It may be a technicality and you can’t always tell a game from the box score. I think only the last tackler and sometimes the next-to-last hit gets credited. It’s very possible he “gummed up” his zones so others could make the plays. He may have also been getting double-teamed–which does make it harder to get stats.

Are you sure? I distinctly recall hearing “blah blah blah by Brenden Ayanbadejo”. I noticed not only for the obvious reasons but because it was pronounce “Eye-an-buh-day-JOE” not “Eye-an-buh-day-HO” as I thought.

I am pretty surprised to find in the box score that Brendon Ayanbadejo has zero Tackles or Assists. That’s not easy to do as a linebacker. Too bad.

Me too. The majority of women I know watch football weekly. A large majority of lesbians I know follow sports almost religiously.

And yeah, Donny D is still ignoring the fact that one of the, if not THE most popular gay bar in SF right now is Hi Tops, the gay sports bar, it was even featured in Sports Illustrated just a few days ago.

Please note that I referred to “male team sports worship” and “male team sports spectating”. I am talking about following and spectating male team sports, and NOT engaging in them oneself. (The first of those two phrases was clearly ambiguous and should not have been used.)

And let me repeat one of my sentences with added emphasis:

Straight men, in SF and outside of it, are the only people who, as a group, care all THAT much about male team sports spectating.

What I meant is that, cut by sexual orientation and gender, straight men are the only group among whom following and spectating male teams sports is of interest to the majority.

In my experience, only a minority of gay men are interested in following male team sports, and only a minority of women of any sexual orientation. (I just realized that I’m not sure if only a minority of bisexual men follow male team sports or not. Bisexual men tend to be so unwilling to identify as such that it’s hard to know which of these is true.)

In all of this, I meant only professional and college male team sports, and not any other kind. I don’t know if leaving that out would ever have caused a problem in this discussion, but I’m including it just in case.

You weren’t writing about sports as much or instead about camaraderie and mutual respect. Thanks.

Never the less, I was a jock in high school and college and a coach for many years. I generally maintain a fairly serious workout program, 40 years later.

Athletics is one thing, professional sports quite another.
