@GSpellchecker It's like watching a Fast and Furious film with all the gear shifting...

@DavidFurones_ Another reason that's a bad idea is that it's a World sport (I understand this may confuse Americans) and has viewers around the world. American kick-off times don't work for everyone. Moving it each time means that everyone gets a share of good kick-off times.

@LangmanVince It's interesting that you say someone with speed and agility has what it takes to be a wide receiver. There are probably other players with speed and agility like Mbappe but they're not the footballer that he is. It takes more than that. In fact it doesn't even require that.

@Rob_ThaBuilder nice payday for the women, but most of those men will probably earn far more than this with their club teams. (3 of 3)

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@Rob_ThaBuilder women, but that's because the level of opponents the men play is far harder. The women were trailblazers in the women's game when other countries weren't interested, but the men are playing catch up in the men's game. I imagine their share of this prize money is a... (2 of 3)

@Matthew_Sean96 This may be true, but for most of us non-North Americans, when our sports are over we STILL don't talk about American Football. At least you talk about ours a bit.

@SrgtSmoothBrain @boundtides @IronDuk05186191 You might be in the minority then as a lot of the 4th of July posts I'm seeing do mention England/Britain.

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@boundtides @IronDuk05186191 If we're talking about living rent-free in someone's head, don't American's have a celebration every 4th of July? That's the British living rent free in American minds every year!

@ERecazner77 @EricBalchunas Yeah, in fairness Basketball is probably more popular than Rugby. But from a viewership point of view I think Cricket is more or equally popular globally, but as you say it's just very popular in a few regions.
Due to it's Olympic nature, Basketball national teams are important.

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ERecazner77 @EricBalchunas No, they're not on the same coverage level as football, but they are sports where national teams are very important. Overall still many times more global viewers than things like the Super Bowl. Although I suppose globally American Football, Basketball, etc. are niche sports.

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@LTSWPN Do American's care about 1st of October or 12th of June?

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ERecazner77 @EricBalchunas The only sport on the planet where national teams are important? What about Rugby and Cricket?

@ssrbolt @bobanobets Honestly I think it's tough. I don't think there was an malice in it, I think it was just unfortunate. That said I think he was technically behind him and caught him in a bad place with his studs. I think the lunge was unnecessary, so I can understand the red. But I'm no expert.

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ssrbolt @bobanobets I think I have previously...

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ssrbolt @bobanobets No you're right, I did assume he was American because a lot of Americans have said it. My point was it doesn't change the point I was making as it wasn't contingent on him being American.

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ssrbolt @bobanobets And do you complain when people do it the other other way around?
Do you complain when people ask Stan Collymore if he's ever played sport?

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ssrbolt @bobanobets Seems only fair, no?
Anyway, I didn't actually say he was American did I? I just replied to him and said that Americans said this.

[Aron Jasper @GoogalyMoogaly]

@ssrbolt @bobanobets He's North American...
And he's no the only person to have suggested this.
If people can group Europeans together without bothering to be specific, why can't I do the same? There seem to be lots in North America that don't know the difference between British and English.
