From: Albertus Magnus Area: Metaphysical To: All 28 May 94 17:15:06 Subject: What if Earth First! handicapped the NFL?UpdReq The Tree-Hugger's Guide to the NFL ---------------------------------- Sure, football is a violence-glorifying testosterone orgy that should be banned. But that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it when you're not out spiking trees or protesting your local gas station as a pollution- mongering crime against the Earth. But when you're watching 22 steroid- chomping overmuscled monsters (i.e, men) try to beat each other senseless in a series of imperialist land grabs, how do you know who to cheer for? We have the answer: Ranking the entire NFL in terms of What We Know Is Right. Our General Principles: 1. Any animal is better than any human. 2. Endangered animals are better than non-endangered animals. 3. Native Americans are better than other oppressed/discriminated minorities are better than any other human. 4. Humans guilty of crimes against other humans are better than humans guilty of crimes against animals are better than humans guilty of crimes against the Earth. 5. Team names that aren't PC need to be fixed. Some Special Cases: 1. Dolphins are the ultimate. 2. People who believe in their country are the absolute worst - lower than whale shit. And so, the Rankings: 1. Miami Noble, Intelligent, and Wise Dolphins 2. Philadelphia Endangered Bald Eagles 3. Atlanta Endangered Peregrine Falcons 4. Cincinnati Endangered Bengal Tigers 5. Chicago Endangered Grizzly Bears 6. Los Angeles Sort Of Endangered Rams 7. Seattle Generic Sea Birds, Some Of Which Are Endangered 8. Denver Horses Ridden Abusively By Humans 9. Detroit Lions 10.
