Thought of the day 02/01/09

With so many people bringing up the Superbowl, I couldn't help but make this observation. Our national pastime hasn't been baseball in a really long time. Baseball is for math fetishists and queens. Football isn't our national pastime either, even though it's infinitely more enjoyable to watch, and (unlike baseball) it can't be played by a one-armed, comatose monkey that's being simultaneously tasered and raped. No, our national pastime isn't even a sport. It's talking about how homoerotic football is. It's funny, though, that most of the people who say that don't do so within earshot of someone who actually plays football, as they know they would be beaten like Joe Eszterhas at a feminist rally.
