For Americans, the top sport for them is football, which is hard for me to admit considering I'm a diehard baseball fan, and that used to be America's pastime. But things have changed now, and football is now supreme whether through their ratings or through their profits. Most of the credit has to go to the players for giving it their all, while putting out a great product, but some of it has to go to the Commissioner's of the NFL as well since they helped build the league from what it once was. It was good before, but now it's amazing!
Despite football being what it is, one thing I cannot stand is NFL preseason football. Everyone I know gets so excited for it because they missed football for six months, but then once you watch the game, they're unwatchable. None of the good players play, the product is sloppy, and there is risk for injury. I understand baseball can be boring to some people, but there's no reason why people should pay more attention to preseason football in the summer than baseball. For us baseball fans, this is when the games matter, so people should be paying more attention to the sport where the games count. I'm not saying NFL preseason games don't matter, but when the product is as bad as it is, there is no reason to watch it. It just sucks!
