I'm sort of stealing this topic from a story I saw on Yahoo! Sports a week or two ago. I thought the topic needed to be discussed further. I mean, seriously, what is with the connection between football and country music?!?!? Why do television networks insist on playing god-awful country music during football game intros, outros, any-tros for that matter?!? Anyone??
Could it possibly be that football is solely an American sport and country music is solely an American music genre?
WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?!?
Country music blows. It blows even worse when its paired with football.
Lets go through the basics...
Football - Manly, ruthless, fierce, competitive, fast, exciting, emotional
Country Music - Thinks its manly, never fierce, usually consisting of an overweight southerner who talks too much about drinking beer and his F-150. The demographic for country music usually consists of high school girls who memorize every word of a Rascall Flatts song and sing with their girlfriends while buzzing around in their little cute red Mazdas.
Another problem with this combination is simply the fact that most likely, 2% of NFL players actually listen to country music. Those players are mostly overweight, white offensive lineman that have confederate flags tattooed on their flabby arms.
Wouldn't heavy riffs and rhythmic beats be a little more suitable to the game of football? Country music has never been seen as really "cool" or "motivational."
I'm done with this rant. It's 1:00 am and its been a while since I've made a post. This was simply too nagging to let die...and it had to be said.
But if I could ask one question of you American football fans out there..
Can we please put a boot in the ass of country music with football??
