football has always seemed like an outlier to me, in the sense that the overwhelming majority of adults I know watch and enjoy it but I know almost no one who played an organized version of it. Anecdotally, this doesn't seem to work the same way as other sports. It really is a sport made for television and gambling, which will probably continue to drive it for a very long time.

As an anecdote, the only sport made for gambling is horse racing.
Ever seen greyhound racing?
