So, I was perusing some of the Iowa republican-oriented websites this morning. Gotta know what the other side is up to and all that. I stumbled upon this post at iowarepublican. com, Drink of the Week: Football or Futbol?. As has been noted here I have a love-hate relationship with American football and a love-love relationship with round football. So, I couldn’t help but take a peek. I’ve seen some dumb-ass arguments in the football v. futbol wars in my years, but man, this just takes the cake. His visual argument below:
Okay, let’s set aside for the moment the wrongness and utter inanity of objectifying women as part of a “my sport is better than your sport” argument. We’ll take this post as it was probably meant; a tasteless tongue-in-cheek aside to the dudes. I’ll also set aside the utter statstical lunacy of trying to pit the say, 100 million women in the world who give a crap about American football against the (let’s say conservatively) 1 BILLION or so who are soccer fans. Okay, you lose right there. There are ONE THOUSAND TIMES more women who are soccer fans than football fans. If you want to stack the beauties in each group against one-another the numbers are going to crush you.
My main problem is this: Dude, you googled, “soccer babes,” and THAT is the best you came up with?! I mean by virtue of the fact that I have been an internet-based futbol geek for a couple of decades, I can come up with this link just off the top of my head.
Scroll down for the pretty Croatian fans.
Naturally beautiful football fans.
My off-the-cuff selection has the double benefit of being actual naturally beautiful women who are actual fans, not a selection of skanky bikini models who wouldn’t know an end-around from a reach-around. And while we’re on the subject… since Mr. Swearengen writes for the Iowa Republican, what’s up with the Michigan cheesecake?
I swear, can’t these people do ANYTHING without putting their thumbs on the scales and twisting the facts to fit their narrative? And they can’t even do that very well either; simultaneously offending heterosexual soccer lovers and Iowa-based pigskin fans in the process. And they wonder why they keep getting their asses handed to them…
Great entry. “theiowarepublican.com” i love to hate it.
Reach-around, still laughing now that’s funny.
“wouldn’t know an end-around from a reach-around.”
Dude! You’re an ANIMAL!
