Do they know that football involves a bunch of men grabbing each other?
If I told someone I had a video of muscular dudes in spandex pants wrestling around with each other in the mud, they’d think I never miss pride events, but tell them its the most recent superbowl and suddenly…
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.
the Super Bowl is just a bunch of burly guys pressing tightly against another group of burly guys trying to prove who is best at handling balls all to win jewelry and a purse.
Listen to sports commentators out of context. Sounds pretty gay to me
If you put black censor bars over MMA fighter shorts, it looks REALLY GAY.
In Canada it’s the gay sport.
In Europe it’s not even a sport, just how americans maintain their brain damage.
Doesnt each play start with a traditional sniffing of someones balls before the football is thrown back
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.
Hand-egg more than football.
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.
You are correct but do you watch Gaelic?
I think he must be a CFL fan.
Does this imply chess is intended to be played on horseback?
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.
technically you need a dirigible
You know it was a joke, right?
they call it football but there’s never any of the guys’ feet touching any of the other guys’ balls
Every time I read TPUSA. I think Toilet Paper USA. Not complaining, because that’s what it us basically
I want to defend the toilet paper for keeping shit off your hands while TPUSA is the literal shit
Pretty sure that was a subreddit name.
TP made out of poison ivy.
Nice work fun police, who ya gonna get? The old fart with the America song?
It’s gonna be the Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan “it’s not gay because we said ‘no homo’ circle jerk spectacular” featuring George Santos.
Didn’t hulk hogan die?
And you think magats are smart enough to remember that? They’ll get a guy barely ressembling hogan and call it a day
Look, all they want is a muscular man with facial hair in shorts telling them how he’s going to dominate them, pin them to the floor and just start pounding them. Otherwise, it’s too gay.
You forgot ripping his shirt off.
Kid Rock and Ted Nugent would be my guess. But I mean, you could swing a dead cat and hit like six or seven country/western singers who hate dark-skinned and/or LGBTQ+ Americans in a given honky-tonk, so they’ll have no shortage of talent. And, make no mistake, some of these people are talented… but if they just use that talent to try to further divide the poor people for the benefit of the wealthy, I don’t think they are worthy of my attention.
Kid Rock and a ninja turtle
He’ll only come if the Ninja Turtle is underage.
It’s in the name… they’re all teenagers.
No, I have a conflicting schedule. I’m gonna be too busy not being there.
Have him sing the Canada version
I can wait to find out what loser right wing celebs they haul out to combat the wokeness. 😂
Kid Rock instantly materialises
I assume it would something akin to this,
I really don’t care for people dunking on Guy Fieri. He’s a genuinely good guy and putting him in the same context as Kid Rock is a little disgusting.
What a bunch of thin-skinned losers
*light-skinned losers
*skin headed
It’s not gay, it’s brown. Or is Bad Bunny also gay? I have no idea, and I don’t care who he loves. I’m tuning in for the music and the dancing. I’m not a fan, but I’m sure it’ll be a good show.
Although the jury is still out as to whether Bad Bunny is gay or not, he has announced that he is going to perform the halftime show wearing a dress, in solidarity with Puerto Rico‘s rich history of drag queens.
So, yeah. That.
Drag used to be a lot more common in the US.
Cue vt of Trump and Giuliani dressed as women.
Isn’t noted band with an openly bisexual lead singer Green Day performing as the opening act?
Actually a few of the acts are openly queer, or explicitly queer-friendly? Or, like Bad Bunny, planning to perform in a dress to pay homage to drag. So yeah, it’s pretty gay (affectionate)
So what’s it going to be? Kid Rock singing about how Trump is God’s chosen president while a group of “liberals” (ie: non conservatives) they captured off the streets get forced to pray to Jesus in the direction of Mar-a-Lago?
These fuckers remind me of the type of people who only let their kids watch “Christian” television.
Well, this shows once again that the right-wing extremists need their own artificially staged reality in order to somehow justify all the outrageous lies of the MAGA leadership: they simply cannot allow people to peacefully celebrate sporting events.
It’s really absurd how blind these idiots are. They just can’t see that the imaginary enemy images that are being mindlessly propagated here simply serve to distract from how thoroughly degenerate the leaders of this “movement” are, from the fact that they are actually the enemies of all halfway decent people.
The stupidity is really only surpassed by the ruthlessness of the criminals responsible for this moronic deception.
They’re doing the “brainwashing” they accuse others of. Benny Shap’s network makes right-wing movies for crying out loud.
They defend this by saying that hollywood is “left” wing … so they must “counteract” and “balance” things.
I’m reminded of the Chris Wallace and Jon Stewart interview: https://youtu.be/UYbtUztVctI?t=417
Jon Stewart:
Here’s the difference between you and I, I’m a comedian first … my comedy is informed by an ideological background. There’s no question about that, but the thing you will never understand and the thing that conservative activists will never understand is that Hollywood, yeah they’re liberal, but that’s not their primary motivating force. I’m not an activist. I’m a comedian and my comedy is informed by ideology, there’s no question about that, but I’m not an ideologue.
Ben shaps is originally a failed writer who sucked too hard to get hired in Hollywood, so now he writes the dumbest shit to try to show what a smart boy he is. He only sounds smart to dummies, his clevererest argument technique is the gish gallop, and that old short meme video response to him which references aqua man sums up his entire career and intellectual capability.
Of course they do, this is their mindless tactic and it’s obvious to everyone with half a brain because it’s so mindless (it used to be much more skillful).
This can only work because there’s so much money behind it. Otherwise, it would never be possible to maintain such obvious bullshit. It can only work because there are billionaires and because these billionaires are all inhumane monsters - psychopaths by definition. It is the logical consequence of unbridled capitalism, which, contrary to all the narratives that people like Milton Friedman have made famous, is not a free market, but always produces the monopolies we see today.
The civilizational regression we are experiencing today is the direct result of this: of too much money in too few horribly unscrupulous hands.
In itself, it’s simple, but billionaires are doing everything they can to prevent people from realizing that - as in this case: hey, let’s just have our own fascist Super Bowl show. It’s just sooo fucking stupid, but so are people.
I guess this is how it is: Despite its blatant absurdity, all of this is only possible because people allow it - that is just a fact. With all that monstrous shit going on in the word besides better judgement I find it increasingly difficult to attribute this to any other reason than that there is a significant proportion of people who are incorrigible, arrogant and ignorant beyond saving - and then some who are just plain evil. Perhaps that is human nature, which Kant and all other Enlightenment thinkers always denied because they wanted people to believe in the good of the people so they can do good instead of evil.
So wait, you’re going to try and run a second concert in competition with the super bowl halftime show, and still associate it with the super bowl/NFL?
The lawyers are going to eat them alive for the fees.
Conservatives don’t assimilate into American society.
They’re whole ethos is antisocial. They are obstinent toddlers who stomp their feet and fold their arms and think it’s funny to make other people mad.
The USA is not a monolith. The lines and features have probably shifted, but the idea of Colin Woodward’s “American Nations” rings quite true today.
You’re missing the joke. One of the chief conservative complaints about immigrants is that “they don’t assimilate into american society”.
Lee Greenwood’s body is ready.
What an ironically queen move. Big groan and ick.
Nope, blackjack and little kiddies. Got to keep them interested somehow…
