Girl Scouts VS. Cheerleaders

Nobody pushed the advancement of the sport of football more thank President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During WWII President Franklin encouraged men to play the sport of football in hopes of it making men more masculine and more eager to fight in the war.

I think it is time for something like this to happen again.

Football has slowly started to turn in to a 2 hand touch game. So many rule changes have happend in the game that it has taken away from aggresiveness of the game. People watch the sport for the big hits.

In the 70's players like jack tatum and deacon jones roamed the field looking for an opportunity to take someones head off. It was a time when people were allowed to lead with their head and they were allowed to hit people low. It was a time when the sport of football was played the way it was suppose to be. Now, we are forced to watch a sport where you can get flagged for hitting someone to hard... REALLY? HITTING SOMEONE TO HARD!!! And they mask it by calling it unneccisary roughness.... the sport is a rough sport... you are suppose to hit people hard.

So due to that fact that the defense is not allowed to hit hard, the scoring in football has gone up. Running backs are not affraid to run outside. Recievers are not affraid to run a route across the middle. Instead of games ending in a 7 to 10 score, games now end 35 to 42. I'll admit I love to see 80 yard bombs to the endzone for a touchdown but the reason I loved it was so that I could see players celebrate. So what does the league do? They make celebrating illegal too.. at this point I'm starting to think the league wants me to suffer. I loved the celebrations like the Atlanta Falcons Dirty bird dance, or Terrell Owens pulling out a sharpie to autograph the ball after he scores. I even liked seeing Chad Ochocinco use an endzone marker as a putter and putting the football like it was golf... it got to a point where I was so excited to see touchdowns because I wanted to see what celebration they could come up with. So basically, if for some crazy reason the comissioner of the nfl roger goodell were to read this I'm asking you please make the league the way it use to be when men got knocked out cold and the defense dance around the player laying on the ground. Thanks.
