New Anti NFL League = Discussionism

NEw BlOG idea, "The Anti-NFL League". The idea could easily transfer to other sports as well, i.e. "The Anti-MLB", "the Anti-Sports as Culture League", or even "the Pro-Civil Discussion & Book reading League".

The notion, explicitly, of each of these leagues is to engage and encourage thoughtful, honest discussions about holding sports as a ... national pass-time, example of heroicism, reflection of culture, and also tie it to certain behavior and performance standards in business, family life, or other spheres of human activity.

One priniciple point of any of the leagues as a blog needs to include an atmosphere where talk is the paramount thing and ideas are only used to invigorate or inspire that. Meaning, though positions held by talkers may be strict, or wholly believed in, the atmosphere should never dissolve into personal attacks, or other manifestations of the Philistinianism that the leagues are built to deconstruct.

All in all objectivity, principles of sound logic and argument, respect for difference of opinion, and humor are predictably key elements to the atmosphere and development of the leagues. Let's sleep on it and, if so moved, head forward with it as a working idea?
