NBC Sports has a contract to show every single BPL match, top coverage I hear too.

Also for those saying it's a pathetic sport you need to get real, the only reason you Yanks refuse to play it is because you won't play anything you aren't the best at which limits you to 4 sports. Football is

-The most played in the world.
-The most attended in the world.
-The most watched in the world.

Nuff Said.

Football is a non-contact sport so how about talking about something like, oh I don't know maybe skill or talent, not just who can hit each other harder.


American football does take skill and talent. Fact of the matter is just because soccer is no-contact doesn't mean the point of a sport that is contact is simply, hit each other as hard as you can.


Why would you judge football on people diving or how much they can take pain when that's not what the sports about?

I don't. I simply said you're wrong about american football being "who can hit each other harder"

I could simplify soccer the same way. "American football is a contact sport so how about talking about something like, oh I don't know maybe skill or talent, not just who can run around and tap the ball with their foot"

It takes skill to learn how to ice skate. Mastering balance. Secondly, hand eye coordination with the stick and puck. Soccer isn't skill nor talent. It's just running around.


Let me take a sentence of yours and compare.

"Hand eye coordination with the stick and puck"

Maybe this? Hand eye coordination with the foot and ball?

And running, cause you do nothing else in the sport apart from running.

Is Ice Hockey just skating as well?

By the same logic, europe only plays soccer because they're the best at it, which limits it to 1 sport.

And just because a sport is watched and played the most, does that make it the best? What point are you trying to prove?

No the first person judged it on getting hit and taking pain.

So I said how about we compare skill/talent instead of something the games not about.

Every country plays it, it's kinda hard not to be the most played are you stupid? America is the only country that could play US football because "futbol players" could be beaten up by our 8th graders

A lot of people have talked about this but NBC sport released this add for the BPL to be showed in America. I live in Ireland and I find this hilarious:

Not just Europe, South America, it's growing in Asia, it's the biggest in Africa and whether you like it or not it's growing in North America.

FACT - American Footballers are just fat or fast people who can catch, the only person who needs ANY skill is the QB.
