    I’m shitting on it.

    It’s slow, has a ton of advertising ( probably more than actual play time), causes CTE, wastes money at colleges that would be better spent elsewhere, covers up sex crimes etc.

    There are a ton of more interesting / exciting sports than American football.

    I’ll still attend a gathering today but only because I like food and socializing whether the game is on isn’t really relevant to me .

      Don’t tell the other Americans I said this, but American football is objectively just not a good sport. I follow it because it has cultural and social relevance here, but there’s at least a dozen sports I can think of off the top of my head that are objectively better for viewing. The NFL is only popular because it’s the best sport for advertisers.
