I used to play soccer as a kid and enjoyed it then, but watching the sport is incredibly boring to me, despite understanding the rules and even some of the subtleties of the game. I also find basketball unenjoyable to watch.

'American' football is my favorite sport. The combination of this incredibly brutal and physical game on the field (I don't think people outside the US understand just how big, tough, and fast these guys really are), and the chess game between coaches on offense and defense is so enthralling.

As so many others have pointed out, we might not like soccer that much, but the rest of the world is very quick to put down 'American' football.
