I am European so that probably explains it...
You see though i love the game in movies when you see like 5 sec of it i hate it in real live, i mean it is soooo boring the dudes hardly score and they always take like 10 minutes to gain 10 measly yards, yeah such fun to look upon, it is just so damn slow and the gameplay is way too often interrupted.
Still it is better then baseball.(once again i love it in the movies) The never hit anything, it is all 0 all the time in that one with one ocaasional score.
Then i rather watch Soccer or tennis, IceHockey is fun though, i give you ppl that, too the canadians have probably invented that
