    How gay is that?! They need to have their own party, because they aren’t welcome at the regular one. Such cry babies with their safe spaces and delicate feelings.

          Yes, I got the joke. And I was suggesting that Americans have always been on about other Americans not assimilating into their American culture. I also just find jokes about fascists being hypocritical or contradictory are no longer funny when the assumption that it’s an indication of foolish lack of self-awareness no longer holds because double-think is the active goal.

            I guess I’d say that the joke is for us and not them, but I’d also argue that they genuinely don’t assimilate, probably to a much greater degree than any other demographic.

      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.

    I would say the superbowl isn’t gay enough. The half-time show should be all 24 players having an orgy on the field. That’d certainly get me to watch the dumb foosball game.

        Sports are called “foot” ball because they involve running and aren’t played on horses. And “ball” doesn’t mean “sphere”

        I don’t watch association, Australian, rugby or American football, but you’ve bothered the etymologist in me with your nonsense suggestion.

            Lol.

            “Foot means played on foot” is not the same as “every other sport must be played on horse”. Football naming etymology has no impact on the naming of other sports. Chess is often played in a chair, not on foot, so it already is a non foot game. The lack of distinguishing may be to allow some chess players to optionally stand, or play from horseback if desired.

            It DOES mean though that you are not allowed to play American football on horseback.
