Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The game is just, everybody talks about baseball, but I really think football probably has a little bit more American feeling than anything.
Baseball has long been a national pastime that many Americans have cherished.
While American football is very structured and linear and static - where everyone lines up, and there's a burst, and it happens - soccer is like the cosmos. It's like constellations. It's bodies moving in space. It's a very spherical game.
Baseball is the favorite American sport because it's so slow. Any idiot can follow it. And just about any idiot can play it.
The sentimentality of baseball is very deeply rooted in the American baseball fan. It is the one sport that is transmitted from fathers to sons.
I love baseball. And American Football, too. But not rugby.
Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?
I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
I don't like American football. I think it's boring and ridiculous and predictable. But baseball is very beautiful. It's played on a diamond.
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.
