I'm using the same arrogant argument that Fluffy is using to prove a point. He's saying that just because the rest of the world doesn't like American football it's not great.

How can you say that the spontanaeity is removed from it when you say that you know next to nothing about American Football? The statement alone about it being choreographed proves that you don't know anything about American Football.
