American football to me sounds very messy and extremely overly complicated? Like sometimes they throw, sometimes they kick, there is some goal but not goal thing. And stopping all the time? Like why not immediately get up and start running away? Or just dripple the ball all the way across the field? What is the point anyway?

Both teams work within the same constraints with the goal of beating the other. Same as any other sport.

They stop after a play because that’s part of the rules of the game.

You could probably find a video or article and understand all this in a few minutes. You have four attempts (downs) to move the ball 10 yards or you lose possession. Nearly everything else makes sense with that context.
