Why_Americans_Choose_Football_Over_Futbol

Why Americans Choose Football Over Futbol Futbol Soccer, or should I say futbol, is by far the most popular sport in the world today. That is right, futbol, and not football, is viewed by literally billions of fanatics around the globe. The assessed number of people tuning in to witness the 1998 World Cup was an astounding 1.7 billion, eclipsing the figure of pro football’s Super Bowl. Soccer has made tremendous strides into many American homes, but the sport has yet to make it into hearts of the American public. The incapability of soccer to conform to American television, the insufficient amount of violence, and the lack of productivity on the scoreboard, are just a few of the reasons why soccer will never overthrow football. Though there are many reported cases of overseas murders and deaths among enraged soccer fans, the sport itself does not deliver the punch like American football. Soccer is incapable of dishing out three hours of pure bone crushing carnage and adrenaline the way football has done for well over a 1/2 century. American sport fans thrive on violence and bloodshed on the gridiron. The scarcity of malevolent acts has misled Americans to believe that soccer players are nothing short of pansies to the sporting industry.
