The world's dumbest sport, watched by the world's fattest people.

Compared to soccer, American football is literally rocket science. There are more rules for just the two point conversion play in football than in the entire game of soccer.


Soccer was a sport invented by Europeans to keep illiterate third world colonial peasants preoccupied and not planning revolutions. A simple game, with as few rules as possible, that can be understood, played and watched by people too uneducated to write their own name. And they still play it to this day. Unbelievable.

UK upper crust looks down on (European) football. For them rugby is the civilized sport.

You have to define obsession. There are parts of the country where it's part of the culture and the level of interest would be considered obsession by people from other parts of the country. No harm in that either direction, but if you like other aspects of those guys and want one then you'd have to come to terms with football being part of life.
