[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 874917, member: 45598"] I can't stand American football to be honest, thought a super bowl with the Patriots in it in 2015 (I think) was ok and was informed that was one of the best games ever so it's not for. As someone who needs to support a team and follow individual players to get into it it really doesn't appeal to me to have huge squads with most players doing very niche thing, the stop start nature of it certainly doesn't help either. Rugby has a huge advantage because I grew up on it and understand it intimately but the fact I can throw on almost any game from any top league and have at least one player that I enjoy watching play helps hugely. I prefer Basketball to American Football as well for similar reasons, although I've never played it, as well as it being more of a showcase for world class athletes whereas the best athletes in the NFL have few opportunities to impose themselves on a game from the point of view of someone who's never played it. The smaller squads leading to bigger personalities in basketball help a lot as well, Cleveland, Boston, Minnesota, Houston and OKC will be intriguing to watch this season with plenty of big name players playing together without being contenders due to Golden State's dominance.
