I watched the Super Bowl the other night. I remain unimpressed. But not quite as unimpressed as Brian Appleyard:
American football is, basically, rugby for a legalistic, health and safety obsessed nation. It also seems rather girly in that teams dress up in shoulder pads and shiny, skin-tight trousers and compete for some kind of bowl. Never mind, it seems to make them happy and they are showing no sign of getting a grip a cricket.
