Personally I don't think we're best at everything. However, someone developed what is called American football in the 1800s. The developer called it football. So, you need to go rant at him. Also, odds are soccer didn't stand a chance of developing here because after the Revolutionary War, I think most of the new Americans stayed away from anything remotely British. One example, we have lots more coffee drinkers than tea drinkers.

America is a lot more than just football or soccer, we are a free country, we are the country that always helps other countries in need, we sacrifice our people to help other countries. How many people do you see leaving our wonderful country, compared to people of other countries trying to get into America? I rest my case!

That it supposed to be the one best thing about being human- we are all different!!! WE come in all shapes and sizes and colors and we are all better at one thing than the next, thats what makes the world go round!!! Each person should be proud of who they are, their heritage, their culture, their language, and their country. If someone not from your country has another name for a sport and it makes you that mad, you better go back to bed and get up when the PMS is over! Why don't you get mad at the drunk drivers that every country has that kill people daily? Or at the terrorists that have ruined so many lives in many, many countries? Find something better to B**** about. I Love The USA!!!!!

To explain this we'd have to look into the history books, how the culture developed, what americans value and how americans are educated based on those values.
Being proud is considered something positive in general in America.
Modesty/humbleness however is considered not very cool and too passive, weak etc.
Not fair to draw all americans over one line, but I'd say many americans do tend to offend people of many other cultures.
Personally I think the American values are rather positive in general, but sure there's room for improvement.

Relax woman. Its just a language difference. The name football is already given to an entirely different American sport. Here "american football" is just a more popular sport than soccer . Its no reason to get emotional.

lol i'm american and hell yeah i'm damn near proud of it. i think part of the reason we think we're the best is because a) most immigrants come here to lead successful lives. b) we're told constantly that this country is the best c) most of us are conceded anyway lol. but yeah i call football soccer because over if you call it football ppl will get confused and think you're talking about the other sport. but i plan to travel to europe withing the next year or so and when i go other there i plan to call soccer football because i think that when one is exposed to another culture he/she must try to have as much respect for it. so yeah that's pretty much it i think.

They have nothing to be proud about. I hate the word soccer.
In America, they have this retarded sport called football. It's when these losers run around with helmets on and try to get a ball. It's all the rage there.
