Somewhat because they are not familiar with it, and it is slower with less coordination in its play. Football is very complex in both strategy and execution.

  That's easy! No forward passing. When executed properlly, the forward pass in American Football is the most beautiful thing in all of sports! There's just nothing that even come close. Except maybe a kickoff return for a TD.

Answer 9

Most likely a variety of cultural reasons. But I would suspect it is also because there are no big money networks promoting it. Why doesn't Europe like baseball?

  Stronger? Debatable, considering all of the protective gear they wear.
