Teddy Roosevelt loved the sport because he thought it was a good way to instill young men with imperialist values and keep them hyped for war during peace time. It was also a lot more deregulated back then. Helmets were leather and weren't mandatory, there were no face masks, tackling was a lot rougher, dogpiles were the rule rather than the exception, long distance passing almost never happened and every play was about ramming through the defensive line with full force, and deaths were a regular occurrence. They also played on real grass with sticks and rocks coming up out of the ground instead of on astroturf.

One lucky gentleman who had purchased the buildings only 7 weeks earlier got a $4.5 billion insurance payout... he had been advised against purchasing the buildings because they needed to be renovated on every floor to remove the asbestos and it would have cost him millions. Renovations were scheduled for 2002. That problem was eliminated by some airplanes and he became a lot richer in the process... and proceeded to brag about it on multiple occasions!

no this comic is a war crime because people fill in the sportsball speech bubble to make the character criticize their shitty unexamined reactionary treats. For (an extreme) example:

"oh hey, you enjoying blackface cartoons from the 1930s again? That's pretty messed u-"

"shhhh let people enjoy things"
