The unfree world settled on football, a game where there are about 6 rules.
America, the land of the free, settled on American football, a game with a rule book as thick as your arm, and one which is completely regulated in every single way.
Amusing consideration!
...but the important part is that American football isn't boring as all hell. Sure there are commercials and some downtime, but those are scheduled breaks for refreshing chips and finding more beer. They're needed and you won't miss anything.
Footba-- err, "soccer", on the other hand, might be won by the single goal scored in the first minute of the game. From there out, its just nothing but miles and miles of running back and forth. Yawn.
Gooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal! Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!
