Wowee. Some Americans sure are stoopid. Very amusing to read, however.

The fact that they gave this bloke a job as a Professor sounds ridiculous but it certainly explains a lot when you see his expertise lies in "Religion and Philosophy". Sheesh.

That just made me laugh. How can someone say football is boring when he comes from a country that gave the world American football and baseball? Baseball in particular being so excrement that nobody else will participate in the "world series".

Yeah saw that. Astounding ignorance, it's gobsmacking that they published this in a respectable paper. Nice bit of light sexism in there too just to cap off a great argument!

Dunno if I dreamt this but wasn't Gridiron invented by an Englishman anyway?? Sure I read that somewhere.

One of the comments states that it was a satirical piece from elsewhere which the WSJ re-published without noting this. It certainly looks daft enough to be a satirical article!

Oops   In fairness though, it's hard to tell with the yanks!

I seem to remember reading that Gridiron was previously a lot more like Rugby with a more free-flowing game. Originally, they weren't allowed to make forward passes, either!

I'd imagine that a free-flowing game proved too difficult for the Yanks to follow so they had to change the rules to break things up a bit.
