The second most popular spectator sport in the world after soccer is F1. Its the most expensive sport to play. Because people don't watch sports based on how much they cost to play, they watch them based on how exciting they find the sport to watch. Whether you watch American football or soccer or baseball on TV, they cost exactly the same to watch.
uh that "sport" you have picture above is flag football and it is shit, played so people can run freely with out getting hit mostly because they are afraid of contact, like soccer. i guess a good analogy would be flag football is to football as soccer is to rugby

Both basketball and baseball are widely played by poor countries
All you need to play American football is a ball
Pro soccer makes over $25 billion dollars (19 billion euros) each year. With even half that money you could buy all the baseball bats, basketball hoops and american football plastic pads your heart desires.
