This idea that people who don't enjoy watching Football are somehow incapable of understanding the nuances of a sport is ridiculous.  All sports have nuances and the sports fan who understands the nuances of something like Baseball or Basketball can certainly understand the nuances of Football.  That's a very weak excuse.

Also, I'm puzzled by the "Football doesn't have breaks" thing.  That's simply not true.  There are stoppage breaks quite often--and, no, actual stoppage time is usually twice as much as the really confusing "official" stoppage time.  More than that, it's one of the games where it's pretty much safe to go into the kitchen and make a sandwich without anything much happening.  Most World Cup scores came from set pieces.

It's just America self segregating itself, always was. And American football is embarrassing, bunch of wimps Rugby players laugh at.

That's pure ignorance on both fronts.
