Liberals salivating for a ban on football; Chicago Tribune.

[samjones]

Mixed Martial Arts (UFC style fights) were BANNED in most states until 2005 when $$$ started to flow. The state of New York still has not passed legislation allowing UFC there, which is why MSG hasn't hosted one yet. They do, however, forsee this coming.

Sports can indeed be banned. We're talking liberals here. They've banned salt, lemonade stands and baggy pants. They'll find a way.

Football will die a slow death. First Pop Warner leagues will disappear and flag football won't be a game that is offered by the local Y. Suburban parents won't let their kids play. Then middle schools won't offer it. Then high schools in the Northeast will stop offering it and other areas of the country will follow.

It's dangerous for kids. There's no denying that and we're only a couple of juicy news stories away from seeing PTA's call for it to be banned. There was a time when high school boxing teams were common. And college. Now they simply don't exist.

As time goes on, football for minors will become like boxing.... and club sport enjoyed by very few. Municipalities will ban the any kind of football contest that charges admission or advertises. Eventually they'll treat unsanctioned full contact football games as simple battery charges - just like they would with boxing now.

It's patently stupid to think that football's death is somehow related to political leanings.

Not gonna happen.

You are an idiot.

Remember, all great athletes SMOKE. And eliminating testosterone would destroy the people of America; thus "liberals" MUST want to do so. ( are those long ago LSD experiments being attempted AGAIN, on those to the right of David Duke?)

 

[candycorn]

You are an idiot.

great comeback

It was honest.

If they wanna play a safe game that has great sportsmanship, they can play soccer.

Football is a violent, ruthless game that wont tolerate losers or softness. Leave it alone.

In the most recent NEISS survey, soccer continued to have one of the higher numbers of annual injuries. In the year, the estimated incidents of soccer-related injury were at a high 198,679.

My niece played soccer in high school and college. She has had two knee operations and still has problems.

Men play football.
Real men play soccer.

And football is still here.

Big dogs and fat I would exclude from this list. A big dog speaks of lack of man's confidence in his abilities, big dogs are loved by perverts, they stink and eat feces. Instead of a dog, you need to put a bull or a horse here, these animals directly personify the image of a man. And this is traditional for the men of America, there are rodeos and cowboy races.

Fatty foods are not conducive to the formation of an adequate male body.
Instead, milk and honey, the traditional food of the heroes, are suitable

Keep mewling, ignorant weakling.

Someone sees here a smelly lustful dog or bacon? I do not see

If we are talking about the traditional culture of America's men.

 

[rupol2000]

American spirit of freedom and masculinity

And real men only smoke red

 

[rupol2000]

Girls in pants minus everything traditionally masculine in America lol. They want Eurotolerance

"Fearless Girl is meant to "send a message" about workplace gender diversity and encourage companies to recruit women to their boards"

Saving American football - Chicago Tribune

Liberalism has set it's sights on anything traditionally manly in society. Guns, the military, the police, testosterone, big fast cars, big dogs, smoking, fatty foods, sport fighting.

It was only a matter of time before they came after football.

This ObamaLand liberal in the link is foaming at the mouth at the thought of one day having football banned. I suspect he'll find pleny of Dem voters who agree.

It's nothing to do with democrats idiot.
Here's a violent game.

 

[rupol2000]

Here's a violent game.

It is immediately obvious that you have never played English football. There are tough moments there, but mostly it's boring running around, which makes men with eggs fall asleep. About the same as for English boxing and Dagestan MMA.

 

[rupol2000]

English boxing has already won in the United States.
Once upon a time there were guys with eggs, they fought in the days of Dempsey, remained men in the days of Marciano and Foreman's debut, but after Ali it was already boxing holes.

Once they wore gloves only to cushion blows, and not to hide. Clinches were apparently considered a generally shameful maneuver.
In general, clinching in boxing looks ridiculous. It looks like boxing is a cut of something like Muay Thai, where clinching is a logical offensive grab under the knee kick. Or it could have been a grip for throw. In boxing, it could not appear, it's just legacy.

By the way, CrossFit is also an American pride of our time, and it is a very masculine, military-oriented sport. The fact that many women are now involved in it is just a comedy of politicians. Europeans are poorly adapted to CrossFit and lack a professional army.

Is that a 'sport'? I thought it was just an exercise program.

 

[Unkotare]

. Clinches were apparently considered a generally shameful maneuver.
......

When?

 

[Unkotare]

The gloves are there to protect the fighters hands.

 

[rupol2000]

Is that a 'sport'?

yes, it is a full-fledged competitive sport in the spirit of the athletic Olympic all-around
