NFL's First Broadcast In 3-D, Still Has Work To Do

darkwing_bmf writes "The NFL broadcast a live game to theaters in 3-D for the first time on Thursday night. The technology demonstration was mostly successful but they still have some issues to work out. 'Some scenes clearly captured the benefits of 3-D broadcasts, however, such as an interception by Chargers linebacker Stephen Cooper as players crisscrossed the field, and a long touchdown catch by San Diego's Vincent Jackson with the arc of the ball caught on camera all the way. Viewers were encouraged to text in their reaction to the viewing. One of the first comments, according to the commentators: "More cheerleaders."'"

    No, that doesn't follow. Being enthusiastically hetero is not at all the same as being homophobic

    No, but describing that everything you don't like as a vivid representation of homoeroticism kind of is. Football isn't suppose to get a sexual rise out of men. It's a game of simulated warfare and athletic strategy. It's attraction to a typical man's adrenal gland falls under the star of Ares rather than Venus. If your worldview is absorbed by the binary distribution of "Does it turn me on sexually or is it for teh gays?" then your condition is considered a disorder and downright creepy by the opposite sex. It is admittedly healthier than an obsession with violence, and easier to cure as you probably just need to get laid or lay off the porn for a while. Go camping or something.

    This just in: Athletes should wear baggy pants otherwise insecure career nerds will feel threatened by alleged homo-eroticism.

    You don't like football. Stop posting in a thread about football.
