At least you get 45 mins of uninterupted action with football, with american football it's like an infomercial, seemed to be as much adverts as 'action', way too commercial and it took them ages to score. I dread to think what it used to be like when it was more defensive... It seemed to stop everytime a tackle went in, no flow at all.

No-one can say football's not a sport, and there's loads more ways to score than any other sport, and the fact it tends not to be very high scoring means a game can be turned on its head in a few minutes, which couldn't happen in other sports where it's high scoring, it'd take too long to even the score, nevermind take the lead. I think proper footballs popularity says it all!
a: i love football
b: i love american football
c: i'm half-swedish/half-american
d: i grew up with both
e: someone who did not grow up with either isn't likely to appreciate what makes either of these sports dynamic, unique, and interesting
