F(l)ag football PING!.................
The U.S.A. has been playing tackle football with illegal aliens . . . and losing . . . until Trump 2.0.
Trump won’t be allowed to tackle ‘Rats and traitors like John Roberts [TDS be upon him...]?
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.
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.
Rush had talked about this for years as it happened
The players got too big and strong and well trained in delivering a physical blow to their opponent. Human bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, brains, abdomens, cannot withstand the continual damage. The professional game had to change because it was losing stars to injury. Spectators don’t like to see their stars carried off the field on a stretcher or in an ambulance. Owners don’t want to fulfill million dollar contracts to players in the hospital.
Game has devolved to “basketball on grass”. Guys wearing pants which end above the knees with no thigh or hip pads is a joke.
Watching Dick Butkus blasting opponents , or Joe “Turkey” Jones just about destroy Terry Bradshaw is enough to let one know how dangerous to health the game had become.
The game has left the regular American fan. This is true in pro and college.
Like so many things we used to enjoy, money has taken over.
