So some judge just reinstated the NFL lockout. I’m not sure how I feel about this whole thing, but not for the reasons that you might think. After all, there are other sports to choose from, you know. But how am I supposed to respect the toughness of all of these super-macho football players when a simple judge’s order can keep them out of somewhere? Couldn’t they just tackle him and twist his head off, and then threaten to do it to anyone else who tries to enforce the lockout? And I mean, really! They’re not dominant enough to smash through the doors of the stadiums and practice facilities and play football just to prove that nobody could stop them? What’s the point of watching a game for the toughness when all the players simply lay down on the job just because some penny-ante judge or old geezer team owner said they had to? Come on, guys! Show us you’re such bad-asses by forcing them to do things your way by force of sheer muscle! Otherwise, it starts to look as fake as pro wrestling.
