1) Why is it called "football"--they barely even use their feet
2) Why are there so many rules?
3) This is a contact sport? Have you seen rugby?
All of these valid complaints and I can think of an equal number of idiocyncracies in Soccer or Cricket but it hasn't stopped me from enjoying the IPL or the World Cup.
Not sure if it's the unshakable Anglophilia or a new-found Amerophobia, but NFL matches are some of the hardest games to find India:
* Only TV source is some Army network broadcast to the US embassy (no bars, not even a satellite connection will help)
* Internet methods of watching a live game (NFL subscription or Slingbox) are underwhelming given the bandwidth limitations here
It's bad enough that at a 4:15PM kickoff is a 1:45AM kickoff in Bombay. India, why are you conspiring to make the Packers even more difficult to watch?
If anyone knows any practical solutions, please help. Thank you!
