay name. Sorry folk, but if your idea of fun is a cock up your arse then I doubt you'll  be offend if you do that for fun), it sounds so wrong no wonder the folk in America don't like the sport could they thought of a more off putting name.\nSaying this the ever coherent president of the USA if you panic him with a question he hasn't rehearsed, watch how many words he can make up in his panic. It tickles me something rotten.What a knob he his.\n\nkind of didn't read your question before i went on a rant but as you can see football all the way

How are American sports fans dumb if we follow a sport (football) which is much more technical than soccer could ever hope to be?

football is a mans sport.... LOL\n\nyo! stfu u r a typical american talking crap as per usual!!\n\nYou wanna see a mans sport watch rugby or Aussie rules, similar to your "football" except that there is NO padding and NO helmets worn and the umpires dont stop the game the moment things get rough!!\n\nFootball (the real football) is a game of skill and stamina not about who can kill the other.\n\nSoccer is what americans call football because you call that other game football the one we (the rest of the WORLD) call American Football, which LouisLondon rightly pointed out has NO ball and no talented way of using your feet except to run.

Well, the average person doesn't really know a lot about football beyond their favorite team, so it's a little skewed and often no more than a guess about who will win. Experts are being paid to follow ALL football teams and understand the parts of the game a little better. So while they're using the exact same scale, they have a better sense of who will actually win.

Hello, i'm david i used to live in europe for 15 years, i lived in the usa for 4 years now. I am a huge sport fan, when i was in europe i followed soccer and basketball. In europe american football is not popular at all, nba is making its case right now, but not the nfl. I think the only people who care about American football are American, but don't get me wrong i am a Chicago bears fan since i moved too america. The top two reasons i believe is that football is slow paced and there is two many commercial and it is called football

I'm not a huge football fan but the name football doesn't make any sense because you rarely use your foot.  I think fumball is a gr8 name.

the NFL game is far too quick for any college team to compete against even the lowest of the NFL

No they dont! There are some pretty bad teams in the NFL. The Lions for one. Redskins may not be as good as the hype was for this season, but ease up. There not horrible. As for the comment below me, everyone in the DC area is minor?! What the heck are you talking about? Have you heard of the Wizards or DC United?! Orioles and Nationals may not be good but there popular and well known.

Many people in the US don't like football. It's not "as exciting and fun" as American football or baseball. Both of those sports I think are lame and stupid.\nI, for one, am glad the US lost. Hardly anyone cares about football here and why should a team go through with little support from their country?\nI have no idea how much US players get paid, but GO ITALIA! ( :
