Listen, soccer is blank verse. No beginning, no middle, no end, no episodes, and usually practically no score. It's fluid, with no pauses for reflection.

American Football is disciplined rhyming stanzas: poetry. It has chapters, verses, structure, exciting episodes, a beginning, a middle with a rest in it, an end. Its four quarters are like the seasons, so the game is like the year in brief. It teaches teamwork, specialization, and combat skills.

And it is American.

Very good. George Will once noted that football is the distinctly American combination of "violence punctuated by committee meetings."

I totally agree with you. I despise soccer. I love the REAL football. Not that Euro-crap.

Or was your post mean't for someone else and got me by mistake.
