      They’ve been at that since the 90’s and its never taken off. Why bother when we have Rugby?

            The numbers of people who stay up until stupid hours of the night to watch games. And the number of tickets sold to people filling stadiums to capacity when the NFL to others countries. The NFL sent 6 teams to play last year. A game in Ireland, England, and Germany. Plus 2 teams Mexico and Brazil each. And each game was sold out and filled stadiums.

            Just like soccer is becoming a much bigger thing in the US, American football IS growing in the rest of the world. And there are some fledgling rugby amateur leagues popping up too. But we still don’t play cricket though. Baseball is better. Though I can’t prove it

      Lol at American football. What a joke. America just trying to be the center of attention everywhere, pushing their shitty head concussions on people they don’t even want in their country. As an “American”, America sucks big donkey dick. So does American footy ball
