The fact that it is a "sissy" sport.
If you have ever actually played it to a decent level, watched a decent game, you will realise it is not.
Funny how you can call it a "sissy" sport when it is a contact sport, and 2 of the most popular sports in america are non contact sports.
Admitedly I''ve only played it in grade school. As part of the curriculum.
But I've seen it.
Nephews was a star at it in HS ( yes because his mom wouldnt let him play football)
Saw him play several times.
Seen it played on TV several times.
I have neither experianced nor have I seen anything in that game at any level that would lead me to beleive it was anything less, then a sissy sport.
Bout the only other "sports" I can think of that is more sissy is Badminton and Golf. And unfortunately I dont view Golf as being a real sport but rather an activity or that would win top honors.
