Momcat's Vegan Project: NFL BOYCOTT SPREADS! BOYCOTT PUPPY TORTURERS AND BORING NFL FOOTBALL, PLEASE!

AN NFL ALTERNATIVE: REAL FOOTBALL PLAYED

ON AN AUTUMN DAY ON AND AROUND

THE MADISON, CT LONG ISLAND SOUND SHORELINE

BY

NON ANIMAL-ABUSERS

FOR NO PROFIT MOTIVE AT ALL:

Nobody gets any salary and $1.00 is collected

       by Mom--Patty--and placed into

a not-so-secure metal

cash box, if you have

the buck.

No armed security required or utilized.

Though an ambulance is running

and two paramedics

are at the ready,

just in case.

The players wear protective

gear, but are miniatures of

their NFL[and NCAA]

counterparts.

4th Graders, most well under 5 feet

tall.

The cheerleaders were given equal

billing and wore

modest attire, compared to

the sexploitation

utilized by the NFL via

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders,

for example.

On a chilly October eve, some

covered up in jackets

and what-not.

Next to the football field was a beach.

Another football game was being played there.

The general rules were the same, but no

striped officials were needed to

adjudicate disputes,

and dispute resolution

occurred amicably

and with justice for all.

No one in this

game

received any salary, either.

"Mom"

was the only official evident

for this pick up game.

She was reading a self-help book

and is an R.N. from

British Columbia where they

have "government medicine",

even better than "government

option", she says.
I believe her.
She, I believe, is an expert witness
on medical matters, more so
than anyone who
testified during the
Congressional fiasco on health care.

Three of the players were her sons

and her pride was evident.

She gave one of them

the metallic blue Nerf

football with which
they were playing.

The Madison Tigers were down by 7 in the first quarter,

it mattered, but nobody seemed

too concerned about the score.

And the cheerleaders cheered and

were athletic and synchronized just as well

as the football teams themselves,

and were far more beautiful

than the Dallas Cowboy

Cheerleaders.

The Final Score:

The NFL is playing no game whatsoever.

It is out for profit at any cost.

The Philadelphia Eagles are playing no game whatsoever.

They are out for profit at any cost.

Michael Vick is playing no game whatsoever.

He is out for profit at any cost.

The MYFCL(Madison Youth Football and

Cheerleading League) is sponsoring

children at play with a game

that may be rough and challenging(both

cheerleading and football,

if both are done correctly I do believe) that was

made for kids.

That such play prepares kids to

live morally and ethically

upstanding lives.

Perhaps the pick-up game

on the beach is teaching

those values even more

effectively than the more
organized game
on the field.

And neither game

featured the profit motive.

Neither does Canadian Medicine.

Neither does "Mom."

Relative to the U.S., Canada's life

expectancy is growing by leaps

and bounds.  Ours is lagging
behind with
the private profit motive
 scheme we have
going still, despite
the progress made this year.

And the quality of the lives of all involved

in both games yesterday

was measurably enhanced by those

games.
Especially my own.  What an evening!
[Thank you MYFCL, adults, and especially
the kids!]

Not so, with the NFL, the Professional

Golfers' Association(hi Tiger...  Woods),

or most professional and

Division 1 NCAA financial sports conglomerates

today.

And neither were the canines mercilessly

abused by Philadelphia Eagles'

quarterback Michael Vick.

The Weekend is here. Please enjoy it, and

please be kind to animals.

Boycott the NFL this weekend,

if you're a football fan,

don't go to a game

or watch on TV.

Have a pick-up game 

with some kids instead, 

or go to an amateur event

involving kids and be

a good role model 

instead, please. 

Please tell your friends.

Boycott the Philadelphia Eagles.

Boycott Michael Vick.

Put an end to animal cruelty.

It's time for the BP prosecutions

to begin.

Adopt an animal instead

of buying one if you can, but

adopt, please.

Be a hero to yourself, your family

and to your new

canine or feline

family member. :-)
