Why do Americans think soccer is boring..

…when the average “football” game has about 15 minutes of actual play over three hours?

The players spend more time than that chest-bumping 😂

I think it might have something to do with its simplicity. You just need a ball and a field to play it. There's not enough gear involved. Plus, we have hockey, which is kinda like soccer but much faster and much more gear required to play, as well as that extra skill of ice skating on razor blades

All jokes aside, i think i might be right. ..although it doesn't explain why basketball is so popular. 🤔 maybe the court counts as gear?
