re: #244 HappyWarrior

You know watching this preseason game, I really don’t like the new NFL. Too many penalties.

I haven’t vocalized this or really articulated it in any manner, so I’ll do it here: I’m boycotting the NFL. I vow not to watch a single play this season, if I can. I think the NFL conducts its business unethically, with no regard for players’ health and of course the violent girlfriend-beaters get 2 game suspensions while a cannabis user can get banned for an entire season.

I was watching the World Cup this summer, and somewhere along the line I thought to myself This is sport. It is a beautiful game. In that thought, I had another, American Football is just organized violence. Call it an epiphany, whatever, after watching lots of soccer matches this summer I decided that American Football sucks as a sport.

I haven’t even told my parents (die-hard Broncos fans, my mother has an autographed life-sized cardboard cut-out of John Elway, and two Tim Tebow jerseys [she loves those!]).

Haarumph!!! OK, that felt good to get off my chest.
