El-Sayed said that American football is an expression of "toxic masculinity."

I can't disagree.

We are just higher primates who have competed for territory (and women) since we descended from the canopy (see Nolan's latest flick).

Football is a modern sublimation (including the sideline fertility dances by cheerleaders) and is much preferred to war.

I guess that our mini-Zoltar Wolverine is not true blue.

His sub-premise is nonsense. That it promotes "bigotry."

It does the opposite, like any sport. I have friends to this day I'd have never crossed paths with because of football. Football and the military bridge racial and cultural gaps like nothing else.

If anyone called this moron names, it's because he's a weasel and douchebag.
