Football is our most popular sport, actually :)

It’s not homoerotic enough.

No one wants to watch twinks kick a ball back and forth for 120 minutes

that's why
also it's really boring
and i watch baseball

Reminder that the USMNT's C-team went 1-1 in Paris against the World champions.

Requires too much skill

It's seen as just a kids' activity here.

but you can watch that with football? one thing I hate about all american sports are the speed; sooo many timeouts so many delays of play

We dont watch it but every american kid grows up playing it. Very fun to play but boring to watch.

We don't like watching our country being represented by dozens of niggers. Also soccer is seen as a children's sport, that's why the term "soccer mom" exists

>No one wants to watch it
And by no one you mean the rest of the world

>We don't like watching our country being represented by dozens of niggers
So it's a racism thing, I see

you can say that to absolutely any sport really

there are enough niggers in american football. and basketball is exclusivly black. real football or soccer is pretty varried.

nobody cares about your shitry football
keep it to yourselves, how about that instead

I said nothing about the sport though, just mocking how your glorify being fat, fattie.

Because cant sell merch. like trading card, shirts etc etc. they definition of sport is a show. look at the super bowl

Thats not why it isnt popular here you brainwashed dumbass. Jesus christ

come on user this is Jow Forums. what is a better Jow Forums themed sport? where you compete globally in a teamsport enjoyed by all ages. remember the banter when we humiliated the brazilians 7:1 a few years back? shit like that makes it magic. fact is the world likes soccer the most, it is therefore the best vehicle for sport based banter.

>twinks kick a ball back and forth for 120 minutes
Hot

what of course they can do that. they do that here too.

Who wouldn’t want to watch that

What does basketball have to do with this thread?

Basketball is pretty much also mostly played in America man

Why do you care?

>sooo many timeouts so many delays of play

americans cant handle cardio for longer than a few minutes

I kinda like the pace of football. It builds tension, when a team is trying for a big olay to save them, time slows down and you have time to think of exactly what needs to happen and what is worst case. Everyone knows and you can see the intensity in the players eyes, then they snap the ball and see if they can pull it off. Idk, i love it. Most penalties can suck a duck though. There is holding on every play andnthe refs pick and choose when to call it, that is pure bs.

>implying basketball is the only sport with majority nigers

>There is holding on every play andnthe refs pick and choose when to call it

When it balantly keeps the defender from penetrating , its different pulling from some guys Jersey than just locking your hands on his shoulder pads while overpowering him

During the super bowl todd gury finally broke a huge run to get th rams offense in a great spot, but a ref called a holding penalty on an offensive lineman on the complete opposite of the field basically, those two players had no bearing on the play and it wasnt over the top holding either. That just pissed me off so much.

Fuck does it has to do with me asking the kraut why does he cares about gringos watching futbol

If they actually cared they would probably be great too, such a shame. Maybe it will change by the time they are gonna host the world cup in 2026

We are not good at it so we dont care about it
We dont care about it so there isnt much money in it
We are not good at it because there isnt much money in it

All of our good athletes have better sports to go to so why waste their talents on a sport that none of their family or friends care about when they can go into a bigger sport and make a lot more money
Soccer is also just really, REALLY boring. Not even memeing. I would far prefer to watch basketball or football over it any day of the week (yes, even with the comercials). There is something especially soulcrushing about watching 90+ minutes of no scoring pussy footing that actively encourages you to feign injuries in the most ridiculous manner possible.

You clearly don't know shit about the sport and just repeat boomer-tier memes.

Based and redpilled brother
I grew up in a little town south of the Kentucky border... things were simple. You tended the farm, raised the herd... and if anyone gave you shit? Son, you beat the fucker down. You were a man. And under that hot alabama sun you learned the values of christ, america, and manhood- the missisipi trio as my pop called it... may god bless his soul...
And a man like me? Well when we weren’t out hunting or at the bar? We watched sport. None of that pussy european shit- real sport, arizona sport. I’d get back home... hang up my duster, cold beer, my girl cooking some fineeee BBQ... and id watch muscular, toned black men. Sometimes they’d collide into each other, sometimes bounce a ball... but they were always fine specimens. I’d watch those darkies sweat and toil for hours... and I’ll admit my loins stirred more than once... called it the texas rise, heh... and when I watched those guys play, my mind... wandered. I imagined them taking my girl... like animals- hoo boy did that get me goin! I remember, in the 12th ad break of the NFL playoffs powered by mcdonalds I’m loving it, right after the arbys presents: the danger kick! I noticed my missus watching those stallions on screen... stroking that pussy of hers. And I tell you what... without a word I drove her down the city, philidelphia- my home- and she made love to every nigger in sight. I milked my johnson more than ever that night. So when you pussy europeans talk about sport... remember what REAL men play

I do agree the holding rule should be revised , make it a fault only when it illegally restricts the defender forward motion not when its 2 players struggling or something

imagine having a literal cuck fantasy saved

>Implying they wont btfo us

this

Kek but there's more niggers in football than handegg.

