Liberal Football

This is my idea of football if liberals ran the game:

  1. There would be no score keeping because we don't want the loser I mean the losing team to feel bad.
  2. If the score was kept track of then the most winning team would be handicapped by not being allowed field goals or limiting the number of timeouts. The non-handicapped team could be given a lot of timeouts.
  3. You cannot name your team after a weapon or any thing that seems violent. You are better off sticking with name like roses, daffodils, etc.
  4. There would be a quota for non-athletic players. For example receivers who aren't very good at catching the football or quarterbacks who are not very good throwing the football.
  5. Coaches cannot yell at their players. It might hurt their feelings.
  6. If the game is close by 1-4 points the losing team can ask to see all the replays to make sure the other team was not cheating or to make sure the referees were doing there job.
  7. If the game ends in a tie, this a good thing because everyone wins. No need to go into overtime. Overtime causes too much stress.
  8. No praying by the coaching staff or football players before the start of the game as this violates the separation of church and football and will make the ACLU angry.
  9. If a football player makes a touchdown and then dances in the end zone to celebrate, he could be kicked out of the rest of the game. Dancing can hurt the feelings of the opponent's fans or the opponent's feelings themselves.
  10. Fans can not boo anyone.
  11. Only vegetarian food and/or low-fat foods are served at the game. We want to keep the fans healthy.
  12. You cannot be proud of your team or feel it is exceptional. After all your team is no better than any other team. No waving of team flags will be allowed or anything else that might make it seem you are proud of your team.
  13. If a someone enters a stadium without buying a ticket he is allowed to stay and can be escorted to a good seat. This is called the "open stadium" policy. Anyone can enter any football stadium during a game without a ticket.
  14. Tackles would be disallowed because someone might get seriously injured. Instead touch or flag football would replace tackle football.
  15. If the points spread is 20 or more then the team ahead has to share at least 10 points with the other team so the team behind has a fair chance to win. This is called "points justice" or "score justice."
That's all I can think of for now.
