All you need to know is that they stop the game every 5 minutes so they can show more ads.
Proudly never watched that garbage of AF in my life.
*AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS*
If you actually look at the sport for what it is, it’s not terrible. It’s a tactical game with some interesting quirks. It would be more interesting if they kept the footage on the field in the 40 seconds between plays, instead of cutting to an advert it would be more involving.
You could spend 40 seconds waiting, to see a 6 second play. Then wait another 40 seconds to watch 5 seconds.
It’s too slow.
It’s just a shittier version of rugby
Fuck it I’m going to say it, the yanks actually got something right for once in their lives. American Football is fucking brilliant especially after you cheating continentals ruined actual football with your cheating and play acting. You even look at a premier league footballer and he’s on the ground crying his eyes out. At least the Americans are beasting the fuck out of each other.
Plus the draft is so good and such a great way of introducing talent. Think youre hot shit because you got picked first well you’re going to the Bungles enjoy.
I tried to watch it. It seems a good game to me (since I’m a huge rugby fan) but ads spoil everything
An overhyped, overpriced, ad-saturated sissy version of rugby
Tbf this stupid shit is far worse
I know multiple people who really enjoy it. There is even a small club in my gome town. I don’t get it either.
Nah American Football is cool
Looks like amateur rugby crossed with one of those japanese gameshows with contestants in fat suits
The sport could be somewhat enjoyable if I could watch the sport. Instead you watch 5 minutes of sport and 55 minutes of advertisements.
I actually played american football when I lived in Belgium. It’s much more fun than football in my opinion, we even got to division 2. Good times.
I read somewhere that in american “””football””” in the 3 hours of game duration only 11 minutes are actually played.
There is a similar problem in the NBA where the 48 minutes played are stretched into a two and a half hours span (tbh between fouls and free throws the real game lasts one and a half hours, so the ads between the 4 periods and during the timeouts take up “only” one hour)
They’re both lame sports tbh
Hate soccer, love football.
I mean, it’s just a strange version of Rugby but you can yeet yourself at people like a wrestler. (the famous wrestling Spear is just the football tackle). And Rugby isn’t popular as to begin with.
The only good american “sport” is Wrestling IMO
Like most things American, it’s overly complicated for the sake of making something complicated.
Soccer has like three important rules and you can play the game and understand the game.
With that being said, soccer is boring af. Then again most sports are. At least in regards to watching other people play them.
Advertisers. They enjoy this crap a lot. This so called “sport” is just some short brakes between expensive ads.
I for one like it a lot.
And the 3 NFL games in Germany were sold out ten times over.
So the meme is really baseless
It’s fake football anyway. And we have to be forced to call real football, “soccer”.
I like it
From what I understand Gridiron Football in the way the Yanks do it is allegedly the closest we’ll ever get to a Gladiatorial Combat Bloodsport, specifically due to the high mortality rate of their players as well as all the brain damage they suffer due to the constant head trauma.
Also another thing I personally find WILD is that high school teams over there are, like the movies depict, apparently this Mega Business filled with ads where 80% of the school badget goes and where everyone goes to watch them and shit.
Like, to use an Italian example, is as if the biggest form of entertainment for actual football wasn’t the A series or even the National Team or even the fucking Primavera teams of 14-19 years old instead, but the Calcetto team from the local Parish basically.
The sport itself is ok.
What ruins it are the breaks in game. Cutting away every couple of minutes to an ad break or guys in the studio talking or reading social media comments takes away most of the excitement.
The fact that you usually have timeouts specifically for TV makes American sports hard to watch. The same goes for the NBA, where lengthy breaks just ruin the flow of the game.
I really love to watch American football when I’m in the USA. I travel there regularly for work and when it’s the season it’s a lot of fun to watch.

My reaction is the second one to both though…
