You know what really needs to be banned from football?
Being a complete and utter fucking pooftah, that's what. And I don't give a fuck if any of you cunts think that is homophobic.

Just now, I had the great misfortune of reading this article:
Apparently there are some absolute fucking idiots that want to ban heading from football/soccer. Are these people absolutely stupid? Football is a man's game and despite what some Americans may think, the kind of football where you don't get to wear helmets and actually have to use your feet can be quite a physical game at times. Well, at least it still does in the British Isles; where diving is still frowned upon, unlike in Europe.
Do some nasty accidents happen? Yes. Does that mean that all physicality should be removed from the game? Of course not, for it is that physicality that makes the game what it is.
Compared to the heavier, often waterlogged balls used in the 1950s and 60s, the modern ball is ridiculously light; therefore as long as you actually learn how to head the ball properly 90% of the time (using your forehead), you won't get hurt at all. Not to mention that players are still capable of banging heads simply by accidentally running into each other.
Whoever thinks that heading should be banned are probably the same sort of people that would ban tackling. Or maybe even being competitive. When I was a young lad playing footy in the playground, any silly woman who suggested that heading was forbidden would get laughed at. As for boys that agreed with her ideas, they'd get their heads kicked in, and rightfully so.
You think that heading a ball is dangerous? Try having a fight. Or being involved in a war. Some of these experts are hellbent upon trying to turn future generations of footballers into sissies; as if they weren't already facing enough attacks upon their masculinity as it is.
