“Men voluntarily getting together to play a rough-and-tumble game troubles him, but killing innocent men, women and children in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and who knows where else; torturing suspects; allowing police officers to exercise unrestrained force against people; none of these practices bother him?  But as the state is defined as an institution enjoying a monopoly on the use of violence within a given territory, is his concern about the voluntary violence in football grounded in the need to protect the state’s monopoly from outsiders?  While the Despot-in-Chief is on the topic, does he have any opinions about overtime rules, celebration penalties, the BCS system, or modifying the ‘fair catch’ rule?”
