Oh, and...
Baseball's got tradition man. Football's only got fat guys that run into each other really hard... kinda like a frat party but with fake turf and referees :P

All tradition in baseball died with player strikes, salary caps, steriod fueled home-run contests and Pay-Rod.
As far as football players go, being fat frat boys... You must be concentrating on the offensive line
I am of the opinion that it takes more skill to catch a football while running full speed knowing full well some 200+ lbs. linebacker is about two steps away from slamming into you, fully intending to do you bodily harm.
Or to throw said ball reliably and accurately to a person running as fast as they can, intending to throw it to a place where that said running man is the only one who will be able to get it, while 7+ 200+ lbs. men are running at you, fully intending to do you bodily harm while all you have to defend you is a bunch of fat frat boys who can't use thier hands to grab on and hold them back.
Or to kick a ball 40+ yards to an area about 15' wide, 12' off the ground, while 12 200+ lbs men run at you, fully intending to do you bodily harm, again, you're defense being those fat frat boys.
Baseball, you get three tries to swing a stick at a ball. Theres a reason Baseball has a seven inning stretch, it's called tedium.
