Notes -
Does this mean football (not handegg) is considered high-brow in America?
Yes. There are professional Soccer leagues in America. I'd bet money that the number of blue-collar workers attending any of their games is effectively zero.
At least a few years ago, there were a number of blue collar soccer fans at the last MLS game I attended, but they were Spanish speakers. We had fun chanting in both languages. That doesn't seem true for the best attended US clubs (Seattle and Portland), and probably owed something to them playing in a stadium designed for other sports (much too large for the crowd).

I dunno. Playing soccer is a rich person thing, but professional soccer fans are often hispanic working class.
