I used to watch American football years ago on t.v. and I usually end up watching the odd Superbowl Final.
Favourite team (for no good reason) Washington Redskins.

One thing though. Why are the Superbowl winners called The World Champions when the only participants...are American??

i've often wondered about that, but americans do that with every sport they play......maybe they should call it the interstellar galactic championship....

well of course it is, and that's why there's so many fans outside the us....as opposed to a couple of bilion football fans....

I like American football more. I think its just a cultural thing. I wonder why it was ever called football since only a very small portion of the game includes kicking the ball, and there was already a sport called football in existence. Its like me saying "i think I'm gonna name my polka band Rage against the Machine" and actually getting awaywith it.

Well. 1. Players from all over (different countries) play in the league.
and 2. If you put a team together it would get ran the **** over.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
