Well it was named "The Official Football Thread!" Without any defining variable in the topic technically anything relating to football is on topic. Oh speaking of no one playing it outside America, American Football actually has spreading in worldwide popularity in the last few years. For example:
On an amatuer level the sport has become very popular in Mexico, Canada, and Japan. One of the most popular animes and mangas currently running in Japan is called Eyeshield 21, which is all American Football. The UK has a league (The BAFL, British American Football League). Similarly many South American countries play it on an amatuer level as well. I'm not saying it's even close to Soccer in international popularity (nor will it ever catch up), but to say it's completely unknown outside the US is false.
