Well, then f*** off. No one asked you. What are you, a Maoist?

I like football somewhat, but the only teams I like enough to watch are the Bears and Notre Dame.

I'm not Maoist. To prove it, here's a poem that involves football.

Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio

In the Shreve High football stadium,
I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville,
And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel,
Dreaming of heroes.

All the proud fathers are ashamed to go home.
Their women cluck like starved pullets,
Dying for love.

Therefore,
Their sons grow suicidally beautiful
At the beginning of October,
And gallop terribly against each other's bodies.

James Wright

Sorry I didn't see this in time. Anytime anyone is interested in watching an American sports event in Dublin, go to Busker's on Fleet Street in Temple Bar.

I have always loved this poem.

Just when I was walking away from the cemetery, the 49ers won three in a row. Crynoutloud.
