Reply #59: There's no need for anyone to apologize for liking football, [View All]

and people who dislike football aren't snobs.

Of course I expect those who love the sport to hop in and defend it, that's the nature of posts at DU. And yes, I think you football lovers are being overly sensitive here. Everything and everybody is regularly praised, trashed and debated at DU, from movie stars to politicos to TV shows to musicians etc, etc. If someone opines that they don't like Tom Cruise's acting or says that they think the Food Network® sucks, I'd think it was overly sensitive for someone to refer to such dissenters as "snobs" or "people who like to bitch about what other people like."

What is it with you football fans and your thin skins? :)
