The U.S.A. has been playing tackle football with illegal aliens . . . and losing . . . until Trump 2.0.

I really detest what football has become. The game now is nothing like it used to be.

Did anyone really believe that the Democrats would not eventually destroy football? It is an obvious target.

What’s with the waffle maker? They having chicken and waffles before the game.

The most recent one I watched may have been visiting a friend’s house in the early 1980s.

Did Rome get rid of its gladiator arenas in it’s last days??

Sheesh, let’s further feminize our men.

Admittedly, I didn’t read the article, only the headline. ;)

Some of the football players are almost as talented of actors as some of the futball players when feigning injuries from contact with the opposing players.

People actually pay to watch this watered down travesty.

You can't tackle Mahomes.

The script is in. Kansas City will win the Super Bowl.

I hope you're a "Swiftie".

In my younger days I learned that playing anything with the word “football” in it would end with somebody heading for the emergency room.

Things are getting pretty bad in America when even cartoonists can’t spell words correctly, and nobody cares.

It’s been dying since 2016 which was the year after I watched a football game for the last time. I usually watch just under 20 total minutes of NFL football each season. I haven’t watched a single minute of Super Bowl. I don’t even care about the commercials.

There are apparently not enough injuries in football to suit the author, even though a pro team has about two injuries per player per season.

There were 1275 regular and postseason games in the 5 NFL seasons between 2017 to 2018 and 2021 to 2022. Over the 5 seasons, 4378 injuries were reported, for a mean of 34.42 (30.58-39.26) injuries per 1000 AEs per year.
