there's not even much to say for hockey. You can't do anything cool or fun with a stick and a puck. it's just a dumb sport.
I'm one of those guys that likes all the major american sports (i.e. american football, baseball, and basketball) but I think hockey and soccer are kinda cool in their own ways. I rarely watch either but I have and don't mind them.

I think what I like about american football, my favorite sport by far, is the sheer complexity and teamwork required relative to all other sports. That and people get hit, and hit hard. Really though, what everyone likes is so subjective and is influenced immensely by your upbringing. If I were born in Europe, I'd almost certainly be a huge soccer fan and football would probably be an afterthought.
