10. I prefer rational discussions.

Any discussion about US football has to include violence. After all. Why in the fuck do they wear all that padding? International football (I.e. Soccer.), no padding. Aussie rules football? No padding.

US football? Lots of padding, violence, and (apparently) both brain damage and spousal abuse.

QED.

I hate violence, especially when it's useless violence, like on a football field where it is totally unjustified. Too many call it entertainment. I find it idiotic. No wonder we're in so much trouble.

Maybe the NFL would sell better if they issued Zip guns, one per team, with one bullet each. One does not know who has it, and of course they are very inaccurate, but it sure would raise both the excitement and the violence of the game, which certainly seems to be the goal of this enterprise. Bullets flying would help things out. Don't ya think? Can hardly wait for the cheerleaders.

US football utterly sucks.
