Prof. Alan Dundes tells us his theory on football 

Before you watch the Super Bowl today (kickoff is at 3:30 PM in case you forgot), you might want to check out anthropology professor Alan Dundes theory on football.

The secret meaning of football, he says, is revealed in the language of football.

"The lingo is so sexual -- to score, to go all the way, deep penetration, jocks. You have all this sexual imagery. Plus the military language -- the blitz, the bomb, the sack, down in the trenches. It's all this stuff about pillage and rape."

Obviously, there are those opposed to this theory.

Sorry about that, folks. Pay no attention to that man. He's a professor at Berkeley, for crying out loud! His theory is obviously nutty. Even his wife hates it.

You can read about this and theories by other professors in this article from the Washington Post.Email This Post!
