.....There goes the one thing I enjoyed watching on television. Men who weren't afraid to proudly flaunt their Masculinity/Machismo (I looooove that). Real men, not those metrosexual pussy-whipped men on sitcoms and effeminate shows.
Fan-fucking-tastic.

Come back Manly football, come back!!!! I like my testosterone fix on Sunday afternoons, Monday nights, and college gamedays! It balances out my raging female hormones (which I keep in check).

Uh...speaking as one of those who'd probably be accused of being "metrosexual" by the rest ah y'all if you knew of my support of live theater and orchestras...
I think this article is less about "feminizing" the game and more about punishing the defense. Tbey still love wreckage because they know the fans love it -- so long as it's not the so-called "skill" positions getting hit. (I think being a punter or offensive tackle takes just as much skill as anything else, but that's what they call them...) You can chop-block the defensive end and take out his knee, but please, please, please don't touch the quarterbacks or wideouts.
Everything to ensure that the final score of every game is something around 42-38 so we don't bore our short-attention span society. Every time the defenses improve, the league restricts them further...

bravo, bravo genteel, you hit nail the on the head my man (especialy in regard to the "skill positions")
btw, don't worry about being accused of being a metro sexual, for christ's sake i love watching the theater and perticularly the opera, so it really doesn't matter what your into in that regard at least.

Agreed.
I like a little theater, myself. As well as going to classical music concerts. Bet y'all are shocked, huh? *grinn*.
On the other hand I like to also go to the Hockey games, and occasionaly pay attention to football as well as basketball.
But yeah, the feminists won't be happy untill male football players are prancing around the feild in tu tus flopping their wrists and tossing flowers over their shoulders from little pink basketts.
YYAARRGGHHH!

Yeah, okay... messing with professional football players by attempting to make them wimpy. That's a smart move. I assume they're not going to inform everyone about the impending switch personally...
;)
I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of sports... but I'm even less of a fan of WIMPING-DOWN sports. I don't follow a football team's scores and ignore people's birthday parties to watch the TVs at their house... but when I do manage to watch football, I'd preferr to see something *cool*. Making them parade around in Tutus and making playful slapping on the shoulder the most contact the sport is allowed... is just dumb.

IMO there is nothing better than reading a well stacked factual article like this. BZ.
I still am amazed that women who supposedly make 74 percent of a man, yet advertising caters almost exclusively to women who happen to band stand onto the greatest sporting event in our country. Go figure.
Where again are all those 18-34 year old males.. Watching Oprah...Dr Phil..Good Morning America? No there watching the last bastion of hope for them. SportsCenter and Gameday and the NFL Network. Which coincidently or not have very little advertising comparatively.

I don't even want to know what they're doing with the "tight end." Enough said.

Even the word "scrimmage" seems to have sexual undertones after reading this. Bleah!
Football Player: Hey, who has the football? We need the football so we can play a game.
Football Player 2: Well, Cyril brought the ball this time, but he won't let us play with it.
Cyril: Because this is my ball and we'll play by my rules or I thwear I'll go thwait home!
[Cyril in his mom's car]
Mom: Cyril, I'm driving you to your game with Choate, and what are you doing? Eating cookies in the car?
Cyril: It's not a cookie, mother, it's a Fig Newton.
Mom: Oh, carry on then!

not to start an argument but i beg to differ. you would know that oot ball isn't for sissys if you evr had a 270 lb linebacker running at you like a humen missile and have him spear you with his helmet right in your gut. let me tell you that gentlmen is not a good sensation. also a i'am a lin man i have about 60- 80 tweenty second long fist fights (thats what lineman work brakes down to) but i digrees and i do agree that rugby is tougher but i never had the chance to play it. and as far as hocky goes not all of us can skate
