Ha..! Back in the early 80s I worked with a black guy from Philly who was real good at our Military Intramural sports of Football and Basketball.
I played Baseball and Hockey - so I was razzing him that he should come out and play with us...
He stated: “No one wants a sport where the ‘brothers!’ have a stick in their hands!” We laughed are asses off...
Great Guy - I think he went to Bowl Game when he played at Temple...
In the great old (black & white) movie "Knute Rockne, All-American" there was a scene in which one of the priests who was a Notre Dame administrator was discussing how football was too rough a game, and should be replaced with hockey. Rockne replied that he wouldn't want to put a stick in the hands of an Irishman!
