Do they know that football involves a bunch of men grabbing each other?
If I told someone I had a video of muscular dudes in spandex pants wrestling around with each other in the mud, they'd think I never miss pride events, but tell them its the most recent superbowl and suddenly...
Hey, you leave the Turkish national sport outta this

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.
the Super Bowl is just a bunch of burly guys pressing tightly against another group of burly guys trying to prove who is best at handling balls all to win jewelry and a purse.
Doesnt each play start with a traditional sniffing of someones balls before the football is thrown back
Listen to sports commentators out of context. Sounds pretty gay to me
If you put black censor bars over MMA fighter shorts, it looks REALLY GAY.
In Canada it's the gay sport.
In Europe it's not even a sport, just how americans maintain their brain damage.
Rough....but fair!
