“We must always be very careful in trying to relate any country’s taste in sport to its national temperament. After all, the most varied of cultures all prefer soccer. But still, America’s increased devotion to football must mean something. Unlike our two other home-bred sports, baseball and basketball, which have developed appeal in many other countries, American football is just that –– American. Except for a bit over our northern border, in all the world it is played seriously only in the United States. That we alone love this sport so much and love it more and more — that must tell us something about ourselves.”
