Grew up in a Football (Soccer) town. The local team was a fairly big deal and it was pretty much mandatory to be a fan if you lived there.
I was never into sports and started referring to Football as “that game where a bunch of very fit men in shorts and knee-socks, frolic in a grass-field”.
It was not appreciated.
Man that’s similar to my take on baseball.
Tall, super-model-fit men swing wood at balls pitched by other men.
Straight guy who enjoys baseball here – youre not wrong!
At least baseball doesn’t need to have a squad of attractive women bouncing around in skirts on the sidelines to affirm the viewers’ sexuality.

I always thought they put them there because without them there’d literally be nothing about the whole affair worth watching.
It does offer about the same amount of (in)action as 'murican handegg
I remember reading an analysis of in-play vs idle time of several popular pro sports, and American football was dead last, even behind baseball.
Which is fine on its own, but pretty ironic given how so many American football fans seem to sneer on soccer for being too boring.
You know I never understood the point of cheerleaders other than being fun to look at.
Your explanation makes way more sense.
“We are not gay, we have scantily-dressed womenfolk present, thus proving our masculinity beyond question! Definitely. Not. Gay!”
I feel like that scene with the Joker explaining how people react to others getting shot. There were two school shootings that day and the children getting shot got basically no attention because it’s just part of the plan. Now I have people who complained endlessly about political correctness telling me I have to be politically correct.
The slaughter of children has been culturally normalized, and I might feel a small amount of pity for Kirk had he not been actively contributing to that culture at the moment of his death.
If I could communicate verbally well id totally use this lol
