“Americans love stats” seems fairly anecdotal and generalized. That’s strange to say considering our math abilities are subpar compared to other countries. Sort of ridiculous.
Anyway if I had to fathom a guess as to why other sports had more STAYING power (not to be confused with why we played other sports instead to begin with, this I don’t know)… it’s hard to monetize a game with no commercial breaks.
Not sure we love stats (no more or less than others anyway lmfao) but we sure do love rubbing some coins between our sheisty fingers. A US football game has at least an hour of commercials. Isn’t the only break in futbol at halftime?
