[Oe List ...] Theological Justification for Football

[James Wiegel]

Found this in THE WEEK 1/29/2010

"In the 174 minutes  of an average football telecast, viewers see about 60 minutes of commercials, 75 minutes of players huddling or milling about between snaps, 17 minutes of replays -- and just 11 minutes of actual football."  (The Wall Street Journal)

[Pete Seeger] talks about how important it is to him to get an audience singing along. "I guess it’s kind of a religion with me.  Participation: that’s what’s going to save the human race." -- Pete Seeger in The Power of Song

It's 
football like in "Invictus," I think. The real bloody kind, right, Paul? Hardly 
padded Am. football or global soccer.

C'mon Paul.  That's not football, that's  soccer!
