I absolutely do not understand the discussionsabout soccer, football and american football. There is actually nothing to talk about IMHO. You like it or you like it not. I don't think there is to much politics involved. And then... what if the USA suddenly favoured football (the european one)? With their big budgets and their unmatched youth sport promotion they would very soon be THE place for football. It would be like icehockey. And since I am very proud to live in Europe and be part of the strongest leagues in the world, I am enjoying it as long as it lasts.
