That's true
Although I'm not a big fan of regular football, either. I'd much rather watch basketball, but I can't see the NBA matches neither
(unless I'd pay for special TV)
Never really understood American football...but this is how I interpret it:
The 2 teams stand in front of each other.
They yell a bunch of nonsense.
They crush into each other.
The ball gets thrown from the back of the field towards the front.
The ball gets caught by a guy who just runs it over a line, while avoiding crazy people trying to ram him.
That's it
