Beacuse there are enough other sports to get behind and enjoy?  Seriously where would football fit into the already crowded sport schedule?

American Football covers October through the end of January
Baseball covers  April through October
NASCAR  covers  Feb  through October
Hockey covers  from (don't know when) to June/July
Basketball covers from (don't know when) to June

So when would football fit into things?
Those sports do cover a lot of time...I always find it odd when the baseball season is underway, hockey is still going into the summer (an ice sport of all things) and basketball is still going. I guess that's why you don't see a whole lot of two-sport athletes (anybody remember Bo?). Then again, I'm not a hockey or a basketball fan. Soccer is pretty much a spring/summer/fall sport...and we have that covered with baseball. When will Brits "get" baseball? Or does "cricket" count as your baseball over there?
