What I Think About Football

Joe Schick has a front page article in The Jewish Press about Orthodox Jews and sports. He quotes me as follows (link):

Rabbi Gil Student of Yashar Books and the Hirhurim blog once said that "movies are often halachically objectionable but at times they can have artistic value. Football is simply a bunch of men pummeling each other."

He tends to disagree.

(Yes, I know the picture is of a Jet. I don't follow football but if I did I would be a Jets fan.)
