Also, I too hate NFL, but for very different reasons. Really, *all* the testosterone-drunk sports organizations make me hurl. Too much masculinity-worship, entwined with devaluation of women/femininity.
Even on a personal level (well, the personal is political), the gladiatorial posturing of mega-sports networks and stars really turns me off.
