As you all know by now, reigning Arizona high school champions Phoenix Mountain Pointe have been forced to vacate ALL of their wins because they did not fill out a hardship form for senior running back Tyrek Cross.

I think it'll do to have all of our discussion of this late breaking development in this thread to keep it from spilling into every other thread on the forum.

Same reason right-leaning chucklefucks everywhere do-- it's a very military sport that abstracts the concepts of combat and warfare down to lumbering giants smashing into each other so it's not obvious on first glance that the game is just a weird form of gladiator matches. It feeds the same part of their brain that worships the idea of war, but in a manner ostensibly safe (it's not loving safe) enough that even their kids can get in on the action.

It's also why Rugby is so popular in non-US countries. It's just a human instinct to want to gather in groups and kick the poo poo out of each other in a bid for territory gains.

Football has become the last bastion of discipline. Every good football coach knows you can be the greatest mind in the world when it comes to strategy, but if you don’t train your troops, it’s all a waste. In football, we are training the troops. We are teaching kids traits desired by many professions, including the military. I took my team on a trip to West Point a few years ago. Because in football, we are teaching kids hustle, determination, teamwork, effort, discipline, intelligence and that hard work pays off.
