Wanda Sykes: Football = "straight man's gay pride parade"

[KurtNYC]

"I used to think that football took place in this overbearing male-only environment that bled masculine domination. But the more I attend, the more I realize these football fans could actually be experiencing the straight man's gay pride parade. You see men painting each other's faces in bright colors. You see men proud to wear another man's last name on their shirt. You see some men wear no shirt at all....Hot wieners on every corner as you walk up to the main competition. Men open the back of their trunks for a little tailgating."

There is more to that routine but I can't find it transcribed. She talks about how they scream out to these other men, have "fantasy football," and the usual mention of "tight ends" and "wide receivers."

7. Come on. Look at football objectively.

A bunch of men in tights slapping each other on the butt, and they're all going to take a shower together later.

If that's not the most latently homosexual game in the world, I don't know what is.

Funny how my high school's football players were always the biggest homophobes......things that make you go hmmmm.
