well apparently instead of drinking a beer while watching a game you'd rather play in a game while you are drinking.

I have only been exposed to a few minutes of the NFL this year when dining out at a couple of local restaurants that have tellies in their bar areas. But that is quite easy to ignore.

It would be more interesting to see these stats for professional vs. college sports.

When it comes to just whether or not people are a fan, 57% are fans of the NFL, 56% are fans of college football, according to the poll I linked earlier that came from the OP article.

The Football stats are misleading since they include College.

PRO Football is down 10% according to your link...

Fifty-seven percent of Americans said they were fans of professional football, down 10 percentage points from the previous time the question was asked, in December 2012. Support for most other sports, including college football, had not changed meaningfully during the same five-year span.​

I'm still amazed that enough people, outside the US, watch *cough* pro *snickersmirk* ping pong to make it #6 in the world.

And PRO football dropped a whopping 2% from 2013!

Though football retains its top spot, its popularity has slipped since peaking at 43% in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, it dipped slightly to 41% and dropped again to 39% in 2013 -- the last time the question was asked before the December 2017 poll and its 37% reading.​

But I do appreciate you confirming that college football is, indeed, "football!"

I just read the Pirates traded "Cutch" to the Giants. First Cole and now McCutchen. Here's to another two decades of rebuilding.
