Forget gun control and abortion, the NFL is the real pox on this nation
  • serious problems with concussions
  • racist team names with refusal to change them
  • robbing and extorting money from states to build new stadiums
  • supreme court ruled that they were a Cartel instead of a business so they could dodge anti-trust laws
  • superbowl more about commericals than the game
  • 3 hour game is roughly 20 minutes of actual game
  • has created culture that values football more than anything else

At least it's a different shaped ball then other sports. It's more made for throwing so it's stupid to even call it football, people only use their feet like 17 percent of the plays and its some special teams bullshit anyways. You can't even use your feet for upfield play towards the goal most of the time so it seems kind of stupid to call a sport football like that. A football isn't shaped like a foot.

Revive boxing.

Put wrestling back in the olympics.

Death to all team sports except hockey, and that only really because Canadians are such good neighbors and hockey is like everything lovely about soccer fixed, so we can lord that over junglecountries.

Remember when we sent college basketball players to the olympics instead of people from the NBA because what was the point of just blowing everyone out every year in this conciliatory sport the committee included in this supposedly international competition just to get America to tone down the "I'll turn this car around!!!" world financial threats every year.
