Do they know that football involves a bunch of men grabbing each other?

And that’s basically it!
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.
How gay is that?! They need to have their own party, because they aren't welcome at the regular one. Such cry babies with their safe spaces and delicate feelings.
Every time I read TPUSA. I think Toilet Paper USA. Not complaining, because that's what it is basically
I want to defend the toilet paper for keeping shit off your hands while TPUSA is the literal shit
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.
When a bunch of conservatives get together, they crash grindr, so... Yeah.
Every accusation of theirs is a confession. Every single one. No exceptions.
Conservatives don't assimilate into American society.
really have to stop calling them conservatives, they're regressives clearly
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.
Watching 300 lb men huddle in spandex for 4 hours not gay, but 2 halftime music acts are way too far beyond the rainbow...
Nazis sure are some fragile people.
Usually if a group of people spend several years calling everything a snowflake... Yeah it do be like that

I’ll make my own halftime show, with pedos, and mar-a-Lago face!
I can wait to find out what loser right wing celebs they haul out to combat the wokeness. 😂
Kid Rock instantly materialises
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.
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.
Toilet Paper USA
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.
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.
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.
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.
It must be so sad to belong to the drab old culture MAGA idolizes, and watch the entire world just move the fuck on constantly, not giving a single shit, when you think that football-and-Jesus culture is some kind of temple eternal.
They would know all about what gay is I guess.
They'll be exchanging Nazi salutes while reading the bible. Fuck them.

I mean superbowl has sucked (to me) forever, so imm skip the game, the halftime show and the alternate halftime show.
While im dissenting, I also think every publicly financed football stadium should share 5% of profits with its host city. And some of that should be set aside to bulldoze the stadium when it reaches its end of life.
FYI the Superbowl is a great time to go to the grocery store. I mark it on my calendar so I don't forget
