American Football

Matt, Derek, and Alastair talk about American football, and Matthew Millsap joins the fun.

Matt, Derek, and Alastair decide to talk about American football. They invited Matthew Millsap to the show to join the fun.

If you listen to this show, you’ll quickly learn that Alastair isn’t really a fan of American football. By that I mean, this is what he thinks: “I see American Football as the sport that’s the obvious creation of a society based around hyperconsumption. It’s only about a dozen minutes of actual stuttering play stuffed into this capitalist packaging of hype and image, coming with hundreds of adverts for products you weren’t interested in and drowning in a wealth of the packing chips of instant replays and shots of players and officials loitering. I just can’t see the appeal.”

Definitely give this one a listen.
