That's why the ref is gesturing toward the Steelers' side of the line of scrimmage

Also likely why the fans are so pleased, they don't get to see that kind of shit much anymore

The Coliseum demands blood!

Martial arts would greatly improve my enjoyment of football.

Speedball needs to become a reality for fuck's sake.

Yeah, I would watch football if they did this on a regular basis. The players are paid millions of dollars a year to just run back and forth with a ball. Let them do some karate, for chrissakes!

I have a mild interest in the Seahawks but mostly out of spite. Years and years ago my dad took me up to Seattle to watch the Packers and the Hawks and this was back when Reggie White was playing and it was a shut down. I can't remember the final score but it was like 56-7 Packers. So the game the other night felt kind of nice, as I went to Wisconsin and married into a Packer family. The whole game I'm imagining my ex father in law's head exploding, Scanners style.

Also Evilhomer we had our chance with XFL. Daddy Mac is somewhere crying right now :(

The "foot" in the word football does not actually refer to one's feet. Rather, the name has it's etymological roots in the medieval concept of *footmen*, as opposed to the mounted gentry. "Football" was a game played on foot, rather than a game played on horseback. Therefore, a more etymologically clear version of the name might be "dismounted proletarian carry-ball".

Of course, the earliest versions of football were notoriously violent and chaotic, so in that sense I guess there is a very strong historical precedent for what this player did.
