I will sometime go to Marshalls and buy the oddball shorts at the end of the season off the clearance rack that they couldn't sell because people that shopped there just couldn't handle the awesome. I was sad that some hazard orange ones and some and purple courduroy shorts weren't my size one time. The yellow denim ones were though. :twisted:

You should change your location away from "Spain" before doing your American impression.
I don't know about BBQ, but I'm pretty sure football and beer are rather popular in Spain. Football is like a religion in all spanish speaking countries

Spanish&Latin American football is football much more literally than American football

I hate both sports but I have to say I approve more of American football solely on the fact that it seems to cause fewer riots. Well, that and no vuvuzelas.

I didn't say that I dislike American football. It's the more manly sport, though from what I've heard, rugby and Australian rules football are more rough and physically demanding than American football, so there's that. And they're not overglorified/commercialized, ie Superbowl

No helmets&protective equipment, fuck yeah :)

I mostly respect ice hockey and American football more than football because I like to see big men wearing heavy equipment colliding violently. And fist fights in hockey's case. So maybe I'm not the best judge when it comes to team sports.
Anyway I just stated the obvious: it's more popular on a global scale and that the term "football" is more describing when talking about the non-American version. I don't see how carrying an egg shaped object=football.

Oh and vuvuzelas are only used in (South) Africa. No one even knew about their existance before South Africa held the event.
