The little subgenre of animals interrupting sports is entertaining to me because people often cheer for the animal, and honestly I can make better sense of one animal moving than a bunch of people all trying to accomplish different things with their bodies that fast. Never had trouble in daily life or driving, but watching most live sports seems to elude me. I think this is probably the same reason I'm so bad at first person shooters, and why baseball seems to be less difficult for me to comprehend. Too much different information too fast that I just don't know how to interpret.
I can say that the iOS game Retro Bowl helped me a little bit with football and understanding what the positions do, even if a real game is still difficult for me.
