Because rugby and cricket are stupid! Look how retarded your own games are before you go ahead and make fun of ours.

cricket is the biggest excuse to get drunk for five days there has ever been, thats why the british like it so much, at least, thats what my british friends tell me. Baseball is like that but condensed into an afternoon, and probably why we're the current empire, since the brits drank theirs away.
rugby is an interesting game but football is like two coaches playing chess with giant musle bound pieces, europeans should take more time to learn what football is before complaining that 'the ball only moves for 20 minutes in a period of 3 hours'

Yes; well I like Americans and meet with them every week; but to be honest, they are a bit weak on the sports side of things.
So I can agree with ye there.
I think they must spend too much time in combat - you know, wrestling, guns, hunting, fishing, campin' - all that sort of thing.
And that footy game of theirs ain't not even football, Man!!
Not only that but it's just as well they now have basketball, because that footy game is so darn boring and slow that most retired footiers finish up with early heart attacks and diabetes through lack of fitness!!
It's simply 'dead' that game!! For 8 secs play time you get 60 secs huddlin' and wanderin' back to line!!
I don't know how audiences turn up and pay!!
And Cowboy, you couldn't be more wrong. It's based on personal college footy experience that I make these assessments!!
TRY AUSTRALIAN FOOTY, WHY DON'T YA?!
... Live, fast, fitness oriented and spectacular high flying game, Man!
You need to experience that game!
Baseball:
Well, even our dead ol' game o' cricket is better than playin' that game!!
At least you get to keep batting for a while, not just 1 or 2 swings at a ball!!
an it's scorin' is as poor as soccer Man!
... hardly a run on the board!
If you winked, you might miss the only home run in the game!!
You get more hitting action playin' Golf!!
But, I gotta admit you Yanks didn't pull such a bad one off with that Basketball game, Man!
That's alright that game ... and blokes like Jordan, MAn, they put it on the map!!
Now that I've beaten your games apart verbally, How would you like to try a much more involved and exciting team game that I invented some years back??
Oh! It's a Good One all right; don't worry!
It's called, "Grappleball" or "Grabbaball"
Of course you never heard of it, You silly Billy!
I invented it only in local suburbs here in Australia ... But they love it.
The youth brand it, "A wicked game"!!!!
It's just that I'm getting too old to easily run it; so it ain't getting around much!!!

I'll agree with you about baseball -- bunch of overpaid cry babies playing a game that is as exciting as watching paint dry. Football -- holy crap! That is America's game! The rules are pretty complex, which is why many people don't like it. If you ever get the opportunity to attend a college or profession game you would begin to see the appeal. The strict rule-play and timed game are the leading factors of the game. Structure, warriors, battle, defeat and victory. Very violent yet contained and very few players are injured. Hard to describe but VERY easy to get caught up in a live event. I highly recommend it.
PS -- soccer is a f@g game.

They do it to fulfill their need to be the best. Note however that soon they will no longer be the best at their own sports. Spain won the World Basketball Championship this year so the americans are just losing ground

heres a good golf joke...
A grouchy American hires a caddie for his round at the Old Course. By the time they reach the 16th hole, the American is out of golf balls and out of patience with the advice from his Scottish caddie.
"You must be the worst caddie in the world,"the American shouts.
"I don't think so," the caddie says. "That would be too much of a coincidence, now wouldn't it?"

Rugby and Cricket are "gay" sports. Not manly at all.
