It’s that time of year we’re reminded of the human capacity for stupidity specific to football. American football that is not European football or soccer as it’s called in the US. While I discuss the American phenomena of football-inspired moronics here, I will openly admit this is one of the few times I must judge European football fans much worse than Americans – often riots break out and attending a ‘football’ game in Europe especially when it’s a game between 2 vicious rivals can literally be dangerous. The fans reach a level of nuts the Americans have yet to master but something to which to aspire. While not nearly as insanely combative, the American counterparts do a pretty decent job of exhibited a category of stupidity I can only classify as ‘sports-specific stupid’ especially when it comes to their beloved football.

So, unless you are an American living in Montana and does not give a FAK about the rest of the world, you probably know by know that France has a new president called Nicolas Sarkozy. He also likes George W. and they had holidays together. You may also know that he is separated from his wife and that he has a new girlfriend, ex model / actress / singer / slut / (enter whatever you want here).
