I have to say that the lack of scoring is often an easy turn off to people who grew up watching American sports.
I’m not saying these guys ain’t ateletes, or their not hard in their own right, but American football is a sport unlike any other. I realize soccer is the most popular sport in the world but Americans are different. We tend to take more chances, and for some reason we have evolved into a warrior society. Think about it. The most revered people in our society are miiitary, cops and firefighters. Football has surpassed baseball for one simple reason, the majority of us are or want to be warriors. It’s that basic.
