Ah.. so pro rata populations are OK for sports, but don't apply when talking about paying money and claiming to be the "world's givers"?? Nice to pick and choose

Basically football is an international sport with followers (and vested financial interests) in the billions. Nothing wrong with American football - as you say, it's a national sport. Trying to compare a country with less than 5% of world population to an international sport is pointless.
