I echo, what's wrong with American football?
[/quote]You've got to understand that American Football is not very popular outside of the US. I love American Football but it's a rarity for anyone in England to like it. So it's pretty normal for someone here to avoid or dislike films based on a sport they don't like especially one as complex as this. I wouldn't want to watch a similar film about baseball. The majority of the US would say the same about a football (soccer) film.

Any Given Sunday is a good film but nothing special. I didn't think too much of it when I first saw it but the repeat viewing was much better. I could easily watch it again.
