So because Americans don't like it it's not so great? What about the rest of the world? Football is acknowledged as the single most popular sport in the world man! Just cos you Yanks don't get it --- and let's not forget, the odd time you do well you're all over the effing place about how great your team is --- doesn't make it no good. What arrogance!

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.
Again, you know nothing about football and its history. I don't go to matches or drink, but I love it. It can be enjoyed without being drunk. The unpredictability of say a tiny team unexpectedly beating a world class one can't be overstated. It's a game in which anything can happen. Now, given that, I know next to nothing about American Football, and it's possible unexpected things can happen in the games of course, but it does seem to be almost choreographed to the nth degree, removing a lot of the spontanaeity from it you get from football here.

World series is legit since all the best players play here. Its the best league in the world and not close

Society is not telling me to like football.

Cricket is huge here, I think it's toss.
Cause its a much more complicated sport than all other sports. Would take forever to teach and learn

And all the best football players play in Europe.

Calling it the 'world series' when only American teams can play in it .

I think you're trying to bait someone into an argument but I'll bite. You think baseball and basketball are not played outside the US?? Ever heard of Mexican baseball or the Dominican Republic or Venezuela?? Ever noticed the enormous number of American baseball players who have Spanish surnames and who speak with Spanish accents???

And apparently, you've never heard of European basketball which has produced NBA stars like Petrovich, Divacs, Gasol, not to mention Tony Parker who was born in Bruges, Belgium and is a French citizen in case you didn't notice his French accent.

Getting back to baseball, let's not forget MLB players with names like Suzuki, Shinjo, Sasaki, Nomo, Matsui, and Yu Darvish (half-Japanese and half-Iranian).

Next, you'll be saying nobody cares about hockey outside the US.

Baseball is a poor man's cricket.

But they're American teams. It's just stupid on every level.

The English Premier League is full of international players. It's an English league. If you win, you're the champions of England (technically Wales too since Swansea & Cardiff play in it).

If it was a true 'World Series' you should have the countries of the world play each other. But nobody gives enough of a fuck about baseball to field a team other than Americans
