Purely anecdotal but most americans I meet do not like sports they do not understand. Not having well defined rules and their enforcement are a big part of that. When I talk to people hate soccer and dig into why I get to reasons like: "I don't understand extra time, how do I know exactly what how long is left?", "Why was that guy carded but not the other?", or "Players are cheating by diving and there is no enough getting caught".

I agree somewhat but then why isnt pass interference reviewable?
