And it's a full-blown billion dollar money machine in its own right*, of course.
But 'sports' they ain't.
Not much different from the real football, played and revered in and by the other 95% of the world, of course. Or the other national, continental, and global 'sports' concessions (Formula One, IndyCar, tennis, cycling, etc. etc.). Distractions galore.
*billions that are percolating UP, not down, BTW! To be sure.
Wow, you really went off on a tangent now. Napo originally started this, insulting the Super Bowl, claiming that we don't have the right to call them "world" champions. At least this argument is debatable. Min added several good points about baseball and now you've been refuting all along with these unsubstantiated remarks.
It seems clear to me that you're looking for a stick to beat America with and I'm not sure exactly why. I'm sorry, but as a whole, your athletes just don't offer us any competition and Americans fall asleep watching your soccer games. Pretending that the reason is anything other is simply absurd.
You want to kick a ball around and make believe that you have superior athletes just cause we don't participate in your silly tournaments - go right ahead, but don't expect anyone to ignore the fact that you clearly have an agenda now. Bashing America by any means you can find.
At least that seems to be the goal of all of your recent posts.
