I felt basically the same way about football (my sports were soccer, volleyball, softball, and badminton), but when D got involved in football I changed my mind. There is a lot more in football than meets the eye, even the eye of the informed fan. There is more need in football than in any other sport for the individual to learn to act as part of a team, to sublimate personal glory for team benefit, to learn self-sacrifice for the sake of the greater good. Those who think it is just brute force are simply ignorant. It is, I think it's safe to say, the most intellectual team sport going, by which I mean it's the one requiring the most simultaneous intellectual effort by the most number of players at the same time.
