All I remember about American Football was how fucking slow the pace of the game was compared to literally every other mainstream sport. It was definitely designed for a fat ass country.
You dont want to watch 20 minutes total of game play, 974 ads, 40 minutes of dudes squatting in a line, 20 minutes of B-roll and 60 minutes of random people in the crowd, every week for several weeks, while also needing to pay 5-7 services to catch all of your favorite team’s games?
No I never watched it. I had the unfortunate pleasure of playing a few games during sports week through my UK school years. It was every bit as fucking boring as you implied. There is a reason only Americans play that shit.
Reminder it the all American sport used to be baseball which while I don’t enjoy it personally is an actually functional and well made game to the point where you can listen to a radio commentary and know what’s going on. Seriously why the actual fuck did football overtake baseball, it’s like how MMA overtook boxing.

It’s a game of strategy and formations, like chess or military drills, instead of just kicking a ball around for 90 minutes.
Football has a ton of strategy and formations. Don’t watch the ball for a half and just look at the backline and the movement in the mid field.
Not disagreeing with you on American football either. I love watching post game tape.
Yeah I keep forgetting only the games of chess, military drills?? And American football has strategy and formations, my bad.
It does seem fun to be an NFL coach. much less boring, and dangerous.

Gotta have time to talk, drink, take a piss, get a snack, argue about the last play, etc.
