Is football not a great outlet for life, meritocracy, young men?

[Santa Ball]

Yes
No

I do wonder these days if football is now considered a relic, barbaric behavior of the past when machismo was misguided. Perhaps the argument goes , aggression despite the cohesive one goal, promotes the worse in men.

This time/world we live in demands communion, bow down and accept testosterone is the disease, but why? Subsequent behavior models in young men and historic evidence-based science now is considered blasphemy?

So many positive stories of young men succeeding is now considered by some toxic masculinity. Where did we go as a society?

My wish to all young men, and their families this Season is to realize life is hard, being a man is hard, but being a man is okay, being a warrior is ok, future provider is okay. Whoever you are, whoever means something to you, your “inspiration”, be brave, be you, support your brothers and kick ass This season.

simply put, NOT evidence based, not remotely related to sport, not anthropologic. innuendo….

So many positive stories of young men succeeding is now considered by some toxic masculinity. Where did we go as a society? Where are we now?

I am not good with tech so don't know how to post stuff. But go to youtube and put in OKG. It's the best picture of small town football. When I think of high school football. Just one man's opinion.

Besides all the valuable life lessons football teaches, it’s a great outlet for aggression in a relatively safe and controlled environment

Times are a changing. Hard Times create Hard Men while Soft times create soft men. We are in the latter at the moment. Everything we do today is to make it easier for you. Life isn't easy there is struggle there is hard times, but when you come out on the other side a better man, well that is what we are missing these days. Everything is built for convenience and complacency! Don't you dare offend anyone today or you will be attacked by the brave keyboard warriors. Just remember when the SH*t goes down who are you going to call on? You will call on those men you blamed for having all that toxic masculinity, not the guy who has a murse and has a cool hair cut!

murse??

To me the biggest benefit of football is it teaches delayed gratification. One trains year round to play 10 games. These days it’s so easy to google for instant gratification.
