1) I grew up with it...\n2) Not every player in the NFL is in for money, alot play for the love of the game (for instance Brett Favre)...\n3) Why does everyone pick on the NFL, every other professional sport is "all about money" too, and not love of the game...\n4) College is just as bad if you think about it, I know alot of guys who only play college ball for a free ride (many didn't need it), that's the same as playing for money and not love of the game!!!

When you make all that money just to play a game, and millions of people watch sports, before long you get to thinking they are just there to see you play. You get the big head, and your ego goes crazy. Same thing that happens with those overpaid actors in Hellywood. It's all ego and sinfull pride.

While I like to watch both, it's true that smarter people enjoy baseball and big dumb people who can barely graduate high school (if at all) enjoy watching football more because it's easier to understand that a big 300 pound guy can tackle a 200 pound running back or wide receiver, plus they probably like the pretty colors on the helmets...but it actually takes a brain and more skill to figure out where in God's name you're going to try to locate a fastball against the other team's best power hitter in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the winning run on second base. Or when the best count is to do a hit-and-run or why there are so many little things (like how to round a bag when running) you can do in baseball that don't get mentioned by announcers that often but can be pivotal in any game. It's a game of inches. Baseball players play 162 game schedules, that's not easy. Baseball fans watch their favorite team 162 times a year. Baseball fans are more hardcore. It's easy to be a football fan, your team plays 16 times in between week intervals, and if you make the playoffs, they play 19 at most. People who don't understand sports, claim to be experts in football when they aren't, all they are is people who think they're fitting in by watching this game, which is popular, and can be interesting, but don't have a damn clue on what the hell a 4-3 defense is. I bet you don't know what that is do you? Explain it to me. If you do, I'm sure you looked it up on Wikipedia or something, right? \nI bet you're the kinda person that plays Madden on Playstation all the time and it makes you a damn genius on football right? Because you've figured out a cheat code or a running play the computer can't defend. If you ever actually got into pads though and got knocked on your ass, you'd be probably be the type to quit right away. \nIt takes balls to play football and baseball and it takes brains for both to watch, but it takes a wimp to hide behind this question.

You could argue the same of any and all professional sports.  It's not that hard to kick a ball around, but it is hard to kick it at the level that (most) professional players do.\nYou could also say that "it's not hard to do tell someone how to do math," yet not many people are truly good at teaching math.  You could make the same argument for any profession too (as people already pointed out)!\nSports do have a purpose and place in society - to entertain people, to unite people of different background behind a single team, to give them an outlet for energy passion and so on.\nThe problem, as I see it, is that most people take this passion way over the top and make their fandom an obsession and spend far too much money on merchandise, tickets, etc.  Players get paid the money they get paid because people buy their shirts, pictures, shoes, and all that other stuff.  If people didn't buy their merchandise, teams and companies (Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc.) would not have the money to pay players with.\n\nI can't tell you why all footballers chose becoming footballers, but I can tell you that fame, money (getting out of poverty), glory, representing their country in front of the world, and the joy of doing something they love as a job are good enough reasons to become one.\n\nFind what you love and do it... unless it's illegal and/or harms others :)

When it comes down to it, the single thing I enjoy the most about football is when a player gets his helmet knocked off of him completely. No other sport has anything that can be compared to it.\n\nAlso, I enjoy the importance that is put of every game, especially in the playoffs. \n\nThe NFL is the most perfect sports organization ever in all the world. Period.

Football is the best, it's very competitive, where any team can beat anyone, it's not like that in most other sports. It's a simple game, anyone can learn it and understand with a little time. In most game it's close, making it exciting and this keeps people glued to the game. It's also very fun to play, well, that's if you don't mind taking a hit or two.\n\nBaseball is fun to play, but anymore it's the same teams winning and loosing year after year. It's also a slow game.

Football (or soccer as you call it), has never been, and never will be, a game where the scores run into double figures. That's half the excitement/heartbreak of it. Knowing that a game can turn in a split second, with one incident.\n\nIt's because of this that it's unique in it's universal appeal for hundreds of millions of people, from all races and cultures.\n\nAnd if you look closely enough, you could say all sports are linked. Most use some kind of ball and are played in a specific, marked out area.

Money has only really been talked about in football since the start of the Premiership due to the huge amount generated by the new league. \n\nMan Utd had to deal with the tag of "buying" all the trophies they won for all of the 90's. We had the advantage of having more money because of our success on the field, as well as excellent business strategies. Marketing the club in places like Asia, as well as increasing stadium capacity when ever we could, and millions of other profit making idea's has meant that we are the best supported club in the world.\n\nChelsea however have done none of the above so they will "suffer" the problem of being called title buyers more, but lets face it, with some justification. In a few years when they have won the CL and a few more championships, and when Roman has stopped overpaying for players, then maybe it will stop but will you care by then? I doubt it. I didn't care in 1999!!!\n\nSo no, people will never shut the **** up about Chelski buying the title.....that is until somebody richer comes in and buys Accrington Stanley.........who are they?........Exactly!!!

The main reason why Football is not as popular in the US is because of money.\nThere is no $$$ in football. All the games aired on TV, get a ton of sponsors/marketing/advertising because there are many intervals during the game, like basketball, american football and baseball. But in football there is only one interval of 15 minutes during more than 90 minutes of game time.\nAlso, America already has 3 Major sports, i.e, American Football, Baseball and Basketball. \n\nThe game will only catch on once more money comes into the sport, so more colleges can offer scholarships and the soccer leagues can offer more pay, and this is all possible only if there is more sponsorship/marketing.

The players are the ones. They get the glory, fame, fortune, national prestige, money and awards. What else more? And what do the people get? Happiness, Excitement from watching the game, a hole in their pockets due to subscription of sports channels, sore throats from cheering and another hole in their pockets for buying and supporting the teams they support.\n\nPeace among people?I doubt so. Rivalry and football betting might result in fights like the one when Juventus went against Liverpool and there were riots. \n\nViewers aren't the winners. They just lose more money as compared to the players.

Because the whole system was a crapshoot that meant real fans affiliated to their National Supporters Associations got tiny allocations. \n\nI used to work at one of the big football sponsors and during Euro 2000, every employee had the option to buy tickets at a subsidised rate - most people bought them and then sold them on to desperate fans at a huge profit.\n\nIt's about the fact that the World Cup is now a way to make money and not about the football any more.

I often wonder the same thing...I just cant get into college football like I get into the NFL. I just dont like watching big plays every other down, and thats what happens in college. Scores of 60 to 50 are ridiculous and not entertaining to me. I want to see the best of the best...I want to see people playing for paychecks...I want to see people earning money. \n\nIt is not near as exciting as NFL...thats the real deal!

you make a good point here. it makes no sense to argue over which sport is better. different people enjoy different sports, nothing wrong with that. \nwe should appreciate the spirit of the sport which is  fair competition and achieving performance through effort and self improvement\n\ni also like a lot of other sports beside football

College. The level of excitement in front of up to 110,000 fans is amazing. These kids don't get paid to play, they just love the game. Many of them will go into history forgotten, yet they make the games so exciting. The pride, rivalry, passion, traditions compares no other sport. The NFL has none of that, or a little bit. These players don't really care about their team, they just go to the one that offers them the most money. In college, you pick a team, and you represent them your whole life. College football is a terrific experience, and if you haven't been to a major game, you are missing out.
