[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or what??? One of my kids is really into watching sports on tv so I've been watching a lot of football lately. Wow.... The football players are wearing those skin-tight tights that reveal their chiseled butts and thighs, their arms extending out of their jerseys are totally muscular and perfect. They're constantly giving each other congratulatory pats on each others' butts and doing chest-bumps, and leaning their helmets against each other -- they must be able to breathe each others' breath. And then of course they're falling all over each other on the field.

How can watching all this not be a homo-erotic event for men? Or is that a well-established fact that I've somehow missed? It seems like if it were for straight men, they would at least change the uniforms to be less sexy....[/quote]

You’ve caught us, OP.  Tens of millions of men, pining for the love that dare not speak its name, week after week after week.  The erotic thrill associated with watching a sweaty, 330 pound defensive tackle tackle a slender, dare I say twink-like quarterback.  Oh, golly.  Don’t believe the haters or those in denial here.  And don’t get me started on the “tight ends” or “wide receivers.”  Could you be any more obvious?  The man-on-man action in the restrooms at “Hooters”—a national chain that makes its money as a beard—any given Sunday has to be seen to be believed.  I’m surprised it took you so long to notice.[/quote]
You wouldn’t have put so much effort into this post if OP hadn’t touched a nerve.

There’s homoeroticism and also sanctioned violence. But there’s also just the expression of emotion, both between the players and in the viewers. Men don’t have a lot of ways to express those feelings.[/quote]
