"It's American football that sucks"

Quote :

“You have a lot of attention on a foolish sport like American football and you waste a lot of talent, athletic talent, on a sport that is meant to kill each other, to injure each other. … You’re so narrow-minded, and then you want to compete against the world [in other sports] when you waste a lot of time, good talent on a sport that sucks.”

There's a kernel of truth there. When you line up side by side and don't get across the line first it's difficult to take. But I was thinking it was more about their training, coaching, selection, etc.

Opinions are like a$$holes! Everybody's got one! It's all about preference. We could say the same thing about rugby, cricket or soccer. What's the point?
