But after all it's Japanese consoles that we've all been gaming on.

But American Football? There's got to be a unique story behind that.

Well, the football world cup took place in the USA in 1994 and due to that I had read some stories on how football isn't all that popular in the states, so based on that I always was curious about the big American sports (also because there are many American movies, usually leaning towards comedy, that deal with these sports). Basketball and ice hockey were common enough in Europe at the time, so I knew them already, but wasn't a fan of those.

Baseball and American football were the two unknowns and it was rare to even see them on TV at all, much less live broadcasts. So it took another four years or so until I had chance to get into those sports. Baseball turned out to be a snorefest, but American football was pretty cool and I kept watching it every week (the one game that was on TV).

I knew there was something like that!

So due to American ignorance of international Football Rol got into American football.
