Baseball is just a modified version of Cricket. And "American" Football is just a modified version of Rugby. Both are European in origin as well.

Yeah, but we modified those games to make them appeal to Americans. I think most Americans would rather watch a Pop Warner Mighty-Mites football game than a professional rugby match.

Speak for yourself.
My whole sporting year resolves around avoiding baseball at all cost. What a bore these days.

Cricket isn't bad unless you're completely clueless as to what is going on.

And rugby! Wow!! Great sport! This is another sport that would be enjoyed if people knew more about it.

Of course, some Americans view soccer much in the same way I view GOLF--->SNORE!
