That's not right at all. Although, the culture seems very different. The importance of match day and following your club all over, though thick and thin isn't the same. They can't really be compared.
And to be honest, American football is on for so long, and play is so interrupted that you're probably better off watching it on the tele.

Clearly American fans of any sport don't have the culture of travelling to away games for the obvious geographical reasons. But that doesn't mean they are any less passionate than we are about "soccer".
American fan culture is joining the tailgate party 3 hours before kickoff and for an hour afterwards. Cooking up food and sharing.it around. Playing corn hole or other games
I've no interest in Yanky football but have gone along to a pub on a good number of Tampa Bucs away games purely.as my.friends have and its a good 3 hour drinking session.
Florida is a very transient state (in fairness most big cities are) so has fans from.all clubs and sports. Go to any sports bar and they will have every game on and huddled in front of each large screen is a group of Steelers fans or Jets, Patriots and Cowboy fans.
One year I was in Boston one Sunday. City v Liverpool and the Banshee bar was rammed. We couldn't get in and drove a few miles and found a large sports bar, 20 mins into the game. The manager said he could put our game on until 1pm and then he was under contract to put every TV onto NFL games.
I pointed out there were like 9 games on and 30 TV's and by keeping one on our game would hardly deny any one their opportunity to watch their NFL game.of choice. He wouldn't budge. We watched the last 15 mins of the game via my phone. 6 of us.
The place was packed with fans from all clubs cheering their team on.
And college football????? They are even more crazier about that game! Can you imagine Manchester Uni playing Liverpool Uni at "soccer" and 80,000 turning up and the game was live on TV watched by hundreds of thousands?

Lived in the states for a few years playing ''soccer''. Yes sport, culture etc is different and we should celebrate that. Life would be boring if all the same. Went to Detroit lions, Tampa Bay, steelers...had great times there with american mates - loved the difference... and the college think with all the alumni...just very different. Most UK students think their education / colleges / Uni's (if they went) were a bit shit....so not much gushing enthusiasm when they leave...boat race aside for some.
