As a long time red-neck from Texas I always found it strange a game played with a ball, that a player could not catch, pitch or throw with his hands. Or male referees/officials dressed in tight little shorts that signal with little flags on sticks. And of course the rabid fans; fans that kill each other by either stamping, stampeding or caving in the bleachers on each other. Oh, forgot about the fires too.
Wouldn't walk across the street to watch a game.

Admittedly, The Game is for people who are coordinated with the lower half of their body. Hand-Eye centric individuals need not apply. That is unless you're Diego Maradona - somebody queue up the "Hand of God" clip.
