Homo ass sex is vastly more widespread and damaging than professional football.

I'll wait until I see similar concerns about its hazards before I worry about football.

I personally could care less about football, but I dislike a foreigner telling me what I should accept as entertainment.

You reap what you sow. The NFL showcases Satanic masses at its Super Bowl, shuts out firearms advertisers, and pushes 0-care alienating many conservatives. Truth is, NFL is critical for our oligarchic government because it provides a powerful diversion for the public. Instead of unsderstanding politics and policy, otherwise intelligent and potentially critical thinking individuals spend their time memorizing player stats for fantasy football games.
Meanwhile, the effete metrosexual types whine about the violence which elicits a predictable defense of the manly sport by fans that define their manliness by watching and defending the NFL.
Let’s face it. The NFL is in league with the NWO. This is all a contrived controversy.

The hilariously faggy Guardian strikes again. Why don’t they abolish rugby and get back to us.

The libs continue to function on the assumption that all risk can be eliminated and that grown adults aren’t capable assessing risk and making rational choices.

Actually, he was talking about this at least a decade ago.

He was saying the Left hated the image of football.

Cricket injuries

Cricket is a gentlemanly British game like baseball except the ball is much harder and the players, except for the equivalent of the catcher, wear no gloves.

Well considering that grown adults voted for Obama twice, maybe they have a point.

In other words, the NFL is a devious Left-wing socio-political control mechanism.

In England, the only one they’re sure isn’t a queen, is the Queen.

“Well considering that grown adults voted for Obama twice, maybe they have a point.”

It’s hard to disagree with that, but it seems like we can separate the men from the boys by political affiliation.
