I started with non sports in 1977 (Star Wars). I only collected sports for two years, 1980 and 81 football. I never did collect baseball and when I got back into cards a few years ago, I started a football set, then discovered the wide world of vintage baseball, and got interested in baseball history. I still don't care much about, or watch much, modern baseball.
If football had the same array of pre war cards that baseball does, I'd most likely collect those. As it is, there's only a couple of isolated issues. Football cards didn't really take off until Bowman started issuing them.
