Football season USA

Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

Hello,

ESPN promotes USA football for a number of reasons - first of all, studio hosts aren't familiar with soccer (the most popular sport in the world) and thus speak about subjects/sports they are more comfortable with addressing. ESPN has a financial interest in football achieving high numbers as well. NBC has done well financially with the EPL despite events airing early Saturday and Sunday mornings.

You mean the part about Eli Manning being black? No wonder the Boston fans hate him so much.

More so, the Mannings are descended from one of the largest colonial slaveowners.

He's going to have a really bizarre post-football life, isn't he? Not full-on Howard Hughes, maybe but along the lines of Michael Jackson (minus, hopefully, the pedo). He's going to be a punchline for weirdo behaviour, where every rumour has credibility.

And Flex, he's known to cosplay as Payton Manning and would love to recreate past match-ups.

Massachusettes women are all getting their hair and nails done, telling their husbands they "need a break", all in hope that their fantasy will now come true.

Tommy, I always used to say you and I could raise a beautiful family together. You missed your chance with me, but if you're interested the missus will no doubt give me some latitude. Love, Flex

Complete garbage sport. The more I learn about football the more ghoulish I see it. The NFL and its college plantation system really illustrate all of modern society’s ills.

Yes, there's a degree of celebrity and temporary higher wages, but it's not *that* dissimilar to Industrial Revolution era devouring and discarding of human bodies.

Luckily for me, the pats have become so garbage I can start pretending I'm not watching games for moral reasons.
