"I've never seen anything like this! It has gone mad, it has gone mad! Mancini's on the pitch, what a goal! They are all cuddling each other, they have love bites and everything!"
-Announcer Paul Merson at the end of the Manchester City-QPR game.
Love bites? That's pretty funny. I sent this to my son. This was his response:
Hahahaha. This is the only time that male-on-male cuddling is
acceptable.
Don't lie dad...if you were there, you would have gladly given a couple
love bites. LOL
acceptable.

He's right...WELL, maybe no "love bites," but hugging, yeah I would have. I have.
My son is absolutely right. Celebrating "your" team's win is about the only occasion on which male physical affection is permitted in America--and England. Most any other situation and you'd get beaten! Why would that be.
