I'm a huge Football fan, it will never be bettered by any sport for me but I'm pretty open about watching new sports. Since moving to Canada I've really got into Hockey and NFL, it will never be as popular outside of North America tho as Football.

i replied to a comment that efforts to expand the league internationally have failed, that's not the case. again, every game played outside the usa has sold out.
