Why does that matter to you so much what other people outside of your country think about one sport?

Number 2 from Batty's first sport applies to all you soccer/football fans abroad.

I think it matters because most sports are enjoyed outside either their country of origin or the one acknowledged to be the best at it. Other than GAA and hurling. And camogie. And just about every indigineous Irish sport.

But baseball, basketball, American Football and so on are pretty much US-only interests, and few people outside of America care about them. I mean, come on: the "World Series"??? :rolleyes:

Because if American football is that good why doesn't anyone outside of America play it?

Society is not telling me to like football.

Cricket is huge here, I think it's toss.

world survey by phone.

Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the un. The only question asked was:

"would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world."

the survey was a huge failure because of the following:

1. In eastern europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

2. In western europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

3. In africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

4. In china they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

5. In the middle east they didn't know what "solution" meant.

6. In south america they didn't know what "please" meant.

7. In the usa they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

8. In the uk they hung up as soon as they heard the indian accent.
:d

There is a thing called cultural differences and American Football is that good only to americans because of the rich history that it has here. Other countries don't want to play it because they don't share that same history. It's the same thing as Why does a large majority of American people hate/don't care about your version of football? It's not that great then by your logic.

Society is indeed telling you to like football that's why you have such rabid ****ing fans in football. Not because the game is in the least way exciting. It's just for the atomsphere of other people being there and being drunk.

But yet they play British football?

Americans don't care about British football because they're trapped in their little bubble, British football is massive worldwide.

World Cup final gets more viewers than the Olympics and Superbowl though.
