All sports have narrative, not just the ones Dottewell likes.

You have to remember that most non-US sports are fluent and subtle. US sports are basically designed to fit in around ad-breaks, with constant stoppages, and are high scoring are over-burdened with statistics etc. to make them seem more interesting.

American sports lack any real narrative, because Americans don't want narrative*. They want crash, bang, ...[text shortened]... ception of WWF wrestling. This is the kind of narrative that Americans can just about grasp.)

Perhaps if soccer had some time outs those girls wouldn't need to take a stretcher ride when someone steps on their shoelace.

I have no opinion on that matter.

Everyone likes Pizza and Beer during the commercials, not just Americans.

Having played football for three years. Two of which in a team which the club called "the beer team" and one in a team which drew only one game in a whole season (all other games being lost), but was already the lowest team on the lowest ladder and couldn't go any lower...

I can safely say that football can be quite harsh on the thighs, shins and ankles.

Why on earth would you only drink beer during the commercials?
See, that's where you Americans have obviously got a lot of learning to do.

Anybody who's so hung up on watching ANY sports event that they would prefer to go dry instead of getting up and moistening the palet, is obviously lost to humanity.

You're an American. The 53rd state or something.

Why do so many people think the US is a deck of cards and has 52 states rather than 50?

The same reason they prefer small-f football to capital-f Football.
