Sports In Honor of the Rock vs Jock Issue

Football Should Only Be Played By Americans!

I know it’s a mean thing to say, but when other countries start playing football, things go seriously wrong. For example, take the Glasgow Diamonds American Football team, whose promotional video will ruin both sports, and music, forever.

Any non-American who's even interested in that sport must be mentally ill. I mean, at least it's part of our culture—we can't really help it. Being born outside the US is like a "get out of liking football for free" card. Why wouldn't they take advantage?

Liking football in Europe is like playing soccer here in America. It's stupid.

I tried to watch that whole video, but after about a minute (which somehow felt like half an hour) I gave up. Utterly terrible.

Rock vs. Jock Issue? What the heck is the deal with the heavy saturation of Menomena photos in the paper and on the website? Did they buy the Mercury?

Yes they did.

Singing football teams were huge in the 1980's. Well, for a year at least. The Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots also did very horrible team spirit songs, the Scots are not alone.
