Religion, Women and Football.

Last night I was sitting in the congregation of a large church.
Not a usual occurence.
Just before the sermon all the men got up and walked out. Excellent I thought, leave me with all the women.
But, I was noticed, and some of the men 'ushered' me out as well.
Apparently we were all going to watch a football match on a large screen.
Not liking football I sat at the very back where I couldn't see the screen.
I spoke to a large, fit looking guy next to me and said that we were all right here, right at the very back, out of sight and sound of the screen.
He glared at me and said that he was the projectionist and also starred in the film.
Football and Religion, if its not one or both, its the other, that's leaving out the women altogether.

The Football Match

I went into a large open air football match. The pitch was at the bottom of a deep valley. There were thousands of young men watching the game. The problem was that from the top of the valley the pitch was invisible, the slope down to it being convex. I tried to go down the slope towards the pitch. The slope got steeper, no sign of the pitch, just thousands of young men, many of which must have been crushed to death, but all cheering the game.
I still have a lot to learn about football.
