22 grown men fighting over an inflated bit of pigskin  to be put between 2 upright sticks at one end or the other, and when that is done half the people cheer and then it is taken back to the middle of the field and the fight starts all over again.

Is that all there is to it?

Can you not accept other people have different interests to yours?

Well, the atmosphere can be electrifyling live. But I enjoy the comfort of watching it at home. 

My chosen sport is like golf, a challenge against your own skills and the discipline and control for improvement.

That is what there is to it.

But unlike golf or football and in fact most other sports there a much less chance of injury 🙂

Of course I can, and what makes you think differently?

The 22 on the field are getting exercise but what of the thousands of others who sit or stand and watch?

That was my question , what motivates them?

The chance if seeing an injury or death perhaps?
