At least in the CFL, you guys have a moving offensive line. It mildly mitigates the hurry-up-and wait tedium.
Soccer reminds me of a herd of gnus on the African plain. The only reason soccer is popular is because all you need is an empty milk jug to play. All the 3rd world countries have no choice. They cant afford pads & helmets.
