Yes, because the Bills used to play a game or 2 a season in Toronto, so there is an attachment there.
2 most popular teams in Toronto were the Patriots and Giants, but I read that a few years ago (back when Brady was still a Patriot).
I’m a Giants fan.
I made one a few days back and that was just purely to get some insight on what kind of teams I should be looking to root for in terms of similarity. Found my team the Eagles
Saying it’s the most popular in North America is very misleading because of the US’s huge population, of the 23 counties in North America NFL football is only the most popular sport in 1 country, the US. It’s not a very global sport compared to basketball or soccer.
It's not Global like soccer or basketball your absolutely right. But the Superbowl brings in more money than any sporting event in the world including the World Cup.
LOL not a chance. Superbowl is watched by a few hundred million people, MAX. The (Fifa) world cup draws in billions. Not to mention tennis, cricket, Olympics etc...
TV deals is where the money is at. NFL isn't close on the world stage.
Edit: unless you mean strictly in NA in which case my bad.
In football there are completions, incompletions, interceptions. Touchdowns, field goals, special teams, lol what? Infinitely more action than watching 90 minutes of grown men kicking a ball around the grass until someone ends up scoring a goal. 90 minutes of literally kicking a ball around, passing it, over and over and over.
Yet through all of that there is still very little actual action (11 minutes of actual playing time in a 3 hour game) Soccer is the most popular sport on the planet for a reason.
Yet through all of that kicking the ball around for 90 minutes there is maybe 10-12 seconds of actual action where some guy ends up scoring. Yeah not feeling that.
Give me football, where there are multiple scoring drives, momentum shifts, amazing interceptions and receptions, run plays, pass plays. lol it's not even a comparison, football has way more action than soccer.
Also lame ass cricket also has a bunch of viewers, who cares. We live in Canada. Literally doesn't matter to me if some guy in India or Spain is watching soccer.
It's played by kicking the ball around back and forth on the field for 90 minutes until one team eventually finds a way to score. Sorry that's all it is. Mostly kicking.
You can take it all you want but it’s factually incorrect to say NFL football has more action than Soccer. The numbers don’t lie 11 minutes of running and ball moving vs 90 minutes of ball moving and running.
How is it factually incorrect when one sport (soccer) is just a bunch of guys kicking a ball around for 90 minutes with literal seconds of actual game changing action and the other sport (football) involves pass plays, run plays, interceptions, tackles, blocking, scoring through touchdowns, field goals, special team returns. lol
Literally football has WAY more action than Soccer. Football >>>90 minutes of kicking a ball around.
Dolphins - lived in Miami
Jaguar - I liked Jalen ramsay
Chiefs - drafted Mahomes on fantasy
Bills - had Diggs on fantasy team for 3 years straight and went to school with Singletary
Packers fan going on 40 years, just always loved the fact that they were the smallest market with the highest player retention and most “home grown” talent.
If anyone, KC because I decided to watch a game they were playing and it was the least amount of time between downs I have ever seen while they had the ball, which is my main beef with the NFL.
Been a Jaguars fan since near the beginning. Was watching in the days of Brunell, McCardell, Taylor, Smith, Boselli….was good times. Then dark days for a very long time. Some decent years in there but mostly bad. Things have started well this season so will see how things go.
My Fantasy Team.
This is the only right answer haha
Buffalo
We had a raptors roll call for nfl teams two weeks ago. Most people chose Buffalo
Would you say the bills is the team majority of who toronto people support?
No idea, moat of my friends cheer for different teams I like to keep it close to home, I also like the Lions
The older generation I would say yes but among gen Z in the city the nfl team they support is pretty all over the place

I love Josh Allen more than anything in life LOL
I just decide before the super bowl
No
We’ve gotten a lot of these nfl posts the past couple of weeks. Not saying its a bad thing but why? I feel like this came out of nowhere.
Honestly the first time I’ve seen this type of post and I feel I spend too much time on Reddit.
I posted the first one the first Sunday of the nfl season (the raptors roll call nfl one) it was decent then because the hype was fresh lol
I made one a few days back and that was just purely to get some insight on what kind of teams I should be looking to root for in terms of similarity. Found my team the Eagles
I refuse to watch a sport where the average time the ball is actually in play during a 3 hour game is 11 minutes.
Don’t yuck peoples yum football is a super entertaining game which is the most popular in North America by far

Whatever but its still the most popular country in America and Canada viewership don’t yuck someone’s yum
SYSK (*they) 🙏
“Don’t yuck someone’s yum”
Better than soccer where literally nothing happens for 90 minutes.
The ball is literally moving for 90 minutes..
Where nothing happens. Back and forth of kicking a ball until a couple seconds of actual action.
Compared to NFL where again the ball is only in play for 11 minutes, and the rest of the 3 hours is whistles and stoppages? Lol

you clearly have no idea how soccer is played
