“Also a penalty to various doctors, officials, and specialists for deliberately keeping quiet about how serious repeated blows to the head cause permanent brain damage more often then not and deliberately exacerbating the issue with various drugs, hormones, and – hah, I’m kidding, they’re too rich to touch.”
To those of you who say that soccar is boring, you’re not watching the right games. Take a look at the video below and try to say that it’s boring. (All of it is from one game.)
“The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.” Lewis Grizzard
“Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” Vince Lombardi
“There’s two times of year for me: Football season, and waiting for football season.” Darius Rucker
“I ain’t got nothing to say. I just wanna play football.” Marshawn Lynch
Yup, today’s society. The only ultimately bad-bad sin: making someone feel bad about themselves. Even if it’s pointing out to them what they’re doing is wrong/damaging/hateful. Emotional scars, oh my.
Did this strip come out soon after the NFL announced it was adding someone whose job title would make a certain sort of bullying person swell with pride?
A job that, given the demographics of the players, would seem rather redundant.
(Yes, I know this is old. I’m catching up on ones I missed.)
This is happening in 2021. Roughing the passer penalties for breathing on the quarterback, taunting penalties for looking at someone, it’s a complete joke and I hate it.

There’s no crying in baseball.
But, apparently it’s okay in football.

So true, Rat. In the 49ers-Seahawks game today, so many penalties for inadvertent contact, on both sides.
