    How gay is that?! They need to have their own party, because they aren’t welcome at the regular one. Such cry babies with their safe spaces and delicate feelings.

      Football can be described in so many fun ways.

      Years ago when my rep was cosponsoring some bill about how video games were killing children my buddy sent him a letter. I don’t remember the exact contents but it pointed out the rich history in Texas of folks wearing different colors violently defending their turf from rivals. Schools are training high schoolers to how to be in a gang as a sponsored activity every Friday evening.

          Yes, I got the joke. And I was suggesting that Americans have always been on about other Americans not assimilating into their American culture. I also just find jokes about fascists being hypocritical or contradictory are no longer funny when the assumption that it’s an indication of foolish lack of self-awareness no longer holds because double-think is the active goal.

            I guess I’d say that the joke is for us and not them, but I’d also argue that they genuinely don’t assimilate, probably to a much greater degree than any other demographic.

    I would say the superbowl isn’t gay enough. The half-time show should be all 24 players having an orgy on the field. That’d certainly get me to watch the dumb foosball game.

        Sports are called “foot” ball because they involve running and aren’t played on horses. And “ball” doesn’t mean “sphere”

            Lol.

            “Foot means played on foot” is not the same as “every other sport must be played on horse”. Football naming etymology has no impact on the naming of other sports. Chess is often played in a chair, not on foot, so it already is a non foot game. The lack of distinguishing may be to allow some chess players to optionally stand, or play from horseback if desired.

            It DOES mean though that you are not allowed to play American football on horseback.

    It must be so sad to belong to the drab old culture MAGA idolizes, and watch the entire world just move the fuck on constantly, not giving a single shit, when you think that football-and-Jesus culture is some kind of temple eternal.

        I really don’t care for people dunking on Guy Fieri. He’s a genuinely good guy and putting him in the same context as Kid Rock is a little disgusting.
