Ten reasons I hate football

10.  It's a stupid game.  Helmets crashing into each other...nuff said.

9.  They move in spurts, a play, then a huge pause, then another play, then another huge pause.

8.  Practice is too early to eat dinner...

7.  but way too late to eat dinner.  Hello, dinner at 9:00??  Nice.

6.  Looks like all the games are going to be at 8:30 Sunday mornings.  Super lame.

5.  My kid is on the third string, meaning that we will sit through all of these practices and games all to see him play 5 minutes.

4.  It's a stupid game.  I know, second time on the list, but it bears repeating.

3.  It totally disrupts our entire family.  Seven days a week.  Hate it.

2.  It's always cold and/or raining when I'm sitting there.

1.  What a stupid game...

BUT

The reason I will endure, that reason is aboslutely singular and alone.  Nicolas.  I love that kid.

I can still pray that he'll decide to love soccer like the other kids, right?
