@HistoryWJacob Just because American football scoring gives multiple points for a single touch down doesnโt means itโs a higher scoring sport ๐๐๐
Okay, since you asked, hereโs my American opinion.
Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons:
1. The Fake Injuries
Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty.
In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic.
Americans like toughness and grit.
2. Chance Goals
Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalieโs line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds.
In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance.
Americans like control.
3. Low Scoring
In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc
American like constant excitement.
@yoxics I donโt blame him at all I get it most people would do the same. I wouldnโt personally snitch but thatโs just who I am maybe Iโm a piece of shit
Joe Bartolozzi says he would snitch on a family member if he knew that they committed a crime
"if you knew your brother k*lled multiple people not in self defense.. I'm going you say something or im ratting"
"I thought for the first time ever 'I should applaud'"
@GaryLineker remembers what it was like to share the pitch with Diego Maradona ๐

@stm16_@EN0CX Because elderly white people in the US do not have a great track record around Black people and/or loud music. I know you're from a tiny little country where nothing exciting happens, but expanding your knowledge isn't hard with this device at your fingertips.
