it'll be flag football before long...We are witnessing the wussification of America.
Next watch for the Prius NASCAR series sponsored by Kotex.
Then you watch rugby and Australian Rules Football and you wonder how our noble man’s game of football became so chickified with new rules, pink shoes, pink whistles, sideline worthless info babes, and that god-awful female announcer on ESPN.
We’re ruining a great pastime with these senseless rules.
Might as well ban pitching in baseball and let them hit from a tee.
Ban plastic from football, all leather from the ball to the helmets, pads and shoes! Before MMA fighting replaced boxing, who would have thought it less dangerous to fight without Big heavy gloves?
If they make any such change, I’ll not watch another game.
I’m old, damn grumpy now, and I hate change.
I’ll keep America, you keep the change. -Hank Williams Jr.
it'll be flag football before long...Dear Dick,
Professional sports aint like it was when you were playing the game, 40 years ago we never would have Allowed Felons, Frauds, Thugs, Gang Bangers, and Wife Beaters to play Pro Sports, Now it is a Prerequisite, which is why I quit watching ALL PRO SPORTS over 20 years ago. Do the Game a favor and call for it’s outright ABOLITION. Help save America instead of whining about “how they want to change the game” that horse left the barn a long time ago to make a few extra bucks, this is just the natural progression of self serving self destruction. Enjoy the ride
...ban the Detroit Lions.
I tuned in a local sports talk show the other day and they were talking about this. I honestly thought they were doing some kind of comedy bit.
One proposal they talked about was after team A scored, team A would be given the ball on their own 30 yard line and the play set to 4th and 15.
I thought, is this supposed to be funny? I don’t get it.
Who is the pussy that is proposing this? Or, what is her name?
What crap!
You are right. It makes no sense.
The chickification of football is accelerating faster than Rush predicted.
Just go to Flag football and be done with it.
Video killed the radio star - Lawyers killed the NFL.
This is not a surprise.
My grand kids told me this week that in PE they have to wear helmets.
I said what do you play “well dodge ball”, they use a nurf ball.
We are turning all of our people to sissies.
Eventually the NFL will ban tackling and move to a “tag football” format. Only tagging can only be done with a limp wrist. You must tag gently and in a feminine manner. Tagging with a slap will earn your team a 15-yard penalty.
If there really is a problem with concussions, maybe they should make the guys where the concussion-proof helmets for kickoffs. They make look ridiculous, but they supposedly work.
Or maybe they could do kickoffs without helmets — that should keep people from thinking they are indestructible.
Let’s just have the coin toss, game over. Nobody gets hurt.
(Tossing Nerf coins would be even safer.)
There’s always the CFL - lots of kicking there!
