Kinda sucks that we have evolved to the top of the food chain and are among the rarest of mammals in that we have this cool opposing thumb on our hands, yet most of the world worships a game that does not allow us to use that cool evolutionary item.

If the rest of the free world could afford helmets and shoulder pads there is no doubt they would be playing 'American' football imo.

LOL, I don't think it's a question of affording the equipment for a lot of people (e.g most of Europe). Is there some innate insecurity in the majority of Americans that compels them to troll football(soccer) threads?

About the age 8 being when the shift starts happening I disagree. There are kids that are way better and more athletic than others but they don't tend to ridicule the bad players until maybe 11-12 ish.

could be right. I didn't start playing soccer until I was 11 or 12. I know in little league and basketball, though, that we definitely started ribbing kids from an early age, but probably not too harshly until about puberty.

Hopefully yes, the rest of the world can manage just fine with football as it's number one sport without any american interference. Please stick to your niche sports that allow plenty of oppurtunity for ad breaks and rest for the 'athletes'.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool The rest of the world can't afford helmets or shoulder pads?? they are hardly that expensive. maybe some African countries thats about it who couldn't afford them in a large quantity. LOL @ no doubt too they would be playing "american football" Soccer is a great game FYI but it just gets bashed by people with no clue and it gets no coverage in America. Maybe you were joking or you just never been outside the states which i'm pretty sure of too.