We're used to instant gratification. Baseball and football are much more complicated, hockey is similar but much more violent, and basketball is much faster pace. I think the simplicity and lack of scoring put me off. The reason we suck at it is because most people with the cardio endurance and spacial reasoning to excel at it are playing sports that pay them more money. On a side note it's an extremely popular "entry level" sport here, those who grasp the concept and want to continue playing sports for the most part switch to something else. I'm willing to bet that 90% of the US posters here were on a "team" at one point.

another day another "why does/doesn't america ______" thread

>Why isn't football a popular sport in America?
It's popular enough. The fact that that lack the fanatism of the rest of the world is a good thing. Football is entertaining but transforms followers into Macacos.

We defeated them last year, we can do it again

Because Americans are too fat and lazy. The superbowl, in 3 hours of time, they only actually run 15 mins. I mean..

Oh... You meant U.S not the continent, fuck it anyways.

yeah, that's America you dunce

Americans that fall for the "soccer Is gay lol" meme are annoying, but euros and other making threads about "lol why americans dont watch football plz join us :(" are even worse, some people dont like it/ care about it , deal with it

not enough bears

I'm glad it isn't. Footballs fans are already shit as they they don't need more attention.

oh shit, oh fuck. Here I thought maybe soccer could become bigger after the world cup

Everyone i know that i grew up with, latin, white, black, india etc we all played soccer everyday. Kinda strange how it isnt more popular here especially since america is half mexican now, but w e i dont need a huge american team i can just enjoy brazils beautiful team and root for them

Soccer is pretty fucking boring besides the world cup and champions league. Hockey is much more exciting, Basketball is a lot more fun to play and has better stars, Baseball is a much better past time and great for sipping brews and snacking while watching and Football is dominant in literally every small town so it isn't going anywhere. Why would Americans willingly watch a more boring sport when they have half a dozen better ones to pick from?

Because americans are dumb

I don't understand why their mexicans don't play it. Sports are a cultural meme, but have milions of latinos.

Mexicans in the US are too busy playing FIFA to play real soccer

Who the fuck qualifies a sport in terms of what you can fucking EAT while watching it? If anything, that you can concentrate on what you eat speaks about how boring the sport is.

It's meant as background noise while you do other shit. It's relaxing and gives you something to do

I agree hockey is often more exciting, but yea the WC is still great fun. Basketball seems pretty dynamic too but i dont watch.

But american football and baseball are objectively trash, there's no room for player creativity, and its being taken way to seriously

Nigga you can literally play background noise while drinking , if the one positive aspect of a sport can be replaced by serching "chill playlist" at Spotify then its a shit sport

Basketball is good. And thats because of the black guys.

How boring would it be if lebron was white

baseball is a such a meme

American football Is all about strategy, if you are expecting it to be fast paced then no it Will never be entretaining for you and i get Is harder for someone to get into it later in life unlike with say basketball

Our girls are good but males play other sports.

I like both football and soccer. Basketball is the worst sport in the world though. Whenever I watch basketball the same thing happens over and over again on a loop. One team gets the ball, runs over to the other side of the court, they pass it around until someone wants to go for the layup, then the ref blows his whistle and they throw free throws instead. I have never seen a game of basketball that wasn't this exact process for 90% of the game.

Literally this. Leafs are so dumb Jesus Christ.

The FIFA games are all developed by US studios because Europeans can't be trusted not to give their home country/team an unfair advantage.

Soccer is a very poorly balanced game. Desperately needs a revision to the rules.

It's like pre-patch Destiny

Historical accident; America's geographic isolation and size allowed us to develop our own unique sporting culture.

Football is certainly on the rise though.

How? Soccer is the least dysfunctional major sport by far. Football and basketball are 99% refball. Soccer at least has VAR on all the time to prevent referee mistakes.

Too many soccer matches end in a draw
Soccer fucking sucks

But youve gotten lots of inmigrants from soccer playing nations, one would think they would make it More popular, it happens with food , drinks and festivities, maybe not enough to make it the most popular sport but enough for the USA to be big at international soccer

>worse than Portugal.
Why thank you.

Nah, most other Hispanics lose interest and never play.
Source-Chicanoid

if you've ever been on /sp/ both sides are fucking annoying 2bh.

Like I said it's getting bigger. Part of the problem is the MLS is such a ridiculous meme that people can't take it seriously. But I run in upper middle class circles and interest in soccer is significant, although almost everybody has an EPL team they follow

yeah it is getting more popular. just not popular enough. the other major leagues are a huge business machines generating big bucks and they established their turf long time ago and it is hard to compete with them. most sports fans are dumb and they watch whatever is the most popular according to the tv ratings.

It looks fucking gay
