“The principal reason to watch American sports is to sit on your arse eating and drinking huge quantities of pretzels and watery beer without anyone staging an intervention. I think that’s the attraction.”

like football is better?...a sport that doesn't even correlate with dominance...you can dominate every metric in football and still lose 2-0....to most european club fans it's just an opportunity to see friends and family, get drunk, start fights, and sing songs...the game is an afterthought lol
