    OPINION — Ever since I was a kid I’ve enjoyed football. Not soccer, which everyone outside the US calls football. Real football. The sport of kings. A game that’s so rough the players have to wear padding under their jammies to keep from getting damaged too bad. A head-to-head standoff between two teams of six players on an 80- by 40-yard field of grass. Or maybe rocks. And dirt. Lots of dirt. You need the dirt to soak up the blood.
