The cheerleaders are the only thing keeping people from recognizing how gay football is. A bunch of big burly men rubbing up against each other in order to control a leather ball.

You don't watch a lot of football, do you? Rubbing up against each other isn't an effective strategy for winning.

I read that cheerleaders get paid next to nothing, they do it for 'exposure'.

I mean, most plays involve 4-8 guys running into each other from about a foot away.

Using "gay" as an insult is so 20th century. Times change, you can too.

I didn't mean gay as an insult. I am just pointing out the fact that it is kind of gay. And that's okay. Just don't act like there is anything manly about sitting with 'the boys' drinking beer and watching men rub each other for a leather ball.

at least in rugby there's no padding so you have true skin to skin contact. The scrum also involves putting your head between men's buttcheeks. One of the reasons the guys get cauliflower ears.

There's no rubbing in football except for a specific type of play where you "rub" a defender off of an offensive player in order to get that player open.

There are soooo many jokes you can make about football being homoerotic and you miss completely. There is a position called a tight end! A player who is not defended is called "wide open". The quarterback literally puts his hands on the center's taint before he snaps the ball.

What kind of football are you watching where people are rubbing up against each other?

What kind of activities do you do with your friends? I'm genuinely curious. I ask because I've seen you chide various forms of men hanging out together but strangely I can't recall you ever sharing any type of moment where you enjoyed social interactions within a group, which leads me to believe you are actually depressed about a lack of in person social interaction with your peers and lash out at examples as a coping mechanism.

I enjoy smoking pot with friends. Playing chess, and video games. Working on tech. MTG etc. Nerd shit generally. I resent being made fun of because I don't care for sports and rather read a book.

You should be made fun of for lacking reading comprehension because I definitely wasn't making fun of you for not caring for sports.

I did chuckle at the thought of you and a few friends in your garage with bedsheets on the ground, chopping it up while you guys torque allen wrenches to fit your PSU into a PC case.

Do you play any online chess? Let's play sometime!

I'm more of a responsible and hard working man than many people who watch sports and buy man products. I demand society stop denigrating people like me who like things like red wine, Japanese motorcycles, 4 door sedans, milk in coffee, white collar work, and not sports.

Yeah those memes are as stupid as you calling football gay.

It's ironic though, you parroting traditional cultural values out of one side of your mouth while criticizing them out of another.

Alternatively, change the packaging to pink, mark it up and sell it as "engineered for women".

i don't even like team sports and boy is this line tiresome as shit. 'rugby is manlier! they get cauliflower ears'.

actually the padding and presence of helmets in american football is negligible. as a consequence they run straight into each other at much higher speeds.

rugby players occasionally get a bloody nose or aggravated ears. american football players get brain injuries.

I wasn't trying to be very serious about all this.

Out of first hand experience rugby is dangerous as shit. American football is too, certainly, but like in football professional rugby players suffer major brain injuries as well. Just a month ago or so there were articles everywhere about a number of players sueing the league for very early onset dementia.

I broke my collarbone playing. Most of the guys in my team had a broken nose, fingers etc. at some point. It's a dangerous sport and took me about 2 yrs to figure out that the risk of injury just wasn't worth it to me.

yep, granted it happens to rugby players too. but the whole 'american footballers wear PaDdiNG!' argument doesn't really hold up. they just hit each other harder and faster. a severe concussion is probably worse for you long-term than a broken nose.

let me tell you 'from first hand experience', having spent years around people who are deeply fucked up from brain injuries, including lots of old boys who used to be hero boxers and now have to take their sunday roasts through a straw, that any sport where you get hit in the head repeatedly is not worth the youthful japes.

Of all sports I can tolerate baseball. I fondly remember watching Yankees games with my grandfather. The game is fairly simple. I have been to baseball games and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Almost all of the people getting beat up at a stadium happens at football games. And baseball is a sport my normal sized frame wouldn't be damaged playing.

tennis is the superior sport. no team shenanigans and tribal boorishness of 'fans'. just 2 people trying to out-do one another with a mixture of pure athleticism, agility, and mental discipline.

watching a tennis player slowly lose their rag is a sight to behold. you can beat someone psychologically a long time before you break their set.
