Brits are stuck-up.
Never even gave the 3 American sports I mentioned a fair shake.
Their loss.
Soccer blows.
Honestly, I'd like to see how a bunch of de-padded Americans would fare in the 6 Nations. Not very well, I'd be inclined to wager.
Soccer does indeed "blow". No self-respecting Brit would admit to preferring it over Rugby. Though I think you'll find that the reason we never gave the three examples you mentioned a "fair shake" is because they're off-shoots of the games we created in the first place. Rugby - American Football. Rounders - Baseball. Net Ball - Basketball.
Though Cricket is probably the most tedious game known to mankind.

Actually you got it the wrong way around. Those that are stuck up are American's thinking that their "3 sports" are worth a damn outside the borders of the USA.
American football is doomed from the start because it requires so much gear to do. And before you say that you can just play it without the gear, then I say.. but then it is not American football but rugby with wussy weird rules.
Baseball is only popular in very few countries world wide since most other countries think it is a play ground game called round ball they played as 10 years olds and that goes on for hours and hours and hours and hours.. the American version of Cricket basically. And then there is the drug problem the sport has.. pretty much the only news about Baseball we get outside the US.
Basketball is quite popular outside the US, although with different rules. Fact is the non US players are often better as a team and individually than US players these days, which explains why countries like Argentina and Spain have won the world championship... and yes if the American NBA players were to play said championships then they would most likely win, but guess what... most American NBA players (and sadly some European now.. (/rude Gasol ) are so freaking lazy and unpatriotic that they actually refuse to play for their national teams because of their multi million dollar NBA contracts... pathetic. If a football player did that... gezzz the outcry there would be.
But it comes down to the following.....
Football only requires a round ball.. that is it.. it can be played anywhere at any time. The other sports requires much more gear and often requires large spaces to be played. So when kids or people in general can play football in the war torn streets of Mogadishu because they have a battered ball and a couple of markers for a goal, then they will have a damn hard time playing baseball, american football or basketball. That is why football > most other sports out there in popularity... and that is why Brits cant be bothered with the 3 big American sports... but remember it is not only the UK, but most of the world. So it is in fact the US that is not (like always one could say) being a team player with the rest of the world.. which is sad, since those in the US that do play football actually play quite well as a team and show that team spirit and national pride that is required.

That is very clearly incorrect.

All of the former US occupied territories have baseball as a national past time. It was the GIs who passed it on.
Ever wonder why India and Sri Lanka are big in Cricket?
