American football is blood-chilling to me as a flag-humping bootlicking spectacle of performative allegiance. It's no wonder Nolan used an American football game and all of its symbolic "wholesomeness" as ground zero for his "scary leftist man with bomb" story beat.
There's an alternate universe where Al Qaeda flew a plane into the Superbowl and America instantly nuked the world in retaliation
I reckon we could probably collapse the US simply by forcing US football teams to play against international rugby teams in half/half games.
you are significantly more likely to be badly injured playing american football than rugby. The only advantage of the american football game is that it lacks the homoerotic rapey nature of British rugby culture (to be clear the issue isn't that the culture is gay it's that it's very weird and bad about consent)
bwwwwaaaaammmmm
not the wholesome football game!
