Awesome post, I disagree with your thesis though!
I think there are those that appreciate football just as you do (I am one of those people). I can watch any game and find a way for it to be exciting. Good offense, good defense, bad offense, bad defense, both teams terrible, I enjoy it all.
I've never had a fascination with any European sport, so it's hard to fathom liking something that the majority of the public knows nothing about. Living in the United States, you will see people from various different fanbases, and its easy to find someone to strike up a conversation with (most of the time). It would be strange to not have that. So I can definitely understand the 'mysticism' for you. It's like a hidden secret gem that nobody else enjoys, and you are lucky to have it.
Anyways, I think the majority of people in North America aren't as in love with the game as you may imagine because there are many other sports as well. In North America we are loaded with so many different outlets that people hardly ever get invested into one single sport. I am the only person I know who follows football only. Other friends of mine have a football team, basketball team, hockey team and even a baseball team. So many different things to be invested in, that they cannot love football as much as some of us other people do. In conclusion, I think there are fans of both categories out there.
Do you like any other North American sports?
What are your opinions on a franchise in London?
