Why I do not like the American Football

Like everyone knows the last Saturday we went to the football game, Memphis Tigers Vs MT I really do not know what was the other team´s name, maybe “Memphis Tigers II” or “Mystery Team”.  Whatever it was not my first Football game, when I was in the University in Mexico, every game when our team played some friends invited me. I think, I went to a 3 games and every single game asked to my friend the rules of the game, I gave up about that, I never understood them.
This game is very popular in Monterrey City and all the universities close to the north of Mexico. I studied in the Tecnologico de Monterrey and the team; every year is the champion of the league. I think I was the only one who does not like the game in the whole university.
The reasons why I do not like the game are:
1.- Because, watch too many men running in leggings is like a little gay.
2.- Because, there are too many players in the field and on teams, and it is confusing to know who is every player.
3.- Because, it is so slow. Nobody moves, I know the quoted speech about football being a game of inches, but, why would they make the field so big then?
4.- Because, it is too popular.  It’s basically a religion.
5.- Because, a player’s role is too specialized.  No wonder there are too many people, there are so many different positions, and the kicker barely does anything.
6.- Because, there is wasted real time.  Change your lines.  Get set up.  Measure the ball distance.  Everyone get in a big pile.  Now everyone get up.  All that time adds up to really long boring games.
7.- Because, It is boring.  There’s never an intense break away or way to turn everything around, or if there is, it’s short lived. The defense is always on the defense and they have to stay behind the line until someone says go, then maybe they’ll get touch the ball.  Think about it, the object of the defense is to stop the game. BORING.
However I do not understand the rules of this game and every kind of sports, I do not like watch sports, I like playing them, but it is very boring take a sit and wait until the end of the game, doing nothing.

Ok those are my reasons, I hope nobody calls “the migra”.

  2. "MT" is "Middle Tennessee"
    I know the rule is so complicated, and the game goes really slow. I think watching soccer is better. But playing sports is the best excited !!
