Phallic football
You ever notice that football players look like penises? That rounded helmet and the body-protection that keeps them rigid. There is also the matter of tackling where the player launches, or thrusts, himself at a target, helmet first. I have noticed that they spit a lot on the sidelines too.
Other issues here that are not found in other sports:
The tight pants. Why? It’s like playing in a latex body-suit. Why does a manly sport need to show off the glutes of its participants?
The contact. They all have to pile up to stop a runner or to get a loose ball. Piles that are two or three men deep, writhing and grinding.
The shape of the ball. Not exactly phallic, but elongated, which makes it more phallic than a regular spherical ball.
It seems like there is a lot of denial here. Being a heterosexual male football fan myself I am no way implying that this sport is gay, however, it does seem to have been designed by someone with issues.
