a good bourbon can be enjoyable
JD is not one of them
duck tacos and nachos are on the menu
as for the American football thing
it has it's roots collegiate football
two streams of the game, one kicking (soccer) and one carrying/running (rugby)
North American branches of the game started in the Ivy League schools
first documented match was between Harvard and McGill
ended in a 0-0 tie...so at that time it had the excitement level of soccer
but it was carried out under rugby rules
over the next few decades the game had some evolutions that distinguished it from Euro football
biggest change was down and distance, this gave the game it's stop and go cadence
and the concept of offense/defense, then later, the forward pass
Canadian football eventually adopted these changes, so our game looks quite similar
soccer fans don't like the game because of the constant stoppage
football fans appreciate that it's a balance of strategy and execution
there's a lot going on during the stoppages
and then you get to see the millionaires try to put it in action
it also transfers better to TV than any other major league sport

, Mayan Riviera. I try to get back when I can. Riviera Nayarit is great and popular. Like you, I find MX great as well; so much history, culture and a big country with lots to explore and something for everyone. Amazing fresh food and food culture.
