It looks like it isn’t going to be long before the boys in the NFL will be wearing pink cleats, mouthpieces and jock straps EVERY week.

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind seeing them limit, if not do away comepletely, with pads and helmets.

You’ll have a lot fewer cheap shots and dangerous hits if you can’t just throw yourself into someone.

This is the last straw for me. First with all the low class inner city scum. Then they wear pink for a month. Now it’s worried about faggots...I quit.

We’re good at being quarterbacks, linemen, and line backer. There is an occasional decent white wide receiver and safety.

I’d advise the NFL to become the lingerie league.

Then how did Jason Sehorn ever make so many pro bowls?

The sad thing is that blacks make up around 10-12% of the US population, and homosexuals make up around 4-6%.

I think your numbers are a little off. Last I've read is 18-20% and 2-3%, respectively.

I believe that blacks comprise 12.7% of the US’s population. No one knows the true fag %.

"pads and helmets"

Those things were mandated in college football in the early 1900s after one year five or six players were killed in games.

They’re next. You can’t let those Bible-clinging gun-owners have their own sport. First they got rid of tobacco product endorsements. Next will be a high ethanol content, and finally supporting homos.

Perhaps you're right. I neglected to take into account the spectacular success of Planned Parenthood -- which obama asked God to bless this morning -- in working toward their founding mission to control the size of the "negro population".

Yes, I’m aware. The big issue back then was the wedge formation and players being trampled.

Not an issue nowadays.

The problem with pads and helmets is that they allow you to hit with impunity — that is, you won’t feel the hit you’re laying on some wide receiver.

Part of the problem is kids don’t know how to properly tackle. Instead of wrapping someone up and taking him to the ground, they’ll use the pads or helmet to do it.

It increases your chances of getting on the highlight reel, sure, get on ESPN’s JACKED UP or whatever.

But it also increases the chance that (1) you’ll blow your assignment, (2) not end the play, and (3) screw up and hurt someone, possibly yourself.

Look at rugby or Aussie rules. They don’t have the huge ESPN-friendly hits, but they also don’t have people getting paralyzed on the field.

The NFL has been discriminating against me for years. I’m old, slow, can’t jump, can’t throw, kick or catch a football very well. I can’t block or tackle.
THERE IS NOBODY IN THE NFL LIKE ME!

If this isn’t discrimination, I don’t know what is.
***********************************************************
I’ll tell you what is. I cannot do any of those things either and I am a WOMAN. And that is real discrimination. I would settle for being a cheer-leader but they discriminate against over-weight, over-opinionated and over age seventy women. I should sue!

Let's start a class action lawsuit! All of us with no talent or athletic ability are being discriminated against!
