I'm in the UK. I played for 12 years, watched the Fridge roll over the goal line in the 1st Superbowl I saw and haven't missed one in 37 years. Football has actually been pretty big in Europe for ages, particularly in Germany where there's a thriving league. In the UK it's still played in Universities and the International Series sells out every year. We're not quite the hick backwater you think bud.
Not at all.
I was talking about myself as well.
UK and Germany have the biggest scenes, but the majority of the population are casual to no knowledge .
The statement is factual and doesn't put anyone in a "hick" category.
