Americans don't tend to have the same emotional attachments to sports clubs that we tend to have in Europe. NFL franchises are unashamedly business-driven - going to an NFL game for a lot of Americans is no different to going to the cinema or any other source of entertainment. Sports teams in the UK and Europe have historically been much more community-focused. The commercialisation of the Premier League for example is a relatively recent thing when compared to the NFL.
