Especially such violent ones like football.
Football is WAR!
Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.
Football begins in the fall, when everything's dying.
In baseball, during the game, in the stands, there's kind of a picnic feeling; emotions may run high or low, but there's not too much unpleasantness.
In football, during the game in the stands, you can be sure that at least twenty-seven times you're capable of taking the life of a fellow human being.
