Do Europeans like American football?

I am from England and i love to watch nfl. I play all the Madden Games and my favourite team is the Chicago Bears. I think there are a lot more Europeans that like NFL than there are U.S people who like soccer. But that is understandable with so many huge national sports anyway, unlike in England where football (soccer) is king and only a few other sports, like rugby, circket and tennis are followed. America has a lot of tradtional sports; baseball, basketball, amercian football, ice hockey, whereas soccer is a new sport in the states.

Because us Americans are getting tired of it and the English don't want our throw aways.\nNow, American football is a game you could love. Try your rugby. I love rugby and would be an avid fan if I lived in England.\nCan you get me tickets?

canada at least, they got their own league, the CFL, here, in europe, we have a pro league too called the NFLE (E for Europe), teams are mostly based in germany, otherwise, each european country has its own non-pro league\nTo answer your second question, no, (US) football and rugby are to different sports; they have some things in common, like, for instance, the shape of the ball (although the pigskin is a bit smaller than the rugby ball) and the way to score points (entering the endzone with the ball) although in tugby, the ball MUST touch the ground in order to score the 5 or 6 pts...

Europeans seem to have their act together in a lot of ways. America lives in the dark ages. Just look at the Neanderthal who first answered this question.

First American style football is not only played in the US, but also Europe has leagues, just to name one other location. Both fields are rectangular, with the sidelines (touchlines) being longer than the end lines (goal lines). Both have a midfield, but after these 2 things, it is pretty much over with what is alike.

So tired of this question... \n\nWhy is the rest of the world so insecure because Americans have a game that is more fun than soccer and decided to call it football.  I'm thinking of starting a petition to change the official name of the American sport from football to:\n"THE GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD AND TONS BETTER THAN DUMB STUPID SOCCER BALL"  \nWe'll still call it football for short though and insist that persons from Europe must call it by it's formal name.  Anyone want to sign up?  \n\nIf you are really interested in how American football got it's name, see the link below.  Everything you ever wanted to know.

American football is the most popular spectator sport in the United States :).

No, because they only had it in 94 (Rose Bowl was the final)\n\nAnd because Americans dont appreciate the sport.

Yes we are Europeans, the Americans regard us as Europeans, the special relationship is only one way and is mostly in our imagination (Iraq proved that).

In US, It's obviously the Super Bowl. In Europe, It's the world cup
