The Culture of Football in the United States: How Hegemonic Masculinity Affects and is Expressed in American Football

Let’s not forget all this.
Don’t forget other male-dominated impact sports like hockey or boxing.

Or the aggressive, individualist, status-entitled culture we give to high school athletes.

Or the breed of toxic fatherhood that encourages success of sons = self success.

there's also no strict diagnostic criteria for concussions!

everyone's always like "oh head trauma's okay unless it's a concussion and then you need a magic two week period away from sport" but that's not really true! there's no safe level of head trauma! sub-concussive trauma can still cause cte!

Yay for people who care more about a healthier society than their own personal entertainment!
I love football but not at this cost

We have entire generations of boys & men running around with football induced brain-damage, which may or may not involve increased aggression & violence as symptoms

We *all* have to deal with that because people like to watch them give each other brain damage

But we don’t have to be quiet about it

Oh look, a responsible Teen Vogue article about how dangerous football is to society despite people’s cognitive dissonance about it.

Some of the people in my mentions currently should have played flag football instead.

Maybe if enough people block me, gridiron football will stop being an irresponsibly stupid sport.

Probably not tho.

What kind of cognitive dissonance has a person decrying political violence all week and then enjoying gridiron football all weekend?

Hello? Anyone in there? Do you not see the connection between violence in society and…violence in society?

Reminder:

Supporting and funding gridiron football is stupid unless you also enjoy brain-damaged men running around society causing more problems than we’ve already got.

Dr. Horne is eloquent.

My version: Nichols is a stubborn douchebag who knows why he is wrong and doesn’t care.
The terminological slippage Nichols always employs hides the distinction btwn a “mature” fascist state & a fascist party engaged in consolidation. Diff expressions of fascism, sure, but prob best not to wait around for full consolidation. I can only assume at this point it’s intentional on his part.
Here's where I disagree with @radiofreetom.bsky.social. It's true that the average person in the US, right now, doesn't feel particularly oppressed. But the average person in Germany, in 1933, didn't feel particularly oppressed. They weren't the ones being targeted.

Maybe I’ll actually read Wired articles again now that Jake Lahut doesn’t work there anymore.

Jake Lahut is a hack who publishes lies from questionable sources.

In case anybody forgot.
Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired.

During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later on Wednesday.
