You might not personally enjoy American football, but if you find it boring I have to wonder if perhaps you don't have a full grasp of the game? Would you not agree that a game like this is ideal in terms of what can be done with photography, videography and storytelling? I think about the well-known picture of Chuck Bednarik standing over Frank Gifford, or the limited video from the Ice Bowl and can only wonder what those shots might have looked like with better equipment.
Porque no los dos? Hagler vs Hearns with modern video equipment would be even more mind-blowing. My point above was simply that why denigrate American Football, when really any of these high-action sports would likely benefit from advances in video?
