"A grunting, crunching ballet of repressed homoeroticism, football… The exaggerated breadth of the shoulders, the masked eradication of facial personality, the emphasis on contact-vs.-avoidance-of-contact. The gains in terms of penetration and resistance. The tight pants that accentuate the gluteals and hamstrings and what look for all the world like codpieces. The gradual slow shift of venue to 'artificial surface,' 'artificial turf…' And have a look at these men whacking each other's asses after a play… Football is pure homophobically repressed nancy-ism…"
