Haha...good question. They're just amazed that Americans don't go crazy over soccer so they try to make fun of American football...however, American football is simply a much, much more exciting game. I'm not a soccer hater, it's alright, but not nearly as exciting as football.

It's a curiosity...nothing more.
From their perspective...a pro ball player can be 21 and way over paid without ever going to college.
The thought that there is someone that plays a sport for free, goes to school full time and PAYS for it, and also works a job is preposterous...they don't do that here in Europe.
let alone...get out of school at the age of 24 or 25 and hope to make a draft....
Most of my players use school or work as an excuse NOT to come to practice...and the American football league in europe endorses that idea.

It's a feeble attempt to compete with American supremacy.
It seems to irritate the hell out of them that Americans don't care about soccer. It's amusing, really.

It could be just that they are interested in finding out things about America. They don't see American Football often so they are looking to find out about it. Just a thought.

Because I guess they're insulted that Americans insist on being different and not getting into lock-step with the rest of the world.

Because it has the same name "football" "futbol" whatever....they think they have exclusive rights to the name of it or something, im sure if we called it "handball" they wouldnt give two s**** about it.
