is it your contention that the two teams on the football field are co-operating toward a common goal, using polite, but pursuasive rhetoric to advance their agendas?

Hmm. Interesting. Of course, that is not what I meant. But, for someone who claims not to watch football, you know a lot about it.

And, please, don't insult my intelligence. You specfically described it the way you did to imply either football is comprised of 1) a bunch of Cro-Magnons wanting to kill each other or 2) a bunch of latent homos that enjoy jumping onto other men.

Your creativity with the language specifically masks your point so that when you are called on it, you can make another creative passage denying or providing misdirection from your statement.

If you want to say, "Football is played by idiots" or "Football is played by a bucnh of F*gs", then say so.

Show some spine, speak/type in regular language.

Kindly show me where I claimed not to watch football. I said it was inappropriate for impressionable children to watch superbowl football, and I cited the rather painfully obvious reasons I thought so. None of which, I note, have ellicited a defense, as yet.

Alternatively, how about if you show a rudimentary sense of good manners, and stop putting words in my mouth I never uttered. I happen to like football--in my yard, or down at the park.
