Each of the following news reports does not provide a crucial piece of information, but simply assumes it. Can you spot what’s missing?...

Ping!
That soccer is a sport?
Only an evo would take a story with the title “Do Monkeys Play Football?” and then assume it is a story about people.
Football is too slow of a sport for my taste. You might have six or eight minutes of action spread out over four hours.
Its easy to see why it works as a sport to watch in groups though. The games are virtually always on weekends, there aren’t many so each is important, and there are eight millions of stoppages in the action to either dissect and argue over strategy or to grab a beer.
Except for the last two minutes of a close game its a terrible sport to watch alone. At least its better than baseball though. Talk about a sport with few displays of athleticism and few avenues for creativity.
It's quite remarkable, when you think about it, how the NFL has been able to perpetrate this fraud for so long.
I totally agree on baseball. I recently attended a baseball game and was bored stiff throughout. Although, I have to admit, it does get interesting when your home team makes it to the World Series.
Okay, to anybody who’s heard the old simile about the monkey and the football, that title’s just an open invitation to mischief.
Now, now...let’s not forget this is a family forum!
Editors to check for grammar errors?
Calling European ‘football’ a sport? (that was /sarc by the way).
Corporate sponsorship from Budweiser.
I think baseball is another sport that can be fun with a group live. On TV its miserable.
Thanks for the ping!
Aussie and Irish football are lots'a fun, and no helmets. But now sports channels are trying to pass off POKER as a sport; unbelievable!
I actually like soccer, I put the /sarc in there because I don’t want to get in that old fight. Rugby though, now that is a real sport.
It's probably connected to beer sales.
GGG since you claim to regularly send “evos” crying after a debate I challenge you to try that outside of this echo chamber of yours. I would like to see you present your arguments at another site and see how long you last. My guess would be about 2 or 3 post.
I do seriously doubt that will take up this challenge since it would require more than your circular reasoning, misdirection, insults, and name-calling. Plus not having your cheerleaders to assist in the insults, and name-calling.
As they say if you talk the talk you need to walk to walk….

Gee....it's because monkeys are considered "sub-human"....just as black people were considered "sub-human", making their enslavement easy to explain away.
$50 says Dr. Catchpool is a racist that hangs around his racist buddies using terms such as "jungle monkey" and doesn't see what's wrong with it.
It's not a sport, but it's surprisingly good television.
