The other difference is that American culture lives and breathes football, right from pee-wee to middle and high school, to the state college team level.

It's easier to build a multi billion dollar business around something people have been exposed to since birth.

Most commenters here also dont realize that American football is completely irrelevant outside of USA.

Most other countries dont know the sport, apart from maybe Commonwealth who play rugby at schools.
