The real reason it isn't a sport is because seriously who would play the American team ? Canada ? They would be te only two countries with teams

Michael phelps had an awful day so far

Good I'm sick of that guy. Hopefully other Americans win in his place.

Watched a great video of Sonnen talking Olympic wrestling. Kind of got me interested ut I had no idea who any of the guys were.

Anyone else see Gausha's bout ?

Just proving a point because the idea that football is not popular enough is a stupid notion, in reality it is a sport because its another gold for USA, remover how long baseball lasted as Olympic sport ?

No other country in the world cares about American Football. Cricket is more popular worldwide than AF.

Who gives a shit about the rest of the world? Is the most popular sport in the best country in the world. Over 1/3 of the country watched the Super Bowl last year.

Cricket was replaced by baseball years ago. The rest of the world never got the memo.

Wrong. Brits LOVE the NFL. Every single time the NFL goes to Wembley(which is about once a season since 2007) it's always sold out within minutes and those motherfuckers show up at 9pm local time and stay until midnight on a Sunday.

Though NFL Euro bombed. It's definitely not a popularity thing so much as a lack of countries to represent it. Kind of like how baseball wasn't an olympic sport until 1994. Though Baseball is no longer an olympic sport probably because it takes too damn long for a game.

No, they got the memo. It was just the UK who's fax machine was on the fritz.

i wouldn't say brits enjoyed the game but the NFL certainly has a niche following in the UK since we started getting it on TV in the mid 80's. personally, i love the game, but i don't know many other people who do.

most brits don't like it because it takes a while to grasp the rules if you've never watched before and because you spend more time watching adverts than action if you watch a live game. a common british reaction is to brand the players pussies for wearing all the padding and helmets when rugby players don't, that is through a lack of understanding in the differences in the way the game flows and the type of contact involved.

Longdon already screwing up.

In 2007 the Miami Dolphins went 1-15. During this stretch they were something like 0-7 when they played the Giants and that game sold 40,000 tickets in 90 minutes at Wembley. Yes, the NFL exports one game of the 256 games in a regular season and it sells out the stadium each time.

You guys are trppin thinking football is bigger than cricket, or ping pong for that matter. Gridiron football isn't even ain the top ten of popularity.

Where the fuck did I mention ping pong in any post?

Errol spence fights in Hour and 40 minutes lets go !!!!

You state football isn't popular enough to be a sport yet ping pong, archery and horse back riding are sports . Your argument is horse shit which shockingly surprises no one

Killer is right. If it was popular worldwide people would be interested in playing it and teams would be filled for events like the Olympics. The NFL selling tickets in Europe or Mexico doesn't mean much, just that people will pay to go see some novelty show that came through town.

Seriously, your argument is worse and half a minute to actually take the time know what you are talking would show you those sports are interesting enough internationally where people are actually interested in participating in them in great numbers. One country having tangible amount of interest in a sport when no others do is not a good reason for why a sport should be in the Olympics. And for your information baseball is still limited to Asia and the Americas when it comes to international interest which makes justification for their exclusion easy to understand, but to suggest that it is because it's another easy win for the US is another wrong assumption considering the US has only won at baseball one time.
