Football is truly America's pastime—having long ago surpassed baseball as the nation's most-watched and most-played sport. About 16.5 million viewers watch NFL games each week, according to ESPN, compared with 2.5 million who watch Major League baseball games on any given night, according to FanGraph.

More tellingly, more than 2 million youngsters play on youth football teams each year, according to Vocativ, an internet information site.
