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. :-)
Donate today as generously
as you can to
la-spca.org
