also the sport flows continuously making it a very exciting spectator sport, the sport also involves a lot of flair and technical skill, to me there is not much flair in sports like NFL and rubgy
it IS a contact sport as shoulder to shoulder contact is allowed and strength has to be utilised to try to push others off the ball or prevent people from pushing you off the ball
another thing is even though it is a physical sport which demands a lot of fitness (running non-stop for 90 mins) you actually get to see people of different sizes unlike basket-"im pro just cause im 7ft"ball and american"im pro just cause im 300lbs"NFL, you get to see 5'5" playing against 6'5" players on the pitch

Yes when have you ever seen american football players as much skill in their 15 second plays than in a whole game of soccer?Soccer requires lots of skill and i guess why americans dont like football is cause the MLS sucks so bad  .Compared to american footballs 80-90 million viewers for the superbowl the world cup final had 1.1 billion people watching  !Just look at how much skill these players have compared to NFL players.
