why is football so overrated?

Football to me is the most overrated sport, its boring and its so lame that I dont understand why people so r-tard to watch it much less enjoy and waste money buying tickets and suveniers. I find it funny when the die hards get mad because they dont like hearing the truth.

I've tried watching it, but dont see a point of 30 300+lbs men running like idiots after a ball that at the end of the play it has only moved 1 yard and then get all exited like if what they just did was something amazing. Most of the play time they're just standing in front of each other ready for zumo, that only lasted 5 sec. And the superbowl sucks for all the hipe that it gets???????

Update:

Gay in red ( I mean guy), what?

I didn't make the team, because I didnt waste my time.

I never said I like soccer.

To horrid then then; I do live in america, and if you got to crack open a cold one to enjoy watching football, then it must not be that exiting.

To the strategic player; and you are a major contributor? Strategic games like chess are actually interesting.

Update 2:

J- if you get it rubin your face, from the time you are a kid you'll learn to like it. If you have 50k people cheering like crazy over a play that didn't acomplish anything and the news can't stop talking about it, then its overrated.

    This is just you're opinion, it doesn't mean it's overrated. But I do agree with you. I don't give a schitt about football and I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials.

    I don't think I've ever seen a QB, RB, WR, K, DB, Safety over 300lbs...so I'm not sure where that comes from. Anyway, is it overrated? I don't see how you can classify it that way. I mean, if people love it and with the ratings it has, then how can it be overrated?

    The tactics are what make the game exiting, if you can't understand strategic games (Are to dumb to win in Stratego) then you won't like football either.

    From your horrid English i suspect you do not live in the United States. Therefore you will never experience the feeling of the NFL and football in general. Nothing better then then cracking a cold one and watching football.

    If you don't like football you were obviously dropped as a child. Talk to your parents take out your anger on them not us.
