2. The Fans: Loud, obnoxious, typically overweight, drunk and IQ's in the 65 - 71 range. It is extremely difficult to even have a conversation about football, especially if you disagree, with a football fan. It always ends up in an argument. They constantly question the coaching of teams and live too much in '82 when they were playing third string water boy and how they are so much better at this or that and if "things only would have been different" they would have made it pro. Yeah, what needed to be different is that you didn't suck... which says a lot seeing as it takes hardly any talent to play football. Which leads me into reason number three.
3. Talent, or lack there of: Requirements to play football: two arms, two legs, and... well that's it. The player that requires the most talent to play this game is the kicker, who probably sucked at soccer and settled on playing American Football. I suppose one could argue that the quarterback requires talent as well but still very little... the ball is shaped perfectly (like a torpedo) to be thrown significant distances accurately. The rest of the players can be overweight and just run into each other and end up in a huge homoerotic pile every 15 seconds not requiring much stamina or physical prowess to complete the task.

4. The amount of time it takes to play and watch the game is ridiculous. There seem to be ads with each change of possession, time-outs and play challenges, between quarters, the 2-minute warnings, after every score, half time, another set of challenges and time-outs, another 2-minute warning, a bunch of booth reviews, a couple of injuries so on and so forth. Not to mention make huge amounts of money for only playing 16 games a year.
5. Lingerie Football... this is just stupid and needs no further explanation.


I have a few comments to dispute your claims. first, one team member does not kick the ball. It is 2, the kicker and the punter. Second, soccer is for douches. Third, your description of the fans is 100% accurate, I can't dispute that. I actually fit that description perfectly. Finally, most of the football players are not fat they are pregnant, just like the young man in the picture.
