Every game has its fans and like it or not football is much more popular around the world than american football. This alone seems to bother americans sometimes so much that you get such idiotic rants by Coulter though i believe she couldn't care less about sports but just wanted to be in the spotlight again.
I'm generally a fan of good games, regardless of the sport being played. Every sport has exciting games and boring games. I've watched baseball games that have had me on the edge of my seat, and I've watched others that have put me right to sleep. I'm sure I could get into soccer if I gave it a chance...but I probably won't.
