Maybe you should start a new sport which has no TV control, lead the backlash against modeern media through underground sport. Something like Rollerball?

Any sport that calls itself "football" , but has fans that are feared far more than the players is a wussy sport not worthy of the name . That's why we call it soccer , and why it's only acceptable for 8 year old girls to play it . My son called soccer players "field fairys" when he was 9 . Even kids understand that here .
As for my pick - I'm ...[text shortened]... am , Franco , the only team from that bygone era tough enough and good enough to compete today .
That's really a symptom of modern football, but Spike rather knocked it on the head. Stupid professional era, ruined the game. Anyway, Spike was more of a rugger man, so let's hope that Union doesn't follow that path!
But, explain this to me, now that you Yanks have taken over the thread.
Question no.1.
Why, if the game only has 1 hour of playing time, does it take 3 and a half hours to play a match?
