Why is the NFL the best pro sport in the USA?

I like when guys get smashed in the head and then their unconscious alligator arms curl up by their chin.

You don’t get that kind of live, game action, long term, life changing injury anywhere but football.

That is my least favorite part and people that talk about the sport being pussified need to take a hit from one of these guys. You know the dudes that are too big, too fast, too athletic and too strong need to give them one of those kinds of hits.

At Christmas dinner my FiL (who never played football) made some comment about “what kid would ever turn down the option to play college football without NIL money”.

I did the Rob Riggle slowly raise my hand thing.

Knew damn well when we lost in the playoffs I was never going to take up any of the school’s offers to keep playing. I’d already broken enough bones. Football fucking hurts.

Threw up during pregame of every game I ever played. That didn’t happen with other sports. Even though I loved baseball more. (Tried to pitch in college, got cut)

It was brutal even and the HS level even back in the 80's. Guys lived in the weight rooms and worked out a lot. That is nothing compared to the prep these guys put in today. Not close to the same and they're now huge compared to back then, and getting bigger. It's freaking nuts.

Football is the perfect game for TV.

And while there are a few things being at a football game can provide that TV doesn't until the replays show it. Watching a game at home on the latest hi definition TV is a better seat than 99% of the seats at a stadium.

Those far as that last part goes. I haven't been to Sofi or the new stadium in Vegas. I hear both are pretty amazing.

Oh, one more thing. No matter how great a seat is at a game. I'll have to deal with traffic n hours of driving home when the game ends. At home, I'm already home.
drinks are cheaper too :happy:

Concessions are ridiculous everywhere, that's why I sit my lard butt in front of my laptop.

MLB is just too confusing with a lot of their rules... and the fact the strike zone isn't computerized is completely stupid. It catches on as a past time and to die hards but it's not a great game for the younger generations, especially where attention spans are dwindling.

NBA used to be great in the 90s and earlier era, when the arm bar and defense was pushed. Sadly now it's offense offense offense, with players getting better at shooting 3s and perimeter shots and officials flagging everything in the paint against the defense.

NHL never really was THAT popular...

Soccer is picking up now.

NFL despite all their dumbass safety moves is still a pretty brutal sport. It's prob. why it's the most appealing.
