[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I’ll take a lot of heat, especially the hardcore paytriots, but whats the allure with American football filling the stadium even if they know beforehand their school sucks and will get absolutely destroyed?

Vs what they call soccer here, never ever filling the stands/bleachers no matter how amazing the team is and even if they’re a contender to win the state championship?

Please explain this infatuation to a South American who simply doesn’t get it.

Not interested in specifics about how one is played with the hand and the other the foot, just curious what draws these crowds for a sport that spends 85 to 90% of time idle and has a fringe playing time of action.

Plus I see overweight and outright obese children in it just to make a human wall or crash into a running body and I can’t for the life of me understand how that’s supposed to be healthy. Subjecting a child to heart disease and diabetes before they turn 30.

Really curious.  TIA![/quote]

Coupled with the fact my D1 son makes more money playing college football than most parents on this board make at their job. He loves the game and money.  Even bigger money potential.  Yes, could get injured playing football, or hit by a car, or crash in a plane….you get my point.  PS free college too!  Crummy sport though right?

But when that CTE kicks in [/quote]

The “but when” logic?  But when your kid gets killed in combat, but when your kid gets killed in a car accident.  Your logic dictates nobody serves in the military or drives/rides in a car.  Do you follow your dreams or hide in the house?  Guess we all have to make our choices and live with them right?[/quote]
