They’d have to have a penalty for using the words homo or fag too.

Whatever. The Browns will still never make the playoffs. By far the worst franchise in professional sports.

I used to love to watch football. Perfect sport of physical ability, strategy, and rules. But being a Christian, the constant barrage of Viagra ads, half-time so-called entertainment, playing “Hell’s Bells” on Sunday afternoon, and now the interference in Arizona’s anti-Christian laws. I’m not sure what I’ll do next season. Liberals ruin everything.
