Well for us in Australia this really isn't an issue - since we have basically no televsion access to the NFL.
And besides, those guys are wimps! Wearing all that padding, lycra pants and helemts! Maybe you should boycott the NFL and watch some of the football that is played in Australia - you can chose from Rugby League, Rugby Union or Australian Football (Aussie Rules).
Geez...I'm sure that's going to open a can of worms.
