1..It's played by Americans
Mostly Americans, yes. But more and more... other nationalities are playing American football as well. Especially at the kicker position. It's becoming more of a melting pot, if you will.
2. It's Ghey
What's gay about it? The huddles? The quarterback lining up behind center with his hands against the center's butt? Hmm... I can see where that could be a problem. But other than that, what's gay about it?
3. You enjoy it
Yes... immensely. Isn't that a good thing?
4. An anal fistula is more appealing
I've yet to see scientific studies or surveys regarding this particular point, but I would venture to say that probably over 80% of the world's population would prefer watching American football to an anal fistula.
5. It's not exhilarating
Exhilarating to whom? To you? To Brits? Define "exhilarating."
6. We have enough Proper Sports
Is there such a thing as too much sport? Sports are healthy, physical activities good for mind and body. Can one have too much of a good thing?
7. It's stops every five seconds so that not only the fans at home and in the stadium can eat a bucket of lard but also most of the players and some of the coaches
Yes... there are breaks in the action. But mostly timed so you don't spend all day at a huddle calling the next play. And yes... some of the players are FAT (mostly the linemen), and many of the coaches. The players are still pretty athletic, though.
8. If your going to wear armour you should work for King Arthur
The speed of the game and the violent hits pretty much dictate that some kind of protection must be used. Otherwise, it would just be organized mayhem.
9. A game that is mostly about holding an egg should not be called football
Well... the name was chosen a while back. It would be kind of hard to change to "eggball" at this point in time. And it wouldn't sound as cool.
10. The day an American called football "Soccer" billions around the world vowed never to take your "sports" seriously again
AHA! The real reason behind your inherent dislike of American football. What's in a name? Really. Why should anyone be offended at a name to describe a sport? In the overall scheme of things... what's the big deal?
