The United States is known for a high level of independence. There is the American English, American football and so on. This is why I think American football cannot be dethroned in the country. There is so much passion for the game and we thst stay far away, even if we do not enjoy watching the game, it is portrayed with high esteem in movies and it is always challenging.
Fantasy football has spread like wildfire in the last few years to the point where there’s someone in every office and every bar talking about his team. Gambling is half the reason the NFL exists, though no one likes to admit it.
This is true for all sports. Some people make a living from Fantasy football and gambling, especially in a world where education is no more lucrative.
Though soccer is the most popular sport worldwide, American football and Basketball remain a great passion for the American audience.
