ToGoGo Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 NFL Football is a subconscious advertisement for war. That's why the military loves to advertise themselves before games under the guise of "patriotism". It's making a subconscious connection between what you see on the field and the US military. Insidious stuff. As more and more people start to be against war in general, the more football's ratings will drop. There is no fixing this sport. It is not, and has never been a beautiful game like basketball, hockey, soccer, or baseball. 1

We'd call it a battle in a hard fought game. I don't think that's a term exclusively for war. Maybe etymology wise from ancient times. But the meaning has become more ambiguous and not strictly related to war. Even in white collar terms "we have a court room battle coming up", "this bid is going to be quite a battle" Edited April 25, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks 1
