Its just not entertaining, granted baseball is also pretty slow also. My own personal opinion is that its just boring compared to just watching Basketball or American Football. lol

These are all opinions...I consider soccer and baseball to be very popular in America...I don't consider hockey to be popular at all though

Yea just exciting american football, they stop the dam game everytime someone fucks up. "oh shit, ok retry, every one back here!!!" and if you fail too man times you better just give up the ball to other team.

Then again football is full of drama queens.

I'm more hockey type.

Its alittle more then just stoping and going, its a lot quicker then that even quicker in lower levels then in the pros where a college game can go twice as quick. I suppose you can compare it to rugby except when someone hits another person they do it to hurt them not to just tackle. lol

Truth. Its just not as fun when we don't have amazing players. I wish I got the soccer channel so I could watch premier league easier, its a pain in the ass to do it on the internet.

Football is pretty free flowing.....so is rugby.....on the other hand American football just isn't.

You have like American football more...but I don't understand why you would because it's a faster game :ohwell:

I think in the future football will become more popular in America....but because there's so many big sports like Basketball, Ice Hockey, American Football, Baseball....etc...it's hard.

Can't say I really enjoy any of the above though....maybe to play but not to watch.
