There are many sports that we watch but the one that gets the most attention is football. Football has been shown so much attention that it has outgrown the rest of the sports. More people show up to football games than soccer, basketball or volleyball combined.

There really isn’t anything special about the sport, sure it may be entertaining but is it beneficial. In my opinion it’s very boring to watch, even if you understand it. Let’s be honest , who wants to watch people running 360 ft for about 2-3 hours?

The sport is really just guys tackling each other to get a ball across the field. I don’t really see the hype for it. Take soccer as an example , its guys and women kicking a ball around trying to score and gain a point running, scoring and using a ball.

Baseball per say also uses a ball, run around a field and score. They’re all the same just with different ways of playing. Football has been seen as one of the most played sports to this day.

Now a days all you see is people getting scholarships for football more than any other sports. This sport is far more superior than any other sport that exists. All sports deserve the credibility that football so easily receives.

Why not the other sports? Are the other sports not as good as football? Why is football seen better than every other sport?
