I am probably dead wrong but it's been a theory of mine that because their faces are obscured by helmets, and the play is essentially a series of mass scrums rather than one on one, people just don't connect to individual football players in the same way they connect to a baseball player who you see up front and close on TV or at the park, by himself for up to a couple of minutes at a time at bat, or mostly standing still in the field, or pitching.
I mean look at football cards especially modern ones -- on half of them you can barely make out who it is beneath the helmet. Also you can't really compare players statistically across positions the way you can baseball and basketball.
