Tell me when and where!!!!!  American football is the most ridiculous sport I´ve ever seen!!  I think that the people who think that soccer (football for everyone outside the US) is boring have never sat through an entire World Cup match.  I don´t know how anyone could think it´s boring!\n\nAmen, brother!

im a canadian. The People in the us take football WAY too sriously. Some of them would sell their first born just to get into a game. I went to the orange bowl once in flordia, and the first thing i noticed was that almost everyone had their team colours on and that they were getting wasted out of their mimds just for a football game. There was fights and even a stabbing. People in the US take it like it was life and death. I mean some of them are F ucking nuts. oh and as for football being all american , it was invented by canadians uh burn. oh soccer umm its not really big in north america not even here in canada, Esspecially not in the US.

Personally, I LOVE American football, for the following reasons:\n1. You only play 16 regular games, so every game REALLY counts.\n2. The playoff you really only get one shot; it is win or go home, literally\n3. The Super Bowl is the same way. One game decides it all. None of that series stuff. Best out of whatever.\n4. Football is the most responsible sport, with strict drug policies, draft policies, and harsh punishments for violators.\n5. Football has the most level playing field because of the salary caps. All teams have the same amount of money to spend. Therefore, the decisions make the difference not the money.\n6. Football is actually a semi-socialist sport. All teams share profits. The system is truly fascinating.\n7. Football is rough and has a sort of civilized violence which is GREAT!\n8. Football players on the whole are the lowest paid professional athletes.\n9. You never know what might happen during a halftime show. Case in point, Janet’s boob.\n10. You will see incredible acts of athleticism.\n11. It is strategic, yet exciting.\nNo wussy stuff in football.  They play in all weather.  Rain or shine, snow or sleet the game goes on.  In football there is no, "We must postpone the game because we might get wet or cold." crap.

Because they're morons and they think that that idiotic game they call football is actually a real game.

I agree with you totally. Football doesn't make much sense.\n\nI believe the game was originally called football because the players would kick the ball through the uprights for a score.\n\nWhatever, it should be called something else.

Football to me is a great sport because as a football fan you have this emotion for your team that you really can't get anywhere else. When they lose your whole week is off and when they win you know you just may have the best week. Football also has a lot contact and action the hits. The way they line up on the line of scrimmage. you cant get this kind of feeling from any other sport. I know my answer may not be the best but it is definitely how i feel about football.

Because football, when played properly and in the manner intended, is inded a beautiful thing to watch. Just watch a match from Arsenal's title winning season of 2001-2002 and you'll understand. ;-)\n\nIt probably arised from the 70s, when the Dutch invented Total Football. They placed the emphasis not just on winning, but winning by playing nice, fast-flowing football. It was pass here, pass there, shoot, score. They often ripped opponents apart using that method, and it captivated many fans.

Because soccer or I shall say football is one of the most played games in the entire world, except USA. \n\nThe world is hooked on it, just like americans watch superbowl and would kill someone if anyone would try to stop them. Hence, football puts the fighting on the field with 22 players.\n\nIts an awesome sport if you play professionaly. I spent 12 years playing it, its awesome.\n\nFootball is diplomacy with balls!

Simply put..\n\nThere are more rules in American football than any other professional sport..  You almost need a PhD to understand every rule..  That's the first reason..\n\nSecond is passion as a kid..  you becoime passionate about the sports you are exposed to as a youth..  every kid in the united states that went to high school knows someone who played high school football..  your school and your city pride was always at stake every Friday night..  \n\nBy the time you leave high school, it becomes your university and your state's pride in college..\n\nThat doesn;t exist with American football any where else in the world..  \n\nSoccer, on the other hand, it's very similar..  every town, every school every region in most countries have teams that represent in the same fashion as high school and college football do here..\n\nBut take the vast majority of the life long soccer fans from any region of the world and introduce them to football, most..  not all, but most will find the game very confusing, difficult to follow and the number one question which I hear from so many Euro and South American friends is why is it called football when they only use their foot less than 25% of the time.,.\n\nBottom line is what do you grow up with..  People in Georgia or Mississippi have a hard time following the NHL because they have no connection..  the same, to a lesser extent, to the people in Wisconson, or Minnesota with NASCAR..    Football is widely followed here in the US..  but most Germans have no clue what the difference between a forward pass and an audible is

If you've recognized the question you can probably find the answer. People are just too concerned over stupid things like that. It's almost like asking why does a guy love football or why does that lady want to have D&G shoes?

agree...some people especially those who know nothing about football are "living" on this forum << if you know what I mean.

It started out as a great way to score points...with ones foot.\n\nAmerican football was created by an Army General that thought rugby just didn't have enough excitement, regimentation or strategy ... so he adapted rugby...kept some of the features, like drop kicking for a score.\n\nIt's evolution has simply made it too dangerous and too difficult to attempt scoring in that manner...with the feet on the ball...\n\nWhile you're watching FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) - what - three languages in one title...\n\nlook at all the 21 year olds that play...now watch pro American football....a 21 year old would be slaughtered ... it takes years to make a man smart enough and tough enough for this sport.\n\nvisit me at a dot com called american-football-frankfurt

These people are none other than people who hop the bandwagons, Steelers and Packers have alot of them, same with the patriots. Before they won the SB no one even bought Patriot Jerseys. Sometimes people just like different players so they wear their jerseys.

It is just an expression that comes from bullfighting. When the "toreador" or "torero" make a good pass on the bull the public screams Ole. thats's where it came to football.
