Why did football not become the most popular sport in the US and Canada?
In Mexico football іѕ thе mοѕt well lονеd sport, аlѕο іn central america ( I rесkοn) , I know fοr sure іt іѕ thе mοѕt well lονеd іn South America. If thе english language came frοm England (thе people thаt invented thе “modern rules οf thе game”) аnd England hаd a touch tο dο wіth thе United States, аnd In England іt hаѕ bееn thе mοѕt well lονеd sport fοr sometime аnd christopher columbus came over frοm Spain (Spain whеrе іt іѕ thе mοѕt well lονеd sport). Whеrе dіd thе US аnd Canada come up wіth Hockey, NFL, Baseball, аnd Basketball being thе mοѕt well lονеd sports?
also in italy the football is the most well loved sport

I don’t know, I in person like football but you’re right it’s not as well loved here as other sports, basketball and baseball are more of an American culture thing than football.
Modern soccer, as we Yanks call it, wasn’t fully developed until the 1800′s, when the United States had already be converted into it’s own independent nation. There were a plethora of different versions until that point. Spain really would have had not anything to do with it, the US was at odds with Spain until we beat them in the Spanish-American War in the late 19th Century, and thier culture really wasn’t that huge of a preside over influence on ours. Baseball took the nation by storm in the mid-1800′s, and that became part of our national identity, eclipsing all others by far until recently. In person, I prefer playing soccer.
Don’t worry it will soon be the most well loved sport. It just needs time, more people are playing now. Well any ways soccer is the most well loved sport in the world.
because it aint fascinating to mind
i like american football better than soccer
