Boxing is probably more popular world wide. I mean ali and tyson are VASTLY more famous then any american football player and it's not even close. American football is probably still more profitable despite it being very limited in terms of its international appeal.
The problem with this is football (soccer...) actually requires technical ability. A lot of americans are under the impression that american footballers are somehow the pinnacle of sporting ability. What they seem to forget is that the vast majority of the players have almost no technical abilty or mental acuity and are selected largely on their physical abilities. A lot of those players are probably to spastic to do a proper sport regardless of their size or speed. They may be a tall and as fast as ibrahimovic but to have his technical ability as well? You'll struggle to find many american sports stars with that combination. Not to mention that american football doesn't even select for things like stamina, they run about 0.19 miles in a match, which is nothing compared to other sports.Last edited by eli porter; 12-27-2012, 11:55 AM.Comment
