You need to understand the Globe context. It's not just this one piece.It's amazing that about 90% of responses here are so over the top defensive. I guess it means the guy has struck a nerve.
The most effective response is the acknowledge what's true about the piece and about football, and yet accept one's own position as a fan too. I never flaunt being a sports fan, and am guilty if i spend too much time with sports, but I continue on as I do with other things in my life that I am half-trapped in, and realizing all the down sides, from sheer commercialism to heavy masculine display to the upside of entertainment, strategy, and racial interest so much a part of the NFL and the NBA.
